Big thanks to Tom Badger for calling another winning strategy, and for bringing the over-the-wall gang we know as Wes, Chris, Haus, Robert and Samantha. Josh and our Chris, not to forget Steve Strickland's "F1" duty all day! Katherine for keeping us fed (very well!) all day. Can't forget Becca putting up with me bringing work home for weeks, she was just as excited as we were, but had to watch live timing from home this year.
Doesn't happen without parts either, Race Engineering power, Carbotech brakes, Retro Solutions lighting and Hoosier tires!!!!
Thank you to everyone who was behind this effort, we have proven yet again, you cannot beat total comittment to prep work BEFORE a major race.Last but certainly not least, all the VOLUNTEER officals, marshalls and all those other "behind the scenes" people that allow us to play, merely in exchange for a seat close to the action.
Thanks agian to everyone, see you next year!

The drivers, Bob Thornton, Jason Owenby, Dillon Machavern and myself get all the credit,
We didn't give you any credit at all Steve!
Congrats guys, nice job! Figured anyone that was going to beat you was going to have to bring an A+ game in SM.
Gotta also congratulate the AMG guys:
Stephan Tisseront for stepping up to run the 2.5L MX-5 and getting 3rd overall/2nd in class.
Chip Howell, Tom Hart, and Michael Lliteras for finishing 3rd in SM - great work by these guys to secure 3rd in the closing laps with a broken gearbox.
Lots of fun again this year, looking forward to the 25hrs.

We chased you and your teammates all day but could not catch you. Great driving by all.
Todd,
A big shout out to you for getting the AMG group together for the 13 hour. Todd's encouragement and coaching are an enormous help during an event like the Charge of the Headlight Brigade. Being under the tent with Todd is a fantastic learning experience and always a lot of fun.

Here is the Start and first few laps of the Charge of the Headlight Brigade. I had fun regaining positions after a spin in L2. We lost 5th gear with about 2 hours to go but finished in 3rd place. Hats off to my co-drivers Chip Howell and Michael Lliteras!
