Heading to the Endurance track.
And we're off with Andy Gryczan at the wheel!
Going through the first slalom
Mid-track
I believe this is Andy's last lap, signaling the mid-point of the race and time for a driver change
Driver Change successful - time for the Goad Show!
Brandon @ mid-track. I was close to the track here and remember hearing the engine absolutely screaming (due to being stuck in 1st gear).
Heading into the final S curve
Hi Goad!
Final lap!
Last round of Design: Powertrain was a hot topic for this event.
2009 Chief Engineer Andy Rogers discusses Car 51's Chassis optimizer, developed by Team Leader Paul Strefling.
Jordan discusses Suspension Kinematics with some of the best.
Chassis discussion
Cooling system questions
Getting tired towards the end of Design.
Note: Andy Gryczan is STILL talking about Powertrain. He talked for approximately 89 minutes and 30 seconds out of the 90 minute round. Fantastic job Andy!
Receiving a final critique from Design Chief Mike O'Neil.
