Jonny Davies is in the car and we are running nose-to-tail with the HPD #19 CR-Z – we have one lap in hand.
Our front end vibration (which had been violent enough to shake the cowling from the dash) has been traced to a damaged left front tire. A tire which failed just before our scheduled pit stop.
The Honda is capable of turning laps about 3 seconds faster than our Miata. Again, barring a disaster for us, they will need to chase us down – they had been having occasional success all through the night.
We are loaded with Aces – it’s time to see how they play…
