Several teams report that their fuel consumption is much higher here, probably due to higher race speeds. They are having to make stops for fuel every 1:20 to 1:30 instead of nearly 2 hours.

#8 Eggboy was in the pits for more work, this time an O2 sensor. They believe it is realted to their earlier ignition issues.

#66 slid off on the outside of the Carousel and hit the wall, but was able to continue.

#34 Subaru is running well. The team members have recently started a new web site for Crap Can racing... http://www.crapcanlive.com/

#00 SHO lost its exhaust. This is emabarrasing for the team because they own an exhaust repair shop in Elkhart Lake. On the plus side, they can make repairs overnight in their shop.

#21 Brake Dusters BMW 540 is stuck in 3rd gear. It's an A/T.

#68 Sgt. Shitbox BMW reports there is mud and slop on the inside lane of the Carousel, but clear if you stay out about a car width. There is also water dribbling across the track at The Bend.

#11 Lowered Expectations Acura is parked in the paddock, no one around to ask what happened.

#14 Datsun 210 is a former IT (Improved Touring) car that has been stripped of glass and made ChumpCar legal... almost. Tech gave the team 5 penalty laps for some go-faster bits that are IT legal. The car is not fast since it has a very stock 1400cc pushrod engine.

#98 Mustang spent a lot of time in the paddock for repair of the brakes. The team installed NEW rear calipers and rotors in addition to pads.

#84 had ignition and timing issues early on, but the car is now running well, according to StigDad.

#46 Cougar Bait was running well until just after the last update. They have been in the pits a couple of times for possible turbo problems.

#99 had overheating problems and a stuck throttle, but the car is now running well.

#33 is running smooth, though their team radio is on the fritz. They can hear the driver but he can't hear the pits.
