Claude,
Financially, our team has scratched together everything we have, including personal dollars into this year's car [into the thousands combined]. It is what it is and we have given it our all with what we have, and can say that without a guilty conscience. Unfortunately we cannot fund our team like others can, however we are very proud of what we have earned and put together, even though it seems to be viewed as sub-par.
Yes, we will be at Lincoln. I could provide a mileage book from this point on. It never crossed our mind to record mileage on the car, I am still unsure how that would improve the team/car with a car that has such a short life-span.
