Heard that Cornell finished endurance, but that there were maybe a few other cars that were faster.
Top 5 results:
A&M- OUT
Cornell- Finished
RMIT- OUT
UTA- OUT, oil leak again.
UW- Fast time of the day by Denny, then Mike T topped it. SVSU did better than that later.
Bummer... UTA deserves a good finish in Detroit.

Does anyone have any pictures of the autocross or endurance track map?
texas A&M broke the inboard hiem on thier right rear pull-rod, it looked like. i heard someone on the team say that, after analyzing the failure, it was fatigue, not anything sudden. i think it was a 1/4 hiem.
UTA was leaking oil out of the rubber plug around the engine's wheel speed sensor wires. aperently, they rubber just got loose and crapped out.
RMIT had a cotter pin fall out of their rear spindle. the bolt didn't comeoff, but the wheel was loose.
if anyone has better details, feel free to correct me...

I've done the best I could today taking notes, I could be wrong about a lot of this, the times are not official, some of this may change but here we go....
This is mostly in Chronological order.
The first part of the endurance racing was by far the most exciting racing I have ever seen. So much action and passing. The teams were a few laps in when I started watching.
RMIT passes Cornell and blows them away
Denny sets fastest with a 64.4
UTA gains on Cornell
UTA hits 64.0
4 cars in the driver change at the same time. Texas A&M in first followed by RMIT. RMIT out first.
Denny hits 64.2
Texas A&M blows by RMIT
UTA is in the driver change for a LONG time.
UTA DNF
Denny hits 63.4
Cornell passes RMIT and Texas A&M at the same time. In the passing lane RMIT nearly rear end Texas A&M because something happened to the Aggie car. I asked the RMIT driver if they ran into them and he said "NEARLY!"
RMIT passes Texas A&M
Texas A&M is held when they get around to the timing booths.
Texas A&M DNF
RMIT is held at the timing booth a lap or two later. Judges poor over the car.
RMIT DNF
I guess they had a bad wheel bearing (Left rear). The cotter pin may have backed out and the wheel nut came loose. Not entirely sure.

UW second driver (Mike T) passes UMR and hits 61.86 second lap the fastest so far (probably by a lot)

Matt,
That was supposed to be a picture of Billy's wicked sunburn. I didn't mean for it to go on – kind of weird isn't it.
Thanks for the updates, James. You kick ass. Wish I could be there!
My last batch of photos are up...

...they're all max res (1600x1200) and start at image number 1742.
Things worked out pretty good for my team, we finished enduro and won cost, both keeping with the KISS philosophy and reliability we were after. Its not like our B&S vtwin was going to start spitting coolant halfway through the enduro.
Land and Sea tells us we made 16 rwhp! Our accel time/weight calculation tells us its closer to 23. Either number is obviously not all that impressive, nor what the motor is supposed to be making from our builder. We're working on a MS'nS system to swap on in the next month for the rest of the summer.

Thanks to everybody keeping us on the other side of the world up to date.
Off topic:
IMO:
A lower cost car comes from clever thinking. Carbon fibre is expensive to buy, but cheap in the cost report (moulds don't cost, man hours less)
Ask yourself questions: Can this be cast? is it better to CNC with less time or hand make it which is cheaper but takes longer?
