Diniz / Aranha win enduro at NPR

For the third consecutive year, we have won the Grand Bayou 90 min. Enduro at No Problem Raceway.
It was our shake-down run since we put the car back together after the new cage install.
Even though we started last (by choice, we had the pole), Jason was in the lead overall by the 2nd lap. We Jason came in at mid-point, we were a lap ahead of the field. I then drove the second half also putting another lap over the field and 2nd place finisher Porsche 911.
The car was great, still need to tweek a few more suspention items.
All in all, we had a great time.
Regards,
Steve

I'd take care with those thumbs up. I hear they mean something else entirely around other sections on this forum.

Congrats, Steve.

Hi Greg,
Sorry guys, been swamped with work and large projects.
Still working on suspention changes, hopefully improvements.
Missed the last BMWCCA race at MSR due to work, will try and make TWS in June and then O'Fest at MSR in September.
Regards to all, hurry up and finish your car Greg before you get to be my age.
Steve
