On hour 2 we were running strong, clawing from 110th place
On hour 11 we were chewing up the competition. There was no stopping us as we shot up to 45th place.
On hour 13 (go figure) we were leading a huge trail of steam with the engine boiling over. It looked like our day was done.
On hour 17 two of us were trying a last-ditch attempt to get back on track while the rest of the team slept.
On hour 20 Alex pulled a needle in a hay sack and found us a water pump 30 minutes away.
On hour 23 we went back out on the track.
On hour 23 and 5 minutes we were back in the paddock
On hour 23 and 55 minutes we were back on the track, passing people like they were standing still.
At the 24 hour mark we flew under the checkered flag with what was left of the field, and officially ended Barbie's first 24 hour lemon experience.
Update: We finished 81st of 136 challengers. Sorry for the oversight in not mentioning it earlier :)
Thank you all for your attention these past couple of days. When we've had a moment to recover, we'll be updating this page with some photo albums and such.
Happy Motoring!
