We had our issues at Pitt Race 2019

We reviewed our first race of the year at Pitt Race with the 24 Hours of Lemons series.  We had some issues during the weekend that prevented us recording at the track so we went into some detail during this race review.

We also tried cover how we ran the race and our thought process, post race diagnosis and plans and we ended with our segment on The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly, along with the highlight of the weekend, as well as things we learned and changes to continue to improve.

As a special bonus from our website, here is an example on how now to talk your way out of a Black Flag penalty. The video started after our “Tony Stark” had begun with offering to buy the entire 24 Hours of Lemons Racing Series and/or the Pitt Race venue itself to be able to exactly define what is the track, as any billionaire would.
