So you guys are gonna hear about it sooner or later, we failed tech. With all the scrambling to get another car ready after the Road America debacle, a mistake was made and the fuel cell was over capacity, these cars come with oversize cells and you add " bricks" to take up room in the cell. A miscalculation did us in. Sadly, we had no idea we were over capacity and were in fuel save mode after the drive through penalty.
I feel bad for the kid and Billy.
I thought the monkey was finally off our back, but I guess not

IMSA giving the Mustangs some BOP love or what? That's by far the best result these cars have had for a couple of years. Before the penalty they were 1-2-3.
Usually it's one of the panzer cars from the other side of the pond that does the winning.

Edit: Just read the race report, looks like it was a fuel economy thing at the end that took out the panzer car that was leading.

No, no change in the BoP, just strategy and a couple of breaks
