2012 La Carrera Panamericana: El Jefe 2nd in Class on Day 4
We are all very excited that El Jefe ran 2nd in class on Day 4 and just 3.2 seconds behind the Turismo Producion daily leaders (Albrecht Haase)! I talked to both Geezer and Stewie last night and Geezer said Stewie did an amazing job, was fast and had a great flow on the last two Mil Cumbres speed sections.
Today they will run Mil Cumbres again on their way out of town, and on their way to Guanajuato.
As I mentioned yesterday, Gerie & El Fer in the Durango Deuce lost brakes and ran over/into a small wall. El Fer texted me, "Downhill right 3 - no brakes. Gerie....he's immortal. Feeling like a teenager."
They are okay; the car is not. According to Lauren Scheller's blog, they had to pay 350 pesos to repair the wall, which sounds like a good deal!
Here is a note from Doug Mockett at the end of Day 4:
Linda and Stewart Robertson in their purple Studebaker continue to move up. Turismo Producion is a tough class! They are currently 9th overall and 6th in class.
The carnage of Paul Hladky's Studebaker - but he is still running! Go Paul!
Today they will run Mil Cumbres again on their way out of town, and on their way to Guanajuato.
