+seekerfamily Posted May 25, 2009 Posted May 25, 2009 Our unofficial Coke 600. We completed 600+ miles on Sunday. Race started around 11 am and off to a good start(had to get a few Tennessee caches). We must have had car #18 because we were drinking Coke to stay awake and eating 2 bags of m&ms on our drive home from GWS7. First pitstop to get some caches in Alabama - a new state for us and then back on the track/road. An hour later we saw a red flag thrown but it was on the other side of the track/highway. Accident had cars detouring off the highway and an eight mile backup. Glad we were going the opposite way. Second pit stop when we hit Georgia and then we were off again. Another pit stop near Atlanta for a refuelling of the drivers and the car and off again. Made good time the rest of the way with only two cautions for weather and road work. A few more pitstops - had to get a few caches in each state we drove through and one more refuelling and we made it to the finish line. Got our Coke 600+ finished and in only 11+ hours. Lets see how the professionals do tomorrow. Seekerfamily

+GATOULIS Posted May 25, 2009 Posted May 25, 2009 Welcome back my friend!!! Hmm... in what place is my driver??? HUH! What I m asking.... he is probably in the last places once again! I do not know why, no matter who I will pick, he is not in the first 5 places for sure! I am desroying carreers!!!
+LadyBee4T Posted May 25, 2009 Posted May 25, 2009 Welcome back my friend!!! Hmm... in what place is my driver??? HUH! What I m asking.... he is probably in the last places once again! I do not know why, no matter who I will pick, he is not in the first 5 places for sure! I am desroying carreers!!! Today its the rain and not your bad karma!! Kurt Busch is in 37 place. For about the last 1.5 hours its been a rain delay and has been several times this afternoon. #00 David Reutimann is currently the leader but my guy #39 Ryan Newman is in second. What I hope is that they go out again and Newman takes first and then they call the race!! The radar doesn't look good for a restart at this point though. Reutimann and Newman made a tactical move and didn't pit betting that it would rain when most of the others pitted so they came to the front of the pack. The rain is picking up now too.....
+LadyBee4T Posted May 25, 2009 Posted May 25, 2009 Race has just been called and Reutimann is the winner.....
+opalsns Posted May 25, 2009 Author Posted May 25, 2009 Hey LB4T, Newman 2nd!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Not too shabby! Opalsns
+LadyBee4T Posted May 26, 2009 Posted May 26, 2009 Hey LB4T, Newman 2nd!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Not too shabby! Opalsns YEP!! Not pitting was a good move--to win ya gotta a take a few chances!!!!
