Excitement Continues: COOLANT CRISIS


During the big pit stop we had an unexpected problem: our radiator hose was spurting out coolant. That is a race killer if it can not be stopped. We scrambled looking for any kind of hose or pipe to fix it with. We checked everything short of the plumbing in the bathroom. In the end the best we could do was to duct tape it and send it back out. We now see how long it holds. Steve is now in the car.

Tell me what place you are in? What does each person do during the pit stops? - Mattias

My hands are fine today, It was cold yesterday so it was tough to type, but it is much warmer today so I type just fine. If you meant how do I type while I drive, I am not driving, I am just here helping in the pits and posting these messages.

All hail, the mighty duct tape! Hope it continues to hold up. Clamps are a good back up...seems my dad used one or the other on a majority of his fix-it jobs! Keep on keepin' on, Team Johansson!
