Willows, CA – I picked up former WORKS employee Joey in San Francsico and we headed over to Bob’s Donuts for breakfast and a quick chat with Don before embarking on our long and arduous adventure. The paddock at Thunderhill was packed when we got there at 8 am, but there was activity everywhere as the teams hurried to get ready in the dim morning light.
WORKS had their Ralliart competing in its first endurance race, and they quickly found out that the front brakes were inadequate, as the pistons in the calipers melted, but after a quick swap they were back out on the track. Unfortunately the next problem wasn’t such an easy fix. Eight hours into the race, the radiator cap failed, leading to massive coolant loss, overheating, and a warped head, thus ending the race for WORKS. Always optimistic, WORKS president Pete Kang is already looking forward to the next endurance race.
