Got back from iowa a while ago. Our motor threw a rod 30 mins into the race. Swapped in the spare motor (4 hours flat, out and in, new one buttoned up), but refused to start, and then for some odd reason we were getting all kinds of phantom electrical issues.

Matt's team went most of the day, but I think had transmission/overheating issues and ended up calling it quits as well. Maybe he can elaborate? Thus is racing, I guess.
