Can you believe it? Flogging mercilessly on a cheap-ass race car can lead to mechanical woes! According to UDMan:
Well, all the entries are still on the track, and we are in hour 4. However, there have been some close calls. Team Pro-Crass-Duh-Nation (an Alfa Romeo) was black flagged because the Battery was on FIRE. The Track Fire Department had to put it out, and the team had a spare battery, and they are now back on the track. However, Team Chard Beef Racing is now in the middle of changing out a rear end. They had a spare on their trailer, and within ½ hour are almost ready to go back onto the track.
