Race Report #2 - 4:30 p.m.

At 3 p.m., the No. 75 was currently running first position in GT class with Lonnie Pechnik behind the wheel. A lot of debris on the track at end of Pechnik's stint caused a flat and some rear body damage. He brought the Porsche into the pit for an unscheduled stop around 3:15 p.m. under full course yellow. The crew replaced the left rear tire and Seth Neiman took over driving duties.

After the first lap of Neiman's stint, he brought the car in (still under yellow) for a full tire change and fuel. During the pit stop, he lost the right side mirror. The crew brought Neiman in for a third stop and the crew replaced the right door.

The crew sent Neiman out under the same yellow and on his out lap, Neiman was hit by another GT car.

The crew replaced right front suspension, brake pads and rotors. The car had to serve a 13 minute penalty due to the crew working on the Porsche in the pit longer than five minutes.

While waiting to go back on track, a water leak was discovered. After the penalty was served, the crew took the car back to the garage to further work on the car.

After approximately an hour in the pits and garage combined with the 13 minute penalty, the No. 75 Flying Lizard Porsche is currently running 27th in GT class and 54th overall.
