Divebombers Racing MR2: 2021 Lucky Dog 1000 Miles of Thunderhill (Full Race)

See description below for chapter timestamps. Epic battles and radiator woes for the trusty Divebombers Racing MR2 at the 2021 Lucky Dog enduro at Thunderhill! Driven by Svilen Kanev (team captain), Sonny Rao, and Mark Gottscho, with Kalin Kanev joining our crew! We started P20 and made it up to P6 by the first pit stop. Unfortunately, a radiator puncture at the end of the first stint on Saturday became evident in the start of Svilen's stint. The cooling system failed and we had to be towed back for repairs which took the rest of the day and dropped us down to 89th (essentially last). We lost more than five hours due to this. On Sunday, with the car fixed, we were able to make it to the checkered flag, somehow recovering to finish P71. We had many fun battles, a couple of bent wheels, a spin, an exploding mirror, and sadly, lots of caution and red flag time. Our fastest lap of the race was a 3:22:1 (might be the only lap without traffic). All in all, an awesome fun weekend with the team. Looking forward to the next race! Thank you Svilen, our team captain and car owner!
