NASA 25hr 2011 – Boothman Racing retires

We retired from the race 18hrs in out of 25hrs. We ran 464 laps, 12th in ES class, 44th overall with the fastest lap of 1:55.833. The team performed phenomenal in such a grueling race having countless flawless pitstops, changing the clutch within one hour. The drivers drove fast, smart, and consistent lap times throughout the day/night proving FFR#85 is a force to be reckoned with.
