24 Hour Longest Night
Moroso Motor Sports Park
West Palm Beach, Florida
December 28-30, 2001
Qualifying: 1st in class, 3rd overall
Finish: 5th in class, 8th overall.
The #47 SRF was piloted by Kenny Reilly (owner), John Stott, and two
other guys in this 24-hour race. After an impressive qualifying effort,
the team lost a number of laps during hour 6 after an minor "derrangement"
of the front end of the car. (Reilly had mild contact with a competitor,
then tested the forgiveness of a tire wall.) Due to the long pit stop required
to re-arrange the nose, the 47 fell a number of laps behind the leader.
In spite of this challenge, the drivers made a valiant effort to make up
the lost laps, and finished in an admirable position.
Finishing at all in a 24-hour race is a commendable feat, and we're very proud
of our drivers – Reilly and Stott – our "guest drivers", our crew chief Collins,
crew Mallory and the other people that participated on the crew for this event.
