    Yes its like that for most of the race, Rough as bags one moment, millpond the next. Motors are hammered for the whole 24 hours. Driver changes every two hours. No other race like it. You have to start & finish with the same powerhead. In some years drivers have started with 6 pistons & over the 24 hours have had damaged pistons removed. I believe one 6 cylinder had only 2 pistons left in the motor at the end. The rest had been removed but the motor was still running. It's one helluva race. Don't miss it. I think there is a video link to computer. I will try & find out. 300,000 spectators last year. E-Tecs caused some major red faces in the Merc corporate tent. They hopefully will this year too.
