[Fot] 24 hours in a TR

[Jamie Palmer]

Ok, looked up the results on MyLaps.  We covered 1597.5 miles in that
25/25/25.  Considering that included 41 minutes off track for a
RR halfshaft/trailing arm/brake replacement and an separate steering rack
replacement, as well as some reduced lap speeds for downpours and some broken
wheel studs (and one broken wheel), that wasn't too bad for a TR6 crap-can
racer!
