The decision was made about 1 am this morning to call it off. Looking back over the last weeks, I can hardly believe what we've been able to accomplish, yet it wasn't enough. It seems like every part of the build experienced delays due to suppliers sending parts late, getting the wrong parts, or damaged parts. Every day was a roller coaster ride for me: we're going to make it, we're not going to make it, we're going to make it, we're not going to make it. We'd complete something and feel elated over the success, only to find that something else went wrong.
I know that even though we aren't going to Daytona we will show up at Barber with an excellent car. It's beautiful on the inside and out. I also know we gave it everything we had and left nothing in reserve, and with the help of many friends and crew almost made it. You know who you are but I have to say THANKS anyway— Mark, Boli, Kike, Ron, Toby, John, Paul at Nissan, the Pfadt gang, and my boys for putting up with having an overworked, never home mom for the last weeks—we couldn't do it without you all!! And thanks mostly to Vesko who truly is an artist and who has gone without sleep for a record amount of time—I couldn't ask for a better partner in this venture.
Here's to Alabama!

That is a bummer. Sorry for that. It wasnt for lack of trying thats for sure.
I was thinking of you, while making my list of people to thank, but left you off. Sorry! Hopefully I didn't forget anyone else.
