Johnny Vincent’s TP52, Pace finished a highly eventful race at 15:04, just 18 minutes behind fellow TP52, Lucky. Pace was also struck by lightening, frying some of the electronics on board and the wind instruments and they had a see-saw battle with TP52 Lucky that saw the lead change several times.
“A couple of calls didn’t go our way and in the end that cost us.” Admitted Pace navigator, Mike Broughton, but all credit to Lucky, they gave us a good race and were worthy victors.” Johnny Vincent echoed the sentiment by walking over to Lucky immediately after tying up to congratulate Byron Ehrhart.
