Well, the car made it back in one piece, and they did finish! (I hate to say it, but they were just beat out in the final standings by a, are you ready for this?, a VW Beatle Turbo Diesel!!!!)
The guys had fun, but they missed one race track and one check point, otherwise they would have beat the VW. Only one speeding ticket, from NY's finest. Each driver took a turn going backwards (spin-out) at some point in their week of fun. Lots of other funny and interesting moments, maybe they will post a few themselves.
