Englishtown delivered everything LZWT is supposed to be, and then some. Five Tire Streets partners made the Top 16, Chelsea DeNofa and Adam LZ took the top two steps of the podium, and the 651 Sport Pro made its world debut in front of thousands of fans.
In between, Rich Whiteman fought through the entire Bottom 16 only for his engine to blow on lap one of the Top 16. A 60-year-old track owner went door-to-door with FD pros and made it through. A Ferrari broke down, a $3K Honda Odyssey took its place, drifted into the stadium, hit a wall, and set off every airbag.
Weather didn't stop it. Nothing did.
