GHiT 0294:\xa0 ChrisFix - Endurance Racer

Most of you will know ChrisFix from his YouTube channel or from his presence on social media.\xa0 We have been subscribers to his YouTube channel prior to even trying our hand at racing.\xa0 Then last year, we were one of the first to see his video drop on his teams upcoming endurance racing adventure with the 24 Hours of Lemons team and it even happened to be at a race we were already registered for at NJMP Thunderbolt.\xa0 In this episode, we take way too much of Mr. Fix's time and cover his history and how his channel started and progressed.\xa0 We then cover the teams preparation and their race at NJMP.\xa0 As with all first time endurance racing teams, the first race has various highs and lows, and tons of surprises.\xa0 The preview to the NJMP race video has been released and the video detailing the race at NJMP will be released any day now.\xa0 Without giving away any spoilers, we are very happy to say that the ChrisFix team fully embraced the spirit of endurance racing and were a great group to race with and call friends.\xa0 We hope to see them all again on track soon!
