We just received this email from Sunny Leung from the Children's Hospital:

Dear all,

On behalf of BC Children's Hospital Foundation, I am extremely grateful for everything you all had done and accomplished this past weekend. I am totally speechless...I have been following your twitter postings over the weekend, and I was checking it every moment available. It was such a thrill to be able to receive updates from you all, and to experience the event live. Thank you for completing the race despite all the technical challenges. Hats off to everyone - drivers, crew members, advertising and PR specialists, and everyone who blogged and tweeted before and during the event! Great working with you all.

Great job everyone, and on behalf of the kids and families we serve, thank you for your support.

DAYTONA, FL—February 1, 2010— Bullet Racing of Vancouver, B.C. finished 20th overall and 13th in the GT class at the 48th running of the Rolex 24 at Daytona. The Maple Leaf-adorned No. 22 Porsche 911 GT3 Cup driven by the all-volunteer team of Ross Bentley, Kees Nierop, Darryl O’Young and Sean McIntosh took the checkered flag with Nierop behind the wheel.

“Taking the checkered flag is worth a 1,000 thank you’s,” said Nierop. “This race meant a lot to me; I was driving for former Manager of Motorsports Press of Porsche Cars North America Bob Carlson and my father. They were in the car with me and to be able to finish for them, to drive for the All-Canadian team and to drive for the B.C. Children’s Hospital, it was a very fulfilling finish.”

632 laps, 24 hours, and over $150k raised for Children's Hospital.

20th overall, 13th in class, with a brief glimpse of 5th place in class in the early morning hours.

Excellent drives by Ross, Kees, Sean, and Darryl.
