Goodwin/Oliver TAFC

[DG]

Daniel just ran a career best 5.588 ET at 257.04 MPH in Randy Goodwin's car to take over the top spot briefly.

In the next pair Farro pushed him down a spot.

That's fantastic! Gotta root for our fellow Mater Randy and the team.

I keep telling RG to take the kids training wheels off and let him make a FULL blast.
Did the vinyl on the hood stay on............that's all I'm worried about

...well came close. 5.56 by O'Bannon. That was impressive considering the cold conditions. Looks like Alexis will race from the number 17 spot as Kenny Webster put it in the sand today.

We were scheduled to race against O'Bannon in the last session but decided to head back to the pits after the huge oildown in our (left) lane.

According to my temp gun the track temp dropped below 64 degrees during the cleanup (which started at 100 feet and went all the way past the finish line) so we took the advice of Jay Payne who was with us in the staging lanes and decided to go have dinner instead.

Thanks for the kuddo's. I hope we can go some rounds this weekend!

I am sure Jay Payne would love to have the decision to run on the cold track in Vegas as a do over. Glad you guys took his advice!

We shook our brains out first round against Moats and then discovered a broken main cap after the run. Tomoorow we will have a new bullet in the car.

Randy....Daniel is really impressing me as a driver. I was watching from the stands at 800' and clearly saw the shake at the top of first.....No sweat...he just peddled it a taste....shifted and still managed a .65 in the win.

Ya got yourself a good shoe there!

Good luck tomorrow!
