Thought this could be a difficult day, but . . .

[The Counterfeiter]

Not this bad! Have to feel for the teams, fans and especially the Safety Safari. And, audiocast goes down just before Wilk and TPed try to break into the field after several top teams DNQ. On the bright side, a great run by Team Zizzo in Q4!

 

[Buns]

Yeah, there are going to be some tired teams in the morning.

 

[Ken]

I was impressed with Grubby's Q4 pass. Conrad has been showing a lot of consistency in his tuning this year. Ken

I've seen some Major oil downs in my days, but Today had to be a record! I don't think I have ever seen 3 in a row lasting an Hour and a Half! When Morgan Lucas killed the track in the 2nd session, I was done! I left...

Yesterday was the longest day I have had at the track in a while. I hung in there til Diehl's deal ... then it was time to go.

PS glad Jeff is OK. Matt Smith too ...

 

[HEMI6point1]

Did Matt Smith crash too? Glad he's alright.

 

[Von Halen]

I thought going to 1000' was supposed to help with the oildown and parts usage problem too...

The brake lever fell off and went in the sand.

The fall weather always leads to boomers....

 

[wilbur]

espn said Matts team found a brake pad laying on the track, if it was a pad and a brake lever, they better put some threads on their fasteners. Mike.

 

[d'kid]

4 and a half hours to run 2 rounds... not calling them pipe-racks anymore... they are now called oil derricks...

ESPN 3 coverage is pretty good....

[Silly Savage]

The brake lever fell off and went in the sand.

Brake pads fell out upon the launch...not the lever.

I am repeating what Matt said on audiocast.

We had what we thought would be a 4.12 or 4.11 tune up in it, but it had to much wheel speed to early. It felt pretty neat to have Tobler and Beckman come up and say take it easy on us.
