Had to run the B after a bad heat. Won the B-Feature and started 17th in the

to 6th before half-way. Our night ended when the 66 car hit a big white tire

Was taken out in the heat race. Started 16th and survived some spinning cars.
We have a problem with the rear end breaking loose from middle of the
corner and out whenever the steering is turned to the left. Once we get that
fixed, we should have some good finishes.

Our first time at Harlan. Led most of the heat, but finished 2nd. Car was
loose from mid corner through exit. Made some adjustments for the A and the
car was much better in the middle of the corner, but still loose off. Was up to
8th early, but lost numerous spots on three occasions when we slowed to miss
spinning cars that did not cause yellow flags. Had a top 7 car.
