Had a great weekend at a week ago. After most of the season plagued with clutch problems we were finally able to overcome that issue and started to see the true potential of all the work we have put into the car over the past year. The car ran over 2 seconds a lap faster there than it ever has before and put us within a few seconds of the front runners. Ended up qualifying strong with p4 and then ran strong race holding a 3rd place finish with the extremely fast first and second place cars still within reach crossing the checkered flag. Then by default took first place because of flag violations during the race to the p1 and p2 cars. Ran a strong race again in the second race with a p3 finish and then was running a strong 3rd race in p3 with p1 and p2 close in my sights until the motor started loosing power and lap times started falling off. Was able to hold onto a strong 5th place finish with the motor coming apart going across the checker. We will get another motor in the car for the championship race at Road Atlanta in a few weeks and will hopefully pick up the 30 or so horsepower we have been shy in the process.
