the new Schwanke Sealed Crate engine,a low rpm powerplant,and it took time to figure out the

gearing,timing in 34th out of 39 cars.In the semi,Mike was out front until a cut tire forced him

to the pits,ending up 12th.

 Tony took the 12 car(Pathfinder) to the track and had a 11.718 in time trials,had some bad luck

in the main's and finished 16th and 19th .The new RanderCar is getting finished,should be done

Mike times in 21st,turning an 11.716,and in the 30 lap semi charges towards the front

close to the 1-2 transfer spots but gets blocked for several laps and finally nudges

and Mike starts out beating dad in timing 11.506-11.523...good for 16th and 18th.

In the 60 lap main,Mike starts 16th and is on a mission,passing cars with his rev limiter

popping like cinema corn a brewing,and moves up to challenge for 8th when a plug wire melts

at the coil and 7 cylinders dropped him back to 10th at the finish.One word..FAST!

The 12 car was on a simular mission,passing several cars only to fade at the end to post

a 12th on the scoreboard,and a toasted rear end.
