Saturday Evening News From The Pits
Bob Cook has had quite the opposite race when compared to Joliet. There, he was on top all weekend and without problems. Yesterday he suffered from a wheel stand that damaged his rack and pinion. Today, during his final qualifying round, Bob noticed the transmission felt funny. During the evening test session, the second gear went out on Bob. Luckily, it did not happen during eliminations so he had time to put a fresh one in.
Last night's engine woes for Conrad Scarry will not end. He was unable to run in the final qualifying round of Pro Outlaw 10.5 or the evening test session. The team is still battling wiring problems, in which they were blaming on... me.
That's it for Saturday, see you tomorrow!
