"I bumped up from the B-main by lapping much of the feild. In the A-main, I had a horrible start (hit every car that was up side down for the 1st 3 minutes). I came back and caught and passed Scott Huges for 2nd place, but on the last lap slowed down to protect 2nd place and flipped.
Note to self: Never slow down on a bumpy track, it throws off your timing.
My Engine temped at 197' at the end of the main. I was getting about 7:50 run time. I should have been battling Cavalieri for 1st, but there was a miscomunication with my pit men and they made me pit an extra time. My engine was the best performing engine I have ever run. Lots of bottom end, sick mid, and stupid fast down the straight."
