Harry did just that when he started from the back of the pack (Dan missed qualifying which put Harry near the back).  He had a nice run up the right side until a rookie hit him and sent him on a very long run through the grass in front of the starter stand.  Fortunately everything was fine and he came back on the track and did some of his best driving ever and may have set a new personal best.  Competing against the pro drivers he still kept Team Elam within one lap as he ran the long leg of the race.

When Dan's turn came he pushed down the track running down Cobras and in search of last year's class winner who he passed.  But then he was black flagged for the left muffler coming loose.  During the 25 Hours of Thunderhill we had used wire to hold the muffler up and when Dan came into the pits it was a mad dash to the trailer to get some wire.  Harry and Doug made repairs and got Dan back out.  Dan emerged on track right beside another Cobra - the class leader and then raced away trying to regain a little bit of time and see what we could do.  About a half hour from the end though, the car just cut off.  Most likely it was an electrical problem that caused the car to die.

So we did bring both cars back.  The Porsche will likely need a new engine the Cobra just needs a little TLC.  We drove well and the Cobra performed well, but that is about the extent of the silver lining.  It's six weeks until we go to Mid-Ohio.  Plenty of time to get things sorted and begin running up front again.

(BTW, we took very few pictures this weekend because of the schedule.  Virtually all of these pictures are courtesy of Finish Line Productions and Doug Lucy.  It was very nice of them to share them with us.)
