For Dan and Harry the weekend was a little different.  Dan qualified with a fast time, but a stalled Viper Competition Coupe at the standing start left him in a bad position and in third position for the first lap - and the rest of the race - as he was unable to quite close the gap with the front-runners.  Harry continued to pick up the pace, but the leader had a minor slide and ended up causing some minor damage to the shiny new paint.  Still, the lap times were plenty fast.

With Bobbie out for Sunday, Harry and Dan focused on their final race before the upcoming National championships.  This time, Dan had a strong start and was the overall leader for the first laps before the Viper caught him.  Harry had a great start and was within striking distance of the leaders as well.  Dan was running first in class and second overall when the third-place car passed him and a Mustang under yellow.  Not wanting to be DQ'd himself, Dan stayed behind the Mustang, but the fourth place car smashed him from behind.  Dan limped across the finish line in third overall, but it isn't clear at this time what the official finishing order would be.  Depending on what the official decide, Harry will finish second or third in class for his strongest finish in four years.

Tough weekend of racing.  Back to engine work and fiberglass repair.  Siiiigh.  Seems like the rewards for good driving should be something a little different.
