The car was not handling the way he wanted it. Last minute tire change from Bridgestone to Michelin for the 200 rule and not enough time to dial it in. With a day or two of tuning, Mike would have taken at least 2 - 3 seconds off his lap times. If he goes next year, watch out!

I was wondering about that Brian. Reminds me of when I went from R888's to KDW's! Car needed some serious tweaking. I remember thinking something was wrong with the car the first time out.

Please do not take this comment as being critical --- because there's no way an ordinary driver could have kept such a loose car on the track...

But I've been slapped upside the helmet for "sawing" the wheel like that!

Big Horsey power and skinny STREET tires ain't for me.... I'd have spun 5 times! LOL

Cole Trickle: Whoa. Her ass is all over the place.
Harry Hogge: When the rear end's loose, the car's fast. Loose is fast, and on the edge of out of control.
