Well...Another Top Ten.... Not the best performance but car was fighting me all day. Had caster issues during practice, thought I had fixed it for the feature but still wandering down the straights. Also car overheated after the 2nd round of practice so I made the decision to forgo the Heats and let it cool some more. After re-filling and bleeding and changing the radiator cap out to a higher rated one it seemed to be fine. Temps in the 190 range after the feature....more

Car was better with the caster issue fixed. No more wandering in the straights. Avoided an early wreck in the feature but lost LR tire pressure after the 3rd lap and the car became real choppy. Improving week by week in what has been a pretty lousy season. Back at it in two weeks at Wall!
