mike, I qualified 2nd in the bmain. I had a rough 1st and 2nd round qualifying because I was having brake issues. 3rd qual was a solid run though, even though I had zero rear brakes .
During the main I had some motor issues after a wreck early (not sure what happend, but the engine stopped responding to throttle input, maybe binding issues, for a few seconds) which put me the last spot. Happened a second time after my pit stop. Came out of the pits quick, rounded the corner for the tripple and it just stopped. The marshalled picked it up and stated walking it back to the pits and it magically started working again, lol, so the marshalled put me back down and I took off.
Even with all those problems, I ended up fighting my back up to 4th.
