I just talked to Sean. For those that heard, earlier today Harri broke two Control Arms on the left front and left rear today in Denver Colorado at Nopi. He needed to qualify today to go to Competition tommorrow. Well, long story short, he got it done and qualified 5th. Also, Chelsea qualified. I dont know much else, lets post anymore news that comes up here.

Actually qualified 5th place considering with only 1 practice run I think it was really good, everyone else got two 45 min run sections so something like 12-15 runs before qualifying.

Update: Sunday 6/24/07 12:20PM(PST)



Track conditions changed significantly from late in the day saturday night until the cool sunday morning, and drivers were re-adjusting in the morning practice.

Top 20 drivers were invited to practice tandem. Stuart Leask (who qualified 17th) and tagged the wall, breaking his intercooler. Lance Feliciano broke his transmission during practice, but has fixed it for Top 16. Ron Eworth blew his motor, and oiled down the track. Several drivers worked with stuart to fix his car in time for the Top 16, and he will take Eworth's place for tandem. Eworth earns points for qualifying, and Stuart is not eligible for points, but will win any cash from a high placement.

We are on to Top 16 driver intros, tandem coming soon

And out of those 3 states, which one is the state plagued with less-than-desirable venues where we make the best out of it anyways? :bigthumbu
