Notes from the pits:
Andy Seuss“There were a lot of unknowns going into this race with a car that has not been really run in a while and a motor that has not been run at this level in a while. We had our fingers crossed and so far we are happy with it. The car is a little bit free but we are waiting for the rubber to get down and hopefully it will tighten it up. We do not want to get ahead of ourselves and tighten it up too much and then start back peddling. This rain will probably show that it is going to be free again. It does not give us a good chance to get the rubber down.”

“We are really excited that things have gone as well as they have so far with us kind of regrouping over the last few weeks and coming back with our own old car. With an old motor that has been touched by everybody. We are pretty exited with the results so far.”

Why type of motor is it?
“Motor was built by Joey Caraccia originally then Billy the Kid and then a man refreshed it in a Quonset Hut for $1,500 last time. Hopefully we will get him some success up in Loudon. It is a Chevy Motor, but when Billy had his hands on it, it had really good pieces. It has not been run in a while. We are happy that it is running as good as it is. It should not be really a surprise because those two guys build really good motors.”

Todd Szegedy “The car feels good. I wish that we could come here five times a year. Maybe that will change in the future.”
