Went back out again but not any faster. Would be nice to find another .1 or .2 to be on the safe side.

95-Starr jumped over us by .02. Really need to find a little more SPEED. A tenth would do it!

even if he's starting first?? is it that much different from qualifying in the early teens at chicago.

Well so far this year it's true. Practice is not qualifying, just the order. Keep positive vibs maaaan.

Going out first might not be the worst thing in the world. Qualifying starts at 12:40pm, so the track will be getting hotter as the afternoon goes on. Going out early may be a benefit. Why do you think the 11 and 48 were at the bottom of the charts? Yes, they chose to work on race runs in first practice, but my suspicion is that they knew what they were doing when they made that choice.
