Wednesday Open: Daytona
- Mike- p 15- had some lucky breaks in missed a lot of Rex throughout the race I was leading the Outside lane P2 on the green white checkered, and the guy behind me going down the backstreet try to shove it in the middle and turn my ass.
- David – p. 9 was leading outside, got hung out by a guy who thought I was going to the inside, he showed me his cockpit view, and how it basically looked to him like i did, even though the overhead looked like i didn’t. So a little deflated but at least in contention.
- Justin – p10, stay clean the first half got caught up in a mess. 3 min of damage took about 10 to go to get back to normal just took advantage of some check ups on the green white checkered managed a 10p i couldn’t complain still plussed up for the night/
