Before practice, McMahan had told us he never jets below 360-370 and that he'd already melted down quite a few times. This is way richer than our 493 ran. Of course, I don't know his carb set-up or if he has the wonderful Hulings pipe that we run. With the exception of high water temps limiting our RPM's and the small fact that we lost our entire diffuser and rear bodywork early in qualifying, we ran great. Well, finally losing the battle with a rear brake grabbing (we may have developed suspension damage from the qualifying incident) in Canada didn't help either. But, the engine ran great for 7-8 laps until it ingested the pea gravel. Charlie

Wiley went out after the first lap with a blown engine(2nd for the weekend). Mike said that he could pull Wiley on the straights. Don't know if that was because of a bad engine (493) or just the failure of that engine with the extra 50# to be as fast as a 494 :-). Don't know for a fact the rest of the field's finishing positions so I'll leave that to someone else.
