Freddy had a hard day yesterday. He entered the day 4th overall and was in 2nd overall after the morning's speed sections. Unfortunately he broke a valve spring and rocker arm during the last section. A repair was attempted during the service break but there was too much damage and too many unknowns to risk the motor so he is out of the race. A real bummer because with his speed and the expert driving of Tom Silver and Gerry Bledsoe we had a real shot at winning the race. Thats all part of the game and sometimes stuff happens.
Besty continues to run strong in the Historic C class and has a chance at placing. Marty and Dick further solidified their position yesterday in the Original PanAm.
The picture of the bent up car is of the Jaguar that barrel rolled down the mountian on Monday. The roll cage was demolished during impact. The driver is ok but the co-pilot is still in serious condition. They do not think he has brain damage but he is under sedation for the next week in order to control brain swelling.
