A little over four hours into the Iowa race and our car is running well. No serious problems, but some minor ones. The transmission keeps popping out of 3rd gear, so we're driving mostly in 4th and 5th. Top speed is over 100 mph on the back straight just before turning into the infield.
So far the driver lineup has been Darrell, John, Tim and Greg, with Mitch and Jesse yet to drive. When John was driving, the ignition switch got stuck in the START position and the starter was burned out. He lost several laps when he spun and stalled the car. We now have to push the car to get it to start when leaving the pits. The team has decided to steal the starter out of Tim's street 900 and replace it during the one hour Safety Break at 7pm.
We are currently in 7th place. Greg set the fast time for the team, within the top five overall.
