Going into the start of the endurance test it seemed a long awaited =
beating was in store for him.
Of the 35 or so cars set to perform,

Starting next to me on driver's right was my Barracuda Brother in =

It would soon appear that the astounding speed and hope and the =

I got a great start and had the Barracuda in tow.
By the end of lap one, I had moved up to flirt with the top 5.
Brian passed me and I was cool to pester him from behind.
That's like watching screaming children being tossed between the =
coachwork panels of a Bus as the driver floors it through a parking lot =
autocross track.
Our David and Goliath battle lasted all too briefly as my =
differential exploded inside its case and I was out..
Shortly after, the Cuda was also out with a broken water pump and a =

Somewhere in the meantime, Scott Barr managed to scrape the side of =
his car along the asphalt in a, rather lucky to not completely roll =
over, shearing of the axle. He found out with early Halloween horror =
that the car cannot go through the carousel with only 3 wheels.=20
The first 40 minute segment ended and it seemed that Sean may have =
his chance to take the pot.
Due to typical attrition, by this time the field was less than half =
of the original starters.
Sean, Tony, and still hanging in there...Glade Snodgrass; were the =
Triumphs that remained for the race to the Checkered.
In front for most of the race was Alexander.
But not at the end.
A broken transmission... gear chipped away his hope of beating the =
big guy.
Tony was the only Triumph left at the flag fall.
Again he walks his car back to Moline as the Top Dog of the season =
for our group of Midwest FOT Heroes.
