Just talked with Dave Weiman and Mike Halley. Here are raw notes.

Lauchlin is leading Nielsen in G2

Halley ahead of Hamilton 4:20

Shepherd stuck for like 25 minutes.

Hintz 3 min road points

Seamus leading Group N
O'Neil 2nd in N

(Jeff's story http://www.specialstage.com/view.asp?StoryID=55 shows O'Neill ahead of Burke)

Lovell is out last stage last night, maybe engine. New engine is supposed to be coming in today. Will they try running it?

Lloyd out last night too

G5 order: Olson/Ketelson , Hintz/Hintz

Mark Higgins over David
Thumper third, four minutes behind

Henderson/ PGT one other PGT car running

Back on course 1:30

Hamilton crews didn't torque one of the wheels, out in the woods right now looking for wheel and tire

Weather: not too much rain today, predicted high of 60 F. It's quit raining.

Mike: Best 50 bucks I ever spent. Bought some used Silverstone from Lurch and grooved them. Saved my bacon. Otherwise I'd be on tires I ran at STPR and Cherokee.

[Mad Mike]

One quick note - Jamie Thomas is in second and having a great drive. Hamilton's mechanical woes has him about 20 minutes back of us. We have about a minute on the Henderson WRX ...

WHOOMAH!!!
