Mike I think the clutch might of cause some of the problems, qualified at the number 79 in position, ran a best of 11:27, last run 11:56 from a previous 11:51 and with a great 0.06 light the clutch probably went away after the second and third gear. My two cents. Still both cars should have been weight checked, mistake have been known to happen in the excitement. Just imagine if both would have been light by a pound, can happened when you remove oil here and water there or even a bathroom break.lol CR
