Aug 3-4 - Jim Patelli takes 2nd at the SNORE Midnight Special
Jim Patelli set fast lap for Class 8, and had the seventh fastest lap
time overall at the SNORE Midnight Special. His average speed for his
fastest lap was a blistering 52.3 mph as he covered 42 miles in 48.16
minutes. His co-driver, Joe Patelli, had an unfortunate encounter with a
rock as it penetrated his helmet and hit him in the eye causing an unscheduled
driver change. (Hope you're okay, Joe.) Jim was leading 12 miles
from the finish when his center link broke, costing them 40-minutes of down
time. Congratulations to Jim and his team on a great showing. The
class win went to Eric Heiden.
