Three of us headed to the ARCA race at Berlin Raceway in Marne Michigan this past Saturday to give the #24 of Mike Harmon a helping hand. It was a long day for us as we didn't stay overnight.
The 24 car didn't get a chance to practice very much due to a throwout bearing failure that took most of practice to replace. We did get a chance to make some adjustments, but just didn't have a chance to get the car where it needed to be. Mike went out and qualified 19th.
Kevin was destined to be spotter for this event and did a fine job by all accounts. Mike asked him to talk slower once or twice(guess that 'accent' issue goes both ways!) but was happy overall. The car got 'doinked' in the Left Rear during an accordian deal but was in good shape otherwise, finishing in 18th.
At the end of the night, Mike stated it was not the worst car he's driven, but it certainly wasn't good, and wished he could have turned more practice laps. Our understanding is he's off to Pocono for next week-end and we wish the team good luck, maybe some of us will make it to that race as well......
