car changed failed feeling fixed last motor power problem qualify ran run sure team weeks work
We changed motors for the last run. It was the motor we had in for our first run and there was a little problem then. We fixed that and the car ran well. This is sure a lot better feeling than we had two weeks ago (when the team failed to qualify at Memphis). Having more power sure makes the car work better.
car chance changed last plan ran run until work year
We are going to give our new car another chance this weekend. We haven't been able to get it to run in the first 60 feet. We've changed just about everything. We do have a plan B, and that's to go back to the Cobalt we ran most of last year if things don't get better. We'll work until we get this straightened out.

car front full grabbed impact pass sent tire wall
It was just one of those things. When the tire grabbed it sent him into the wall at about a 45-degree angle. The impact tore up the front end pretty good. We hadn't made a full pass on the car yet. We were just working on the car.
car front jerry shop wrong
I'm going to take this car to (builder) Jerry Haas' shop (near St. Louis) and go through it from the front end to the wheelie bars. There's something wrong in the car. It never does the same thing twice.

drive help issues knowledge method prefer recovery
We don't actually want any supplier recovery because we prefer not to have any warranty claims. But where we have issues with suppliers, we want them to know about them and to use that knowledge as a method to help them drive their processes.

We are very fortunate to have an owner like Evan Knoll, who wants us to be competitive and gives us the opportunity to test when needed.
