| “This airplane is certainly down on horsepower. It’s slow for some reason. The Extra was very competitive last year but this year it’s not. I don’t know what it is with the airplane. We’re trying everything we can. If you got a slow horse out of the start gate it’s really hard to fix it mid-stream. We’re not really sure what’s up. The same line on the track as the fastest guy and we’re still three seconds per lap slower. We’re not sure where it really is. We thought there might be a problem with the wind but there wasn’t really." |
“I expected to be last today but I had a better time than yesterday and my best time of the week. The time was good, but the position wasn’t good. I think I was about four seconds faster than yesterday and two seconds better than the week’s best. But that’s still five seconds too slow. The flying conditions were very good, it wasn’t very windy, not too hot, and not bumpy.” |
