At this point, things got even more exciting! Right after this photo, the pace cars led the cars off, and 61 stalled and would not start. As Dean was coming up the stairs, Brian was running down, and I was following him because I said I would help this weekend, and let’s face it – I like to be where the action is. The next thing you know, he’s jogging across the pit lane out toward the car, which is now being pushed by two track workers. I’m just follwoing along, with Dean behind me, as Brian yells out to the marshall in the flag stand, “Can we push it!?!” His response was an emphatic, “YES! Push it into the pit exit!” So Brian hops the wall, here I go behind him, and now we’re out on the track pushing the car down to the pit exit – which seemed like it was a mile away – all the while hearing the pack of cars coming back around. The next thing I know, Bob starts popping the clutch, which does not work the first few times, and it gets harder and harder to push – 13.5:1 compression can slow a car RIGHT DOWN when you pop the clutch! Finally, she fired off, sped away, and we hopped back over the wall just as the pack came around for the green flag on the test session!
