I thought you knew I know Linda and Rich?

They finally stopped using reconditioned NASCAR Busch Series motors (after blowing up 2 engines in 3 laps at Lime Rock) and started using the Lozano Bros. 312 CI Trans-Am motor. (Don't tell Cranky this, but a circle track motor usually don't last long road racing)

First race they had the new engine package at - Mid-Ohio - Rich fails the drug screening. Some antibiotic his doc prescribed for him, but our race doc sez no-go and won't let him go out on the track. He then misses the Cleveland race cause the antibiotic is still in his system. At Washington D.C. (145 degree track temps), overheats the motor and retires before he blows it. This past Sunday in Canada, finishes a well-deserved 13th. I think he'll finish a lot more now that they have a purpose-built road-race engine.
