Kirby flew well in both training sessions only just slipping from 3 rd to 4 th in the final practice run. “All things considered I think we had a pretty good run but that being said I’m hoping I can find another second out there and nobody else can,” said Chambliss, flying with his slower spare engine after a swap was advised by the technical director earlier in the week. “It’s not like we’ve got a bad engine but it’s a little down on power from the front guys. The airplane is going great and I’m flying pretty good and the engine is nice and smooth. I just wish it would put out about another 20hp.”
