Leif got his hands full in third qualyfier at Memphis. Almost hit the wall, a fireball and then crossing rhe centerline after finish line. Insider says it was a blown headsgasket, hope they can fix it to next session.

78, I believe. Remarkable chap.

When we were at Gainesville earlier in the year Chris did a qualifying run while we were in the control tower and Bob the NHRA commentator told us he is 80 on his next birthday !
