Friday practice

The morning practice session only lasted one lap.  Rick Parson, who drives the Redman car, broke an oil cooler and slowly spread 15 qts of oil around the complete track.  He had no idea it was leaking.  They stopped the session to clean up the oil.  After a short time passed, they canceled the session.
So I really learned nothing in the morning.
   The afternoon session went well.  The new lines for the oil catch can worked, no oil was transferred into the can. I'm glad that problem is resolved.  The wheel toe in settings also felt more stable at high speed.  I'm going to leave them there for now.  I checked all the new wheel bearings, everything looked good.
The radiator had no leaks, that's good.
  This morning is qualifying,  I'm going to take it easy, my last time in the car was almost a year ago.  No more front rows for me.
