Talked with Paul a bit ago. The team was unloading at Holiday Beach, on about 3 1/2 hours of sleep after a long, frustrating day at Lassiter Mountain. Problems with the timing computer kept them from making a full pass all night -- the Beast blew the tires on every run -- and the car kept wanting to jump out of reverse.
Paul hopes the computer problem is just a wiring glitch, and the team was preparing to pull the transmission to try to get at the bottom of the reverse gremlin. The winner at Lassiter Mountain, Tim Segars, uses a clutch, and so was able to slip it to help get down a cold track. He beat Paul in the semis.
