“It
was very easy, I let her float out, she was getting a little impatient in the
three hole.” Driver Ron Pierce said. “She did that all on her own I was trying
to slow her down, you got to let her do what she wants to do. She was nice
relaxed and calm tonight. As long as we can keep her relaxed, we are doing
something.” He added.
