Full house as Monza, but only 2 of 3 Laps Completed.<\/strong><\/p>\n

We had planned on racing on Steve’s Monza track, but he called saying he was stuck in traffic.\u00a0 We delayed the start, but then he called again saying he would be really late and to start without him.\u00a0 We setup the old Monza circuit and were about to begin racing when Steve showed up.\u00a0 Instead of starting\u00a0 at 1800 we started after 1900.\u00a0 Monza is usually a quick race so we thought we had enough time to complete the scheduled 3 lap race–we were wrong.<\/p>\n

A record 7 teams showed up for the race and 14 cars lined up on the starting grid.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Dan Gurney held the pole position sharing the front row with A.J. Foyt and Watson.\u00a0 Gurney pushed his car to the limit, even hitting 200mph, and lead the first lap.\u00a0 A battle was happening behind him with multiple position changes.\u00a0 Hakkinen and P. Hill dueled for second.\u00a0 P. Hill held position behind Gurney going down the front, but slowed to conserve wear through the Curva Grande and was passed by Hakkinen.<\/p>\n

During the second lap, Gurney continued to push and maintained his lead<\/p>\n

while burning though all his wear and skill points.\u00a0 The pack was gaining on him.\u00a0 He cleared the last corner and entered the front straight with Hakkinen<\/p>\n

right behind him followed by team McLaren and Ferrari.\u00a0 Both McLaren cars had a full laps worth of wear remaining.\u00a0 Then we ran out of time and had to end the race at the conclusion of lap 2.\u00a0 Gurney took the checkered flag in team Eagle’s first race of the season–congratulations John!<\/p>\n
