Harig would run about ten test laps around the track, reaching speeds of nearly 80 MPH.
"You did great but you need to learn how to drive a stick shift," Billy Shotko laughed with Harig afterwards.

Baker and the Shotko's were giving pointers prior to the test session and during via walkie-talkie.
"I need to thank Billy and Evan Shotko, Scott Baker, Josh Frye, Betten Baker and Berlin Raceway for making this happen," Harig added, "This was truly a dream come true."
