"It's a good challenge," Mus-
quin said. "There are so many
good guys, if you get a bad start,
it's difficult to pass those guys.
Everybody's good now, and I'm
doing better and better, and that

there, with suspension and
chassis, and small tweaks to get
me a little more comfortable,"
Seely said. "It's easy to lay down
100 fast laps at the test track,
but once we get out here, it's a

season, just in front of Seely,
with Webb holding on for fourth

Or should we just be smart and
tame it down a little bit?' So I just
decided to chill out because I
knew we had plenty of room,
and I saw where Marvin was so
that I could gauge things."
That's the story of Anaheim II.
