CANT STOP THE BRANDTS was Bill driving the Oberto?

I had started out to run the Oberto on Saturday. However, I lost a screw holding the motor mount and was under a time crunch not finding a replacement. At the last minute I pulled out the proven Notre Dame. It took most of the Saturday race getting it dialed in. ( I hadn't raced it this year ) I took 3rd in the UNW race and then Sunday was lucky enough to win 4 straight heats and the final.
