BAKERSFIELD SPEEDWAY    JUNE 7, 2003                                                     
Alex Harris, driver, working with the pit crew to set up the Stealth Gaerte midget for the Bakersfield track.  Each car uses a different set-up for each track and after a few hot laps, set-ups are checked to be sure the car is "handling" smoothly.
Alex in the Gaerte, putting on the gear needed to take the Gaerte out on the track.  Nina Harris, pit crew member,  (and Mom) hands Alex his helmet.
Alex Harris, back in from hot laps.  The power steering was not operating, so it wasn't possible to make the race. 

A side note....the only other time Cliff lost the power steering in a car was at Altamont, CA back in the 1970's. It was a sprint car he was driving.
