MAY 1999 Preliminary Qualifier Report. Blue Sky Racing just fell short of qualifying for Sunrayce99 at the preliminary qualifiers held at the GM Proving Grounds at Milford, Michigan. The team passed the scrutineering stage despite a constant rainfall which made the dynamic testing tough. However, a few small problems forced the team to drop out of the qualifying round after completing 74 of the 125 required miles. These problems were quite minor and will be fixed in a couple of weeks.
