Hattabaugh told me afterward he had re-injured his hip. He showed a lot of courage and determination to come out and win his consy semi against Dillman of VC. If Hattabaugh had not been injured, Dillman probably would have taken third, as doug747 said. But we'll never know and that's the unfortunate part.

My hat's off to Hattabaugh. I wished him well at state but didn't mention that I still hope VC beats them ...
