July 22, 1984
Horst Kroll of Toronto, finished second behind championship leader Michael Roe, in the SCCA Can-Am race at Brainerd International Raceway, Brainerd, Minnesota, USA.
Brainerd was a much needed shot of life for Horst. With such a gruelling and expensive Dallas weekend Kroll was desperate for a paycheck and some much needed championship points. With Jim Crawford a no show Horst was able to come up with a solid third in qualifying followed by a career best second place finish behind championship leader Micheal Roe.
With a new breath of life and a two week break in the schedule the team and a few friends gathered at Kroll's condo for a much needed break from the track and a little celebration. With victories in all three races it was clear Roe was the guy to beat, but the excitement in the room that night was that a second place in the championship was a real possibility. It was now off to Lime Rock next with a new determination for the Horst and the team.
