Man! I really don't know what to say. All I really can do is shake my head and just laugh. Saturday night really just summed up our season. If it wasn't for bad luck I wouldn't have any luck at all.
When you sit back and look at the night as a whole, all one can really do is laugh. The car timed in ok at a 15.03 which like usual put us a in the back of a heat race. Then the heat itself took what 4 or 5 restarts just to get the race going? Then, the trip over Gary's front tire. Once things got going we ended up third.
Then the main line ups. I am not even going to comment on that. We go from starting inside 7th row to the pole. I don't even want to figure that one out.
In the main we take off and everything is fine. I think we had about a straight away lead when we came through 3 and found the 93 starting to come out of the infield right in front of us. I snapped the car low to the infield but instead of continuing he stopped and hit him. The car was ok just had some bumper damage. On the restart we started to build our lead back up when the 24 and the 39 tangled and brought out the second caution of the night. During the caution we some how lost our over flow can. I assume it came loose on the hit with the 93. Anyways, we go back to green and again start to build our lead back up. I remember coming out of 4 and checked my mirror and saw we had around a half a straight lead when coming out of 2 the rear lifted and I thought someone hit me. I looked in time to see my right rear tire go bouncing behind me. From there on it was a lot of squealing and the all to familiar sound of hard hits. I guess the one thing that went our way was that no one hit us. We pretty much had that one won. But, I guess it was to good to be true.
We will have the car back out next weekend. Just need to replace the axle and the brake hardware we lost. See ya Saturday.
