Really Good Night!

Were to start.....

During hot laps we were super loose all around. The first mistake was trying to fix the problem myself..... Yeah that worked wonders! LOL

Bruce had to work late and didn't make it to the track until after we timed in at a 15.2 which was good for 9th. Once he did show up and was told what the car was doing and what I had tried to do to fix it he said "You did what?!?"(Clean version) and just shuck his head and went to start fixing the car.

In the heat we started out in the lead right off the bat and as we went the car slowly loosened back up but, we managed to win the race.

The lighter side of the night was seeing the line up for the main. When you took into account everyone that scratched their time, Rookies, and broke out that left 3 cars from both heat races to put on the front row. It was really funny to watch people trying to make sense of it. When all of the dust settled we were on the outside front row.

In the main we took the lead going into 1 on the first lap and other then some bumper banging and a "Racing incident" that almost put us into the wall and still has people asking "what?" we lead from flag to flag.

Points wise we moved from 7th to 5th.

Good Night

We got out for hot laps and made it down the front stretch to the exit. When I stepped on the gas the front of the car started shaking. We found a bent brake rotor that we missed when fixing last weeks damage. Thankfully Kyle had a spare rotor and we were able to continue.

In the heat we started inside 2nd row and once the green dropped we started making a run on the outside for the win. I had a good run going down the back stretch and went into 3 and as I turned I lost my power steering. Not a good thing. The return hose had a hole in it and we lost the fluid out of the system. We had enough though to finish 2nd.

In the main we started outside 2nd row. But, as usual in this class I was stuck behind a slower car and was freight trained back to about 10th before I could get down. Through attrition and passing we made up to the top 5 when we were able to get under the 11 and raced him for a few laps when the brake just got hot and I decided to let him by. Then the 33 made his way from the back and I let him slip on by so I didn't cause a wreck.

On the last lap we passed Gary (33) trying to modify his car using the back stretch wall. That moved us back into 6th with one to go and finished in the same spot. We moved to 5th when the 57 failed tech and was DQ'ed.

We moved from 9th in points to 7th.

Nothin a little Bondo wont fix

The damage is minor. We escaped without bending the frame or any control arms. It is safe to say we will be back out for the 17th.

I would like to thank Gary and Kyle for the body parts. I am still looking for a right front fender but other then that we are in good shape.

Opening night

Damn it was cold!

We started off the night in great shape. We qualified 6th and ended up on the pole for the Dash. We won it but were challenged every lap by Bud. If you didn't see it I am sorry because you missed one entertaining race. Again I have to say thanks to Bud for a good clean race.

As for the main. Well, that didn't turn out to well. I was having a good side by side battle with Tim Alma (28) when in turn 2 I spun out and ended up facing the wrong direction. What all happened after that I couldn't tell you. I saw the hit coming and closed my eyes.LOL I thought that I had drove in to hard but was later told that a GAM had lost a motor earlier and ran thru the general area. Once I had time to think about it I think I hit some oil. The car snapped really fast I didn't have anytime to try and catch it which in most cases I do. Either way I hope everyone is ok and can get back out for the next race. I hope we will be.

I will post up dates as we get things figured out.
