Track: Skyline Speedway

Thursday we were invited to South High School to the Vocational Technical Center along with Greg Mitchell and also a person from the Admissions office of Ohio Northwestern University. ONU offers degrees in high performance motorsports. It was a fun day and the kids seem to enjoy the break from school.

Friday we went to Skyline Speedway for their season opener. I started the night off with a #50 pill pull. That started us 8^th in the 2^nd heat race. We made it to a disappointing 5^th place finish. This started us 14^th in the feature and Jason made several changes. The groove appeared to be the bottom, but our car would not go on the bottom like it needed to. So I chose to go high and the car started advancing. We made it to 3^rd and were close to passing for 2^nd, but the checkered kept us from making the pass. I was very please with the way the car drove. Still need to work on making it go on the bottom.

Saturday nights racing was a rain out. This weekend is undecided at this time. Keep checking the web site for schedule updates. I want to thank Wayne Cornell for designing and maintaining the web site. If anyone needs a site for their business or personal use, please give Wayne a call.

Along with our existing sponsors, we also picked up H&S Construction. They are building my 40’x60’ garage and should be complete by mid May. I can’t wait, nor can Kim so she can park her car in the garage!

Remember! To make this work, support those that support us!

Thanks again for your support,

KJ
