Update #6
By: Kenny Johnson, 28 April 2008
Friday we went
back to Skyline hoping to better our last weeks finish. We made a few changes
and the first was to find someone else to draw a pill besides me. Dad picked
this week’s pill and started me one row closer which wasn’t much better but
he’s not fired yet. Started 6th in the heat and finished 3rd
in a 3 way battle for the win with Booger Garnes and Mark Dickson. Started 7th
in the feature and moved to 4th but didn’t have anything for the top
3 and I faded enough that on the last lap we got passed to finish 5th
in the feature. We chose to stay after the races and try some things out. I
made several laps and then Jason Canepari got in it and made some laps and last
but not least Dad got in it. For not having been in a car for several years he
showed he still has it in him. But I think next time we’ll get him a few
cushions so he can see over the dash. LOL. He looked like a little kid sitting
in there.
Saturday we went
to Ohio Valley Speedway. We set fast time and won the first heat. After the
heat they have a redraw for the top 2 finishers and Kim drew our pill to start
us 4th in the feature. On the first lap outside pole sitter, Doug
Henry, broke. So, on the next restart I started on the outside pole. We took
the lead on lap 2 and never looked back. The car was absolutely awesome and I
just love the Valley! Tod and Tony from Hassy Chassis made it down to be there
for our first win of the year.
Along with Hassy
Chassis and Racersmate, I’d like to thank K-Graphics, Dickson Racing Shocks,
Balderson Construction, H&S Construction, Laurita Excavating, Zemba Bros.,
Gene’s Trailer Sales, Billy Lloyd Racing Engines, WOC Designs & Billy Joe
and Wanda Hammett. Also need to thank Jason Canepari and Tim Cooper for all of
their help and dedication to making us a winning team. Without the 2 of them it
would be nearly impossible to race!
This weekend we
will be going to Skyline on Friday and Saturday we will be taking the mod to
Zanesville where I will also be driving a late model. I just love pulling
double duty, but if I don’t do well in either car, that just means I will be
double aggravated!
Remember! To make
this work, support those that support us!
Thanks again for
your support,
KJ
