I want to wish my
Mom a Happy Birthday this coming week.
Friday we headed
to Elkins for the first Road Warrior Tour race. They had 17 cars and we set 3rd
fast time. We started the pole of the 3rd heat and battled for the
lead to come up short and wound up finishing 3rd. Started 9th
in the feature and worked our way from the tail twice to finish a disappointing
7th. I felt like we had a top 3 car and a 7th place
driver.
Saturday I headed
to Zanesville to run Ed Watson’s late model. I was disappointed in our run and
we didn’t make the show. Since I was running the late model, I hired good
friend, Greg Schilling, to drive the mod. His brother Joe crew chief’ed and we
all were hoping for a good evening. Kim drew a good pill to start Greg 4th
in the heat. Greg had a slight throttle push at the start of the race and this
got him smacked around on the track which eventually cut a left rear tire down.
This forced him to start 12th in the consi. As they threw the green
Greg was making a pass on the 2 cars in front of him. Apparently they did not
like getting passed and he got tagged coming down the front chute and got yet
another left rear flat. I hated the way the evening went for Greg, for I
believe he would have done well if it had not been for the 2 flat tires.
Sunday we headed
to Tyler for Road Warrior #2. They had 27 modifieds and we set 4th
quick time. We won the 1st heat with a left front flat and started
the pole of the feature. We led the first 27 laps due to a single file restart
before any laps were in the books. There was a caution with 3 laps to go and I
managed to finish 5th. This made for an extremely quiet trip home.
Sorry to all of those that I disappointed!
This week we plan
to go to Skyline on Friday and to K-C on Saturday for $1,000 to win.
Remember! To make
this work, support those that support us!
Thanks again for
your support,
KJ
