Update #9

Race #14 & #15

By: Kenny Johnson Date: 5-19-08

 Friday we left Parkersburg in the rain and headed back to Hilltop Speedway. To our surprise it was sunny and blue skies, which made for a really nice evening. But our racing wasn’t as good as the weather. During qualifications our car stumbled and was quitting and we got 16^th fastest. Came in and changed the fuel filter and cleaned up the distributor cap and went out for the heat starting 4^th. They watered the track and it was greasy and we finished 4^th. This forced us into the consi, starting on the pole. We didn’t even make it a lap and the car stumbled and quit forcing us to drop to the infield. We later found that we had water in our fuel tank.

Saturday we went to Tyler County and were sitting in the chute for hot laps and it started raining. After an attempt of getting the track ran in, rain came again and forced them to cancel.

Sunday, Midway Speedway was paying $1,000 to win and we headed that direction. We set fast time with a 15.15 and had to start 6^th in the dash. We wound up finishing 5^th and this started us 5^th in the feature. Midway is always a tough track to pass on and I was being surprisingly patient. We finally made it to 3^rd, but the leaders were a straight a way ahead. When the checkered fell we were within 2 car lengths of them and we managed a 3^rd place finish.

This weekend we will be at Elkins on Friday for a Road Warrior Tour race. Onto Zanesville on Saturday and then to Tyler on Sunday for another Road Warrior Tour race. Hope to see you there!
