Update #4

Race #3 & #4

Friday, we headed over to Skyline, in which we found 23 cars. I let Lexi draw my pill and she drew a 49. This started us dead last (8th) in our heat. Yep, you guessed it, she got fired. We worked our way to 4th and passed for 3rd and the caution came out. For whatever reason the line up put us back in 5th and we wound up finishing 4th. This started us 11th in the feature. We were making advances towards the front, but came in contact with another car and it flattened our right rear tire just 2 laps into the feature and caused us a DNF.
Saturday Ohio Valley had postponed their opening night to April 25th, so we went to Tyler County in hopes of repeating. Dad drew us pill #33 which put us on the outside pole of the 1st heat along side Norman Aaronholt. The track was already dusty and slick. I led lap one, but lost the lead to Aaronholt and eventually lost 2nd to Mark Dickson which put us finishing 3rd. Started 5th in the feature and unfortunately was not advancing, I believe we fell back to 8th or so and a lap car had hit the wall and bounced back in front of me which took us out for another DNF.
This weekend I plan to just run the Valley on Saturday. The weather is supposed to be beautiful, so you ought to make plans to come. Hope to see you there!
Remember! To make this work, support those that support us!
Thanks again for your support, KJ
