Race #8

Friday we went to Skyline and I’ll have to admit, I had high expectations. But it ended in disappointment. Pill draw put us starting 6th in the heat and we wound up finishing 4th. My foot was overpowering my brain and I was not going anywhere. In the feature some changes were made and I maintained better throttle control but finished a disappointing 7th place. The next morning I found another screw up on my part and that was I didn’t have the springs on the car that I thought I did. Skyline is a struggle, but I’m not helping it at all!

Saturday we went to K-C for all of the other tracks rained out. We made it to K-C and hot lapped and then the rain came and made things a muddy mess. The promoter waited the shower out and then began to run the track in. Some racers including myself went out to help the effort but it was all for not. I thought since he waited it out that he was committed to getting it in so I took our car out and got it terribly muddy just for him to give up. Next time I’ll wait in the trailer. But I need to thank Tim and Jake Cooper for coming out and washing the car. I’m certain they’ll be speaking up the next time I get the idea to go help run in the track. LOL

This weekend we plan on racing 3 nights. Friday we will be at Skyline and at the Valley on Saturday. Sunday Tyler County will be paying $3,000 to win and this will be a huge Modified show. Hope to see you there!

Saturday with the Valley cancelling, we decided to go to KC for the first time this year. My lucky charm, Kim, drew us a #4 pill which started us on the pole of the 4th heat. We went on to win the heat and this would start us 4th in the feature. We ran 3rd the entire race but with 2 laps to go we dove under the 2nd place car and attempted to chase down the leader coming up just short. I felt like we had the winning car but 2nd is better than 3rd.

This weekend we plan to be at Skyline on Friday and at the Valley on Saturday. Hope to see you there!

Race # 6

Wow, where has the week went? Sorry for being so late with this update. Saturday Mother Nature tried to win out, but Muskingum County Speedway was able to get their show in. they had 35 mods and we were 6th fastest in qualifying. This started us on the outside pole of the 2nd heat along side Rick Aukland and Norman Aaronholt and Rob Stambaugh in the 2nd row. We went on to win the heat and this would start us on the outside pole of the feature. Cooper has the watch on us and saw our lap times were getting slower as the race went on. So we decided to go with a medium tire compound. At the start of the race it was not going and we fell back to 6th. But once the tired fired it was progressing forward again and we finished 5th. The car was better up there than it has been the past few years. So we have something to work with. I had some additional help at the track; the Lemon Family jumped in and helped me out quite a bit. They definitely weren’t afraid to get dirty! LOL

This weekend we will be at the Valley on Saturday, unless Mother Nature has her way. If they cancel we will look at other Saturday night tracks. Hope to see you there!
