Update #11

Race #14, #15 & #16

We went to Skyline for double features. In the make up feature we started 2nd along side Booger Garnes. We took the early lead and drove away for the feature win. For the regular show, Kim drew us a #23 to start us 5th in the 2nd heat. We were able to get the heat win to start us again on the outside pole along side Booger Garnes. This feature, the track was slicker, but we drove away for the win yet again to make it #4 for the year.

Saturday we went to Tyler for another make up feature. This one we started 7th but it wasn’t long we took over 2nd and was chasing down the leader, until we had engine problems. This was an engine we had just put in to give the other engine a break. But it was detrimental and we were unable to continue the rest of the night. On the way home Coop and I discussed back and forth as to what we were going to do for the next night. Such as put the other engine in? Take the night off from Sunday’s race? (I really didn’t want that to happen). But Jason Canepari offered up his car for us to go to WVMS to race the Dickson Classic.

Sunday we got Jason’s car ready and headed out to WVMS. They had 32 cars and we qualified 11th fastest. Pretty pleased with that and started 3rd in our heat race. We moved into 2nd pretty quick and it wasn’t until the last 50 feet that we wound up finishing 3rd. Started 11th in the feature and ran around 10th the first 23 laps until I jumped the cushion and got a right rear flat. All in all we learned some things with Jason’s car and our tire selection. I really want to thank Jason for giving me an opportunity to drive his car.

If everything works out, we should be at Skyline on Friday and K-C on Saturday. We hope to see you there. R
