Update #8

Race #7 & #8

Friday we went to Skyline Speedway and Tim Cooper drew us a #4 pill to start us on the pole of heat #2 along side Ricky Venham. We got the heat race win and this started us on the outside pole of the feature, with Booger Garnes on the pole, Doug Henry starting 3rd and Jimmy Fordyce starting 4th. We wrestled Booger for the #1 spot for a lap and half and we managed to take the lead. We lead for the 5 or 6 laps that we got in until the 2nd rain came and this time they had to cancel. So we have yet another double feature to run at skyline in 2 weeks, on May 21st. So mark your calendars and you will get to see us run 2 features for the price of one.

Saturday we were suppose to go to Tyler for our make up feature, but weather conditions forced them to cancel. So we took off and went to K-C Speedway. They had 34 cars and Tim Cooper again drew us a good pill, #8. We started on the outside pole of the 4th heat and got the heat race win to start us 4th in the feature. I messed up on the start and dove to the bottom of turn 3 only to have me sitting in 4th place. I passed for 3rd and worked Jason Montgomery for 2nd until about 4 to go when I was able to get by him for 2nd place. With only 4 laps left it wasn’t enough to give Doug Adkins a run for the money. 2nd place isn’t bad, but wins sure would be better.

We are supposed to go to WVMS for open practice on Tuesday night, but the weather forecast doesn’t look to good right now. So we’ll have to wait and see. Friday we will be going to Beckley for a RWT race and then to I-77 for another RWT race on Saturday. Then Sunday we will be at WVMS for their opening day. So a big 3 day weekend if Mother Nature cooperates with us. Hope to see you there! Remember! To make this work, support those that support us!

Thanks again for your support, KJ
