Update #12

Race #17 & #18

I need to thank several people for helping us get on the track this weekend. Billy Lloyd jumped in and gave us a quick turnaround so that we could get our engine in time to race this weekend. Keith Emrick of K-Graphics got us some decals so our right side looks a little better than it has. Also need to thank Tim Cooper and Jason Canepari for all of their countless hours of help and dedication to our race team.

Friday we went to Skyline and they had 21 cars. Coop drew us a #12 to start us 3rd in the 1st heat. We got the win in the heat race and this started us on the pole of the feature along side Larry Bond sub’ing for Jeremy Berwanger. We took the early lead and never looked back and picked up the win. Although I was told by many, that if there was one more lap Booger Garnes would have passed us. . . . There have been many of nights I needed one more lap, but regardless when the checkered falls the race is over. This was win #5 on the year.

Saturday Mother Nature was winning everything, but I-77 in Fairplains had blue skies and 88 degrees. So we headed out in the rain and sure enough drove to blue skies. They had 21 cars and we set fast time with a 14.22. We were in the chute for our heat race and the rain came. It was about a 10 minute shower, then cleared up and was nice again. It took a couple of hours to get the track ran in and we went back and ran our heat race. We took the lead in our heat and won it. Started on the pole of the feature beside Ricky Venham and went on to lead every lap and win it. I was very happy with the car and engine, everything was working really well! I also want to thank 2 Brothers Motorsports and Shaw Chassis for a really good car!

This weekend we will be going to Skyline and K-C Speedway, providing Mother Nature doesn’t over rule our decision. So we hope to see you there! For those that read these updates, I want to mention that June 25th will be a special night. It will be the running of the Greg Schilling Memorial Race at Skyline Speedway. I would really like it if everyone could come on this night.

Remember! To make this work, support those that support us!

Thanks again for your support, KJ
