Race #27 & #28

Thursday night around 11:10 pm Carl McPherson (Mikey McPherson’s – RV1 – Dad) passed away. Friday even though the weather did not look like it was going to cooperate, Skyline was bound and determined to get it in. Mikey decided to race to honor his dad.

Now for our night, Cooper finally drew a bad pill and we started 6 in the heat race. We managed to come up to finish 2nd to start us 3rd in the feature. Mikey started 4th beside us. Mikey took the early lead and looked to be really fast. I finally managed to get to the high side and was able to take the lead and we went on to get the win, but not without getting some late race pressure from Mikey. The win was bitter/sweet for me, for I would have loved to see Mikey win on this night in particular, but I did not give it to him. I also don’t believe he would have wanted to win that way either. We got win #10 for the season.

Saturday we went to KC and again Cooper’s pill draw skills have diminished. We started 6th in the heat again and had a strange run in the heat. We were as far back as 6th and as high up as 3rd. We just could not get an open race track. Needless to say on the last lap the last turn we got a right rear flat and wound up finishing 5th, which forced us to run the consi. We managed to win the consi and started 17th in the feature. We came up to 10th after passing Jason Montgomery. But a yellow flag put Jason back in front of us and he took the high line that we had been running. Needless to say we had worse finish for the year, 11th place. I did knock the back deck and quarter panels off which does happen at KC.

I want to wish race fan Pam Lemon a Happy Birthday on Saturday July, 10th. This weekend we will be going to Road Warrior Tour racing at Elkins on Friday and Tyler County on Saturday. So we hope to see you there!
