Friday we went to Skyline Speedway for the 3rd Annual Greg Schilling Memorial Race. This is not only a huge race for the modifieds in our area, but it has sentimental meaning for me, because Greg and I were good friends. 51 cars were on hand and we qualified 4th fastest in our group. The track was really slick right from the start and we started 4th in our heat and I spun it out. I went to the tail and pretty much could not advance any further. I could tell we were missing something and I just couldn’t get the car adjusted. We started the tail of the consi and advanced a few spots, but no where near enough to make the show. So we got our first DNQ for the year. We were able to raise some money for the Greg Schilling Memorial Fund and that was the most important thing for the night.

Saturday we went to I-77 for a $1,000 to win Road Warrior Tour race. They had 25 cars and we set fast time. RWT now inverts the top 4 in each heat race. So we started 4th in the heat and past Booger Garnes on the last lap for the win. That put us in the dash and drew the outside pole for that. We won the dash to start us on the pole of the feature. Vince Conrad took the early lead but we managed to sneak around him on the high side and we went on to get the win! That was win #7 on the year and hoping for more!

Next weekend will be a 3 day weekend for racing. Our tentative plans are Skyline on Friday, Ohio Valley on Saturday and I-77 on Sunday. We hope to see you there!
