Sorry for the delay in getting the updates out, I got a little behind. July 8th we were supposed to go to Skyline, but Mother Nature had different plans and Skyline cancelled. So we headed to one of our favorites, Brad McCown’s Jackson County Speedway. They had 15 cars and we were to start 5th, but the 3rd place car requested the tail, so we started 3rd. we went on to win the heat and Coop drew us #2 on the redraw alongside Travis Dickson. Travis took the lead off of turn two, but we passed him in turn 3 and 4 and went on to get win #9. Track was awesome and they are improving every week.

Tim and I stayed at Sean Schobelock’s house Friday night and got up Saturday to wash the car before going to Coughlin’s to display the car. Sean, Staci and Toby kept us up all night around the camp fire, and then Sean had us up at the crack of dawn working on our car. We took the car to Coughlin’s and had a good time there. Then we went to Rooster’s to eat with several fans from KC Speedway. After that it was off to the races at KC Speedway. We started 4th in our heat race and finished 2nd to start us 5th in the feature. Unfortunately we didn’t get to make it a lap. Got caught up in a spin and tore the entire right side off including the roof and a brand new right rear tire. So back to the sheet metal work yet again! Thanks to Sean & Staci for their hospitality and to Toby for pit crewing for us!

Friday July 15th we went to Skyline and started 4th in the heat race, took the early lead but got passed by Ricky Venham on the last lap to finish 2nd. Started 5th in the feature and ran 6th the first part of the race and wound up finishing 11th. I tried a different set up and I think it was proven not to be tried ever again!

Saturday we went back to I-77 to try and get the win that eluded us the last time we were there. We started the night off good by drawing pill #2 to start us on the pole of heat #1. We won the heat and started on the pole of the feature beside Ricky Venham. We went on to get the win over Ricky Venham for win #10 of the year. Although we have had some disappointing nights, we can’t complain about our season thus far.

This weekend will be at Skyline on Friday and I am undecided on where we will be going on Saturday. Keep watch on Facebook and Tim will keep everyone posted once we make our decision. We hope to see you there!

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