Race #48

Our
season is now complete & we finished up at Atomic Speedway (formerly called
K-C Speedway). Our night didn’t start out too well, cause when I qualified I
drove it in turn 1 too hard and went off the track in turn 2. That buried us in
heat #4, starting 7th. The car drove super, both high and low and we got the
heat race win. On the pill redraw we started 6th in the feature. We passed our
way to 3rd on a long green flag run, but when a caution came out, our right
rear tire gave up and our car just didn’t take off and we wound up finishing
5th. We also got to race Jim Helterbran’s #27 hobby stock. Jamey Adams helped
get us the ride. We started 10th in our heat race and finished 3rd. We started
6th in the feature and passed to 3rd. We passed for 2nd a couple different
times, but each time the yellow came out. But at about the half way point we
got a flat tire. Had a very good car, but bad luck sturck us. I want to thank
Jim and Jamey for allowing to race the car and all of their help!
Here is
how our season turned out. We set fast time 9 times and now hold the track
record at Muskingum County and Atomic Speedway. We won 30 heat races and 17
features. we finished 2nd-7 times, 3rd-3 times, 4th-5 times, 5th-1 time, 6th-1
time, 7th-1 time, 9th-2 times, 10th-1 time, 11th-2 times, 14th-1 time, DNF-5
times, DNQ-1. A pretty successful year, but we can identify something areas of
improvement and we’ll work on that for 2012.
I want
to thank Tim Cooper and Chad Nelson for giving up their summers to help.
Without them, none of this would be possible. Also want to thank Todd Lambiotte
and Jason Canepari for their help as well. Special thanks goes out to all of
our sponsors, whether it be a business or individuals that provide us support,
every little bit helps and is greatly appreciated!
Remember!
To make this work, support those that support us!
Thanks
again for your support, KJ
