Friday we went to Legendary Hilltop Speedway for a $1,200 to win race. They had 31 cars and we set fast time with a 14.94. This started us on the pole of heat 1 alongside Terry Hinkle. The high side was the groove to be in and although we seemed to be a tick faster than Terry, we could not make the low side work and we finished 2nd. This started us 5th in the feature and just before going out, Coop reminded me that it was 35 laps. So I just took what the track and car gave me and we ran 5th most of the race and about half way we got in lap traffic. I took advantage of the lap traffic and passed from 5th to 3rd, but caution would send us back to 5th. We did pass for 4th shortly after, but the engine was getting hot and I opted to back out some and we finished 4th. The new car is running well, we just haven’t put it in the winner’s circle yet.
Saturday, Mother Nature won out! This weekend, again we will be at Legendary Hilltop Speedway on Friday and will be at Skyline Speedway for the Harvest 50! So we hope to see you there!
This week, I want to give a shout out to Bill & Patty Welch (R.I.P.)! Although I did not know Bill & Patty personally, I displayed their names on our car, just like Brian Benson does on his sprint car, because of their son Phil Welch. Phil Welch (son) and Paula Hall (daughter) are friends of mine and we will continue to display their name to honor their parent’s memory. Thanks again for all of your support!
