KJ Motorsports Update #3 Race #1 & #2

Friday we went to Legendary Hilltop Speedway where a big crowd showed up, but only 14 mods were on hand. I had a newbie draw my pill and she drew #45. Diane, as Donald Trump would say, “you’re fired!” LOL. We started 7th in our heat and finished 2nd & this started us 3rd in the feature. This track can be close racing with some door rubbing and I’ve been on both sides just like everyone else. With 3 to go in the feature, we took the lead and pulled away with win #1 of the year!

Saturday we headed to Atomic Speedway and again, they only had 14 cars. This time, I had to fire myself, for I drew the worst pill of #50. So again we started 7th in our heat. The track was smooth, but a little slick and at the start of the race I picked the wrong line and got held up. But I finally got some open race track and slowly picked off a position at a time until we made it to 2nd and Jes Hartman was leading. I reeled him in and he bobbled off of turn 2 and we passed for the lead and the heat win. Now Atomic does a pill redraw after the heat and I drew #3 to start us 3rd. We made a couple of little changes for the feature that proved to improve the car, but our right rear tire faded on us and we finished 2nd to Dave McWilliams. So a 1 – 2 start to the season isn’t too bad.

I want to give a shout out to Jeff Schilling of Schilling Truss & Building Materials. Jeff and his family is a longtime friend and his support is very much appreciated. Please take a moment and go to www.schillingtruss.com and look around and then give Jeff a call for a quote or any special offers he may be able to provide you if you mention KJ Motorsports.
