KJ Motorsports Update #8 Race #9 & #10

KJ Motorsports Update #8 Race #9 & #10

Friday we went to Legendary Hilltop Speedway for $1,000 to win show, where we qualified 4th fastest. That started us on the outside pole of heat #1 beside fast time Mike McPherson. We were able to go on and get the heat race win to start us on the pole of the feature beside Booger Garnes. Booger took the early lead and I threw everything at him but the kitchen sink, so to speak. It should have been a good race for the fans and Booger drove a good race and we got a 2nd place finish. Tammy Jo and Dad were able to make it to the races and again saw several people they haven’t seen in a while! Also on hand were Steve Gissy and his family for a first time visit to Legendary Hilltop Speedway.

Saturday, we went to Atomic Speedway where a fan pulled us a #9 pill to start us ont the outside pole of heat #2. We were able to get the win, but had to redraw for the feature line up. Chad drew us the #6 starting spot. On the 3rd lap I got into 3 a little harder than the 4th place car, Bob Crace and we touched, causing something to be bent in my steering. But we managed to keep going and we passed our way to 2nd behind Travis Dickson, who started 4th. Travis was running the cushion and that was the fastest line. We followed and tried different lines and even when we got into lapped traffic there were opportunities, but never was able to clear him and yet again we were the 1st loser. Both nights were good racing and we gave it all we had, just to come up short. But congrats to Booger and Travis on good close racing!

This weekend we plan to go back to Legendary Hilltop Speedway on Friday and Atomic Speedway on Saturday. Hope to see you all there! I want to give a shout out this week to my Mom and Dad who will be married 48 years this coming Wednesday. Many have heard my Dad say, they married for better or for worse. He then says Mom could not have done any better and he could not have done any worse. . . LOL! He’s pretty quick witted. But congrats to them on 48 years and thanks for being great parents! Love you both! As a reminder, I have placed an order for T-shirts ($20) and they are working on the artwork. If you want to be assured of getting your size, e-mail me at iamracing@yahoo.com with your quantity and sizes. I’ll be sharing the artwork, once it is finalized.
