KJ Motorsports Update #11Race #15 & #16
05/18/14
Friday we went to Legendary Hilltop Speedway, where Mother Nature won out. But Skyline Speedway waited out the rain and was able to race. They had 21 modifieds and when we went to hot lap/qualify we found out that we still had our engine miss, but we set 4th fastest time. This started us on the front row of heat one beside fast time setter Jess Hartman. We went on the get the heat win to start us on the pole of the feature beside KC Burdette, driving Jimmy Fordyce’s car. KC shot to the early lead and we ran 2nd, still fighting the engine miss. But once we got in lap traffic, we were actually within striking distance, but unable to make a pass, so we got 2nd.
Saturday we made more changes to try and get rid of the miss and we headed to Atomic Speedway. There were 22 mods on hand and although I had fired myself from drawing pills, I somehow found myself drawing my pill. I proved why I should be fired, by drawing #40. This started us 6th in heat #2 and we still had the miss. But we managed to get a 2nd place finish behind Fireball Pinkerton. They did a pill redraw for the feature and luck was on our side and we drew pill #2 to start us on the outside pole of the feature. We took the early lead and held off challenges from KC Burdette until he spun on lap 6. Even with the engine miss, the car was driving extremely well. There was a caution with just a few laps to go and KC had managed to work his way back up to 2nd and was applying pressure but we held on to get win #7 for the year. I believe we also found our miss and it is in our valve train. So we will be pulling the engine out this week and preparing to get ready for next weekend.
This week we plan to go to Legendary Hilltop Speedway on Friday and Saturday and Sunday we will be at Tyler County Speedway for the Let It Ride 55. We are also being honored and inducted to the Hall Of Fame for Eastern Modifieds. Hope to see you all there!
