I have no excuse for not updating my updates. But since I haven’t, it has told me that fans do get on here and read them to find out how good or bad we have done. So that is good to know and I’ll get back in the routine of updating them weekly!

7/22 we went to Skyline and started 5 in our heat and finished 4th. The car just wasn’t what it had been. We started 11th in the feature and finished 11th. We have struggled really bad in the slick and I have no clue why. Ever since our big wreck at I-77 over July 4th weekend, we have not run well in the slick. 7/23 we went to KC Speedway and set fast time, started 4th in the heat and finished 2nd. Started 4th in the feature and finished 2nd. The car still wasn’t what it needed to be. 7/29 we went to Skyline for a Road Warrior Tour race. We had 6th fastest time but they inverted the top 4 in each heat, so we started 3rd and finished 2nd. The car wasn’t too bad. But we got rained out. 7/30 we went to Thunder Mountain in Hanover, WV. It was a 3 ½ hour tow. They were paying $1,500 to win and we had 3rd fast time. Started 2nd in our heat and finished 2nd. Started 3rd in feature and ran 3rd for a long time, but eventually got passed and finished 4th. Got home at 6:35 a.m. . . long night! 8/6 went to Jackson County Speedway and set 3rd fast time. Started on the pole of the heat and finished 2nd. Started 5th in the feature and finished 3rd. Car needed to be better and we might have found something. 8/12 went back to Jackson and started 2nd in heat and won. Started 2nd in feature and won it also. Car was pretty good, but the driver needs to make some changes. 8/13 went to Ohio Valley and started on the pole of the heat and won and started on the pole of the feature and finished 2nd. Car was good, but was just a little lazy off the corner.

I want to thank Tim, Chad, and Todd for all of the hard work and dedication, without them, I couldn’t do it. Also want to thank Jason for coming to help on setting the car up. The car has improved over the last few weeks. This weekend will be at Skyline on Friday and I am undecided on where we will be going on Saturday. Keep watch on Facebook and Tim will keep everyone posted once we make our decision. We hope to see you there!

Remember! To make this work, support those that support us!
