last point race @ Winchester Speedway, 12 Sep 09

Monday, September 14th, 2009

We had a good # draw this time, the pole for the 2nd heat. Mike made the best of it by pulling out to a commanding lead @ the checkered! He then drew a 7 for the invert, meaning starting 6th. If you read this often you know the car has been tight; not this time. Mike held on for 6th with a loose race car. We will be at Hagerstown this weekend for the Shamrock Nationals. Time trials and heats on Friday, Consilations and features on Saturday. Come on up- it should be a good show.

The night started with a decent # draw, we started 4th in the 2nd heat. The #64 was fast, ended up 3rd and that qualified us 5th for the feature through the invert.  We had some good hard racing all night, moved into 2nd and chaced after the 1m of Mike Bennet, just like everyone else has all year. Congrats to Mike and crew on their 6th win in 09. One more point race at Winchester, then the Shamrock nationals at Hagerstown, the 200 at Winchester, the southern Maryland nationals at Potomac, then our nationals at winchester on Oct. 18 & 19. Come see us at the track.

Sorry again for the delay in updates. We drew #21 on sunday, starting on the pole in the second heat! Almost forgot what to do in that situation; we led all six laps on the dry/slick winchester track, then with the invert we started 10th. The car was running good when the trans locked up going into turn 3. The car spun around and slammed the wall on the drivers side pretty hard. We worked all week to change the trans, rear gear and other parts like wheels and tires. This past week we had a normal bad draw and ended up 5th in the heat, started 3rd in the feature, the car was fast, but a little too tight in the middle to make the pass on David Kaiser in the 0 car. Congrats to David and crew and to Mike Corbin, who passed us for second at the end of the race. After last week this feels like a win. Well, we gotta get back to it so we’ll be back Sat.
