We raced this weekend.  We started with a good round of hot laps.  Then the track went to hell….  When I qualified, I took it to the top in turn 4 and barely missed the wall.  I qualified like 12th.  We made some changes to the weight jacks.  I finished 4th in the heat.  We made some major changes for the feature.  We reduced our stagger by almost 2″, and adjusted the weight jacks AND the tire pressures.  Did I mention this is the worst shape I have ever seen the track in??  We ran very well in the feature and should have gotten 5th!  There were 3 cars that wrecked on the final lap and DIDN’T cross the finish line.  I crossed it 5th, but they reverted back to the previous lap….What kinda SH*T is that?  So I was PLACED in 8th place…

What a great day for racing!! Started out a little rainy, but it was great! Hot in the sun, cool in the shade. I didn’t qualify too well as I got too high in the loose dirt, 11th fastest. I finished 5th in the heat, but I lost my clutch. I came in and we were talking about a plan. We were loosing oil from a bolt that came out that held the TO bearing on. Lon made a decision to pull the TRANNY!! Lon, Chet, and Bobby pulled the tranny, we ground all of the tires, reinstalled the tranny and were ready to race in 35 minutes!! Not too bad. While running the feature, I was running 9th or 10th and lost 4th gear. The transmission kept kicking out of gear…. So I pulled in and finished 17th…
