Finally finished the race on my own 4 wheels after being towed off the previous 4 weeks. The car handled decent, just way too tight. I'll make some adjustments and see what we can do for the last race of the year next week..

Finished 6th in the A main. Caused my first caution of the year when my right side running board decided to fly off the car... Had an issue with the clutch pedal. Where it bolts to the rod of the clutch master it just backed itself off so that kinda scared me when I went to use the clutch to downshift the pedal was already against the firewall.

Dan and I both had contact with other cars in our heats and we both finished last.
Started 19th and 20th in the A Main, finished 10th and 11th. Not great finishes, but it's still fun passing people.

Well we made it through this past week with out anything falling off or breaking. lol We were in a 3 way battle for the lead until I got into the 2nd place guy and hooked him coming to the white. Luckly nothing was damaged. But had to go to the rear for causing the caution. Which I understand. So the monkey is still attached.

But then on the next re-start had a green, white, checkered. And Brock Baldwin went for a wild ride.

That video brought back memories. Glad he is OK.

I have to say, with all the b!ching and moaning many of us throw at 600/USLC , myself included, they sure can build a car that can handle some wrecks, no comment on the rest of the operation  ;)

Look at the weather for Saturday Brandon...60% chance of rain...  :(
...final points night so the rain date is Sunday for Beaver Dam.

You don't have the championship locked up just yet!

If you had a bigger trailer I'd let you take me up there Sunday if we get the race in Saturday though!

Yeah, will have to wait it out and see if we run tonight. I'm at work in BD now about 3.5miles from the track. It's only about 60 out, alot of moisture in the air like a mist.. Ground is fairly wet very cloudy.....

Tonight was the last night of the year at Beaver Dam Raceway. Car count was over 20 cars and i finished 11th in the a-main. The last 15 laps in the race myself and the driver i was tied in points with were nose to tail until i beat him by a car length at the checkers. That sure was a lot of fun and can't wait for next year already  ;D

Congratulations Ethan! Glad you had a good time and finished out the season. It's been a pleasure following your trials and tribulations.
I guess it's time to tear your car apart and give her a thorough going over.
Enjoy your off season!

I had a  push in the heat, finished 5th.
Should have started the 22 car A main in 15th, but on the pace lap I realized my helmet strap loosened up and I couldnt get it tight because the strap was velcro'd into the collar of my suit. Pulled into the infield and tightened it and got back out on the track well before the green, but was not allowed my starting position back. Started 22nd and finished 13th.

Dan finished 8th to finish out his great rookie season.

Jeff won his 6th straight A Main in the Sport Mod and won the track championship...now he's coming back to Legends

Jim,

Still a respectable finish, all things considered. It's been a rough year for you. It does seem like the car ran good when it was running right. The electrical issues and wrecks put you behind a bit. I do hope and pray that things will be looking good for you very soon.  ;)

Congratulations to Dan on a good rookie season! I hope you will be back next season.

Jeff, Congratulations on a very good season in the sport mod! Looking forward to seeing you back in a legends car next season.

Best Wishes Guys!

Steve

Thanks Steve, I am looking forward to getting back in a Legends car soon.

Jim, I did get the final 6 races so I changed your post  ;)
