I finally made it out for a race on Friday after installing my second motor this season.  Managed to stay at the back of the pack about 1/3 of a lap back from the lead for two heats.  Had electrical problems and had to sit out the feature race.

Went to Mosport to race on Saturday and only got 1 heat in before getting raced out.  At least I know the car is running good anyways.

You got "raced" out!!!!???
I hate that when that happens!

Steve  ;D

I won last night at Charter Raceway park, blah, blah, blah.
All that hard work paid off although I wish I would have found the bent driveshaft before I got to the the track.

Racecar spelled backwards is racecar. Racecar upside down is expensive.

Jeff already said it for me, damn!  ;D

Good job Jeff!

I spent the day re-inventing my car. Put some theories I had bouncing around to it and for me, found some stuff that wasnt right...it worked good. I have to say it was the most fun racing I've had yet. Started 2nd in the heat and finished 3rd (Jeff won that too) ahead of some better drivers than I.

Started the A main on the pole, and was slowly passed by the cars that belong ahead of me, finished 12th. The car handled great, and the track was perfect, as it always is when we run with the sprint cars. Alot of side by side clean racing by all and a caution free heat and Main.

Now we're back to the car being better than my driving...it wanted to be faster...I have to catch back up!

Hey Guys,

    Got another car, and have been working day and night to get it ready for our qualifier. Should be good to go. Now all I have to do is ride around the track a few times and check the setup

Finally a top 10 finish at Mandan - 6th after starting on the pole.  Still going backwards, but not dropping like a rock.  The car definitely ran better tonight.  I avoided a nasty 2 car rollover at the end of the backstretch, destroying both cars, but both drivers walked away.  Seeing that stuff makes me wonder if I should be out there.

Brian,
Congratulations on the 6th place finish!

-----Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely and in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming - WOW! WHAT A RIDE!!

I know what you're saying Brian. After the wreck last year, I was wondering the same thing myself...then I went to the races the next night and saw everyone out there , and I wasn't...I knew I had to rebuild, it wasn't an option not to.
