We'll be on the track next week again. The boy needs to get some quality seat time to see how he's going to do.

Rough night. Car in front of me spun, I had nowhere to go, then got hit from behind. Lots of damage front and rear, motor pushed back to the firewall.

Congratulations on the win Joey! I knew you were sandbagging in the heat to get that prime starting position  :D

Thanks Jim although I wish I was sandbagging in the heat I have to say that I just had the setup way off for the heat! Got it straightened out for the main and managed the win after what felt like an eternity with all those cautions!

Yeah good job Joey, it was a long race. I thought they came on the radio and said we were on the track for 13 minutes and we only completed 1 lap. I had some stuff break on the car like a motor mount made it very hard to steer. At the same time the shifter linkage snapped and had to pit to have my dad put the car in 4th gear killed my restarts.

 Some how got up to 5th. A lot of carnage last night :(

Ran my first legends race last night.  These things are not as easy to drive as they look.  I spun out a lot through out the day up until the main.  By the main I was starting to get it figured out and made it the whole race with out spinning.  Finished 12th out of 13 and brought it home with out a scratch.  Can't wait for the next race now. :)

Any time you can put the car back on the trailer without damage is a good night. Congratulations on your first race!
Seat time will help a lot. What seems to be your problem with spinning? If you need help with set up or have questions, don't be afraid to ask. We've all been there.  ;)
Look forward to watching your progress.

My  biggest problem was driving into the corners too hard and turning while on the brakes.  The car handled great.  Once I got the track figured out the main went well.  It was my first time driving on this track too.

How's your car after that wreck Jim?

You can see Ethan get put in the wall. You can also see me about to nail a tractor tire coming out of 4...

 Do you happen to carry right side motor mounts Jim?

Was passing a car up high and got to his door but he continued to move up and put me in the wall...will assess the damage tomorrow but had to pull off because it broke my RR axle. That is the only known damage so far, nothing else was visually broke but won't be surprised if i find some bent rods..lost the points lead as a result of this after 3 straight wins in BD but will move on to another double header this weekend. Excited to return to Angell Park!

Well, another poor qualifying night. I started 11th and on lap one there was a crash right in front of me and I had to spin to avoid it. 1st Red flag.. Got going again and Kevin Yeatts lost a motor right in front of me and I spun in all the oil he put down. 2nd Red flag. 2 red flag and one lap complete. The car had no power and developed a bad miss by the end (carbarators). Still managed to pull out a 7th place finish some how.

STarted 8th of 19 an finished 6th. Had 4th but lost power with 2 to go with 2 broken exhaust headers (track was a bit rough).
Very happy with the finish the way this season has gone, and car is together with my spare exhaust and ready for Angell Park tonight
