Well I did not plan on racing the season opener on April 11, but I was able to make it. Now the car was not set up I had no idea what the cross was or the front end numbers. I had the car down to the frame and sent to Jordan over the off season. It was the first time the car was running for more than 5 minutes and the first time it turned a wheel under power. As for the track, Barberton Speedway paved oval, was very cold and bad. In the hot laps my car was all over the place. After putting some toe in it, it had none! the car got better, but the track was so bad, 1 grove. The track was putting down speedy dry in turns 3 and 4 2nd grove to get he water coming up through the track. So, if you got into it you where along for the ride until the ice cold tires found the track. I think it was about 38 degrees at the time of the main!!@%#%. I know in August I will wish it was cooler, but wow it was COLD.
I just rode around and out of 17 got 13. Next week the car will be scaled and set up for the next race at Lorain, this was what I was planning on being my 1st race.
So, I was able to shake down the car and got my pit pass back and then some. Loaded it up....cheap Saturday night.
