Been having an interesting season. I've gotten a 2nd, a few 3rds, 4 or 5 4th place finishes in the heats. Best in a feature is a 3rd. The next time I raced after that 3rd, I got taken up into the wall in corner 1. Bent the front clip, destroyed lots of parts and fiberglass. Had to bring the chassis down to North Carolina to give it to Jeff Jorden to reclip and stress relieve it. Got an old 2 bar chassis to run with while waiting for the other chassis to be repaired.
Left from work and did a marathon drive from Ottawa to Brighton ontario, (3hrs), then back to kingston (2.5hrs) then down to NC (14hrs) so I could drop it off and pick up the new chassis. Stayed overnight and drove straight back home. (15hrs) All that after working crazy overtime hours. Worked an extra 149 hours of overtime in that month.
Managed to get the chassis back home, painted the chassis and 3 fenders, reassembled with the help of a fellow racer (thanks ricky bobby) and got on the track literally as the green flag dropped for the first race. Hadn't had a chance to scale the car yet, so was a light tight, but managed to pull out a decent race night. My next race night was a mess though... Forgot to tighten the ground screw on the motor in all that rush... Bad ignition problems plagued me all night. Made a mess of the feature start when the car pooched it while starting on outside pole. Should have scratched it, but nothing teaches like a mistake.
Looking forward to a fun race on Wednesday
Cheers!
