I had my first race weekend of the season, Grant and I traveled to Davenport, IA Friday and Jackson County Speedway Saturday. Friday I started last in my heat and was leading coming out of turn 2 and won by a straight away. In the feature I started 8th and quickly moved to 3rd by lap two but spun on my own on lap three in front of the pack and was t-boned hard by two cars. It was a pretty hard hit as I was seeing stars but I was fine. I came away with a broken spindle, nerf bar and supports and running board. Saturday morning was spent fixing the car which came together pretty well although my door is banged up a bit and my new fenders are broken and patched back together. I also found that my door bars are bent in a little and my frame and drive shaft tunnel were pushed in a little. All in all not bad compared to the guy that hit me, his car was in really bad shape.
Saturday in Maquoketa, IA at Jackson County Speedway things started much the same as I won my heat race by a lot and the car was handling great again. I stated 9th in the feature and worked my way into the lead on lap 4 after passing Grant who had a good run going. I led the rest of the race with Masters National champ Eric Barth close behind and even getting along side once before I pulled a couple car lengths on him by the checkered flag. A very good end to a weekend that started off a little shaky, I cant wait to get racing close to home.
I got in car footage from the race that I will be posting on Youtube in the next day.
Jim, If I would have had 10 of those cameras I would have sold them all, everyone wanted one after watching the race on my laptop right after the feature.
