After testing the radiator for 10 minutes and changing a flat tire, we were ready for racing. The car almost started completely on its own but battery wasn’t quite strong enough. I put the charger on it for a few minutes and the ol’ number 95 sputtered to life. It quickly came to idle and ran great all night long.
So good, in fact, that I managed 4th place in the heat race and led the feature down the front stretch after a great restart on lap 2. I quickly settled into 4th place in the feature but got spun and hit a few times to bring out the caution. Per track rules, I was sent to the back for being involved in the wreck that caused the yellow, and I never recovered. Tenth place was the best I could manage.
A little damage to the rear bumper to fix this week – otherwise, she’s ready to go again. As am I. My entire crew – Matt – and I had a great time and really had fun. Hopefully we can’t keep up that attitude, too! Thanks, Matt.
