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.

By “we” I don’t necessarily mean “me”.  I have some work to do on the car and have about four hours to get it all done.  If the radiator repair holds, the rest should be gravy.  However, we haven’t tried the thing since patching it with a wood screw and some sealant.  Yes, a wood screw.

So, I better get off this here computer and get my butt to the track.  Wish me luck… not to win, but simply to ENTER the race!
