Week #2, done!

The first non-winged race week was a challenge at times.

We have become familiar with the car 22 evil/good twin and never knowing which car would come to the race. When car #2 had an evil twin appear, it was a bit of a surprise! Pat and Bobby both had their hands full on Saturday. After a spin in warm ups, the crew made some adjustments to the 22 and Bobby brought it home to victory lane in the heat. Pat raced the 2 to a third place finish in his heat. The feature saw Bobby starting on the outside front row and Pat outside in row 3. It was a great race with plenty of action throughout the field. This week the 22 came to the finish line in 4th place, a big improvement over last week. Pat fought the car all race long and brought it home in 7th. He was one tired racer! A quick tear down today revealed what was most likely the problem, which will be rectified!!! Over all, not a bad week.

We send our congratulations out to Ray Graham and crew on their first feature win. It wasn’t given to him, by any means. It took long hours in the garage by Dave Iosue and the crew. Their hard work paid off.

Finally, we send out our prayers for a quick recovery to Shawn Muldoon. We can honestly say ” we feel your pain” on many levels. Again, the car design did what it was supposed to do, but the injuries that are sustained take a long time to heal completely. Even though cars are replaceable, there is still a huge sense of loss when one is so completely destroyed. It’s not just the money factor, but the hundreds of hours invested in putting a car on the track. So, to Shawn, Bobby and crew, we are truly sorry.

That’s it for this week. See you at the races!
