With all of the changes to the car over the week it was a mystery how the car was going to work.  In the heat we started up front because of the points deal and I was quickly passed by #36 of Casey Cox.  A few laps later though Casey broke and I reassumed the lead and brought home the win.  Tough luck for Casey, if the car stays together he is going to be tough to catch let alone pass!  Then because we won the heat we had to run  the dash with the micros.  Looked like fun, but I was not going to get too crazy.  Starting last, I moved up a couple spots and Brook never made a mistake for me to get by, but wow ... people really think that I should have blasted past the micros and took off.  Hmm, same motor & 150lbs heavier???  But, all in all the race was fun, on to the feature!  Again the points deal had us starting outside pole beside the #81 of Shane Butler and we had a very even start at the wave of the green.  I was able to power through turn 1 & 2 to get by Shane and tried to run good laps to get away and then the first caution came out.  The #1 of Holly Porter coasted up beside me to let me know she was behind me and I knew the race was on.  Out came the green and I ran as hard as the orange crate could and I was told it was a fun to watch, Kyle Watters joined the mix later to add even more action.  At the wave of the checkers we got the feature win and were able to hold off the white terror of 1 & 91.  Next Friday is my favorite race of the year, the Bill Davis 75 lapper.  We will be starting near the back so it should be fun, see you there!

 

Well, the tires finally came in and we had them on the car for the night and the fun began!!!  I had more stagger than I was hoping for, but we will have to work with what we have got.  In warm ups the car was really loose and I made some changes for the heat race and was better.  I think I finished 2nd in the heat, but more changes were in store.  In the feature the car was still loose, but we finished 3rd behind two very fast white cars the 91 of Kyle Watters and the 1 of Holly Porter.  Funny how things work out, I gave the 1 crew some tips for the feature and then couldn't keep up to her...hmm.  Glad to see both of them have a good night after what they both went through in the rain out feature earlier in the night.  Well, more changes for next week to try to be faster, see you there!  P.S. I took some pictures in the rain out features, check them out on the link for more pictures at Wonderland in the photos section of the website.

 

Well, no tires again!  So the slicks stayed on and we went out to have a great night of racing, well ok would be a better way of putting it.  In the heat the track was very very moist on the back straight and wow, I went no where fast.  I tried hard to get past the 81 of Shane Butler, but had no luck so we had to run the "B".  In the "B" I was in the lead and catching up to the back of the pack when I had to check up a bit and the 37 of Sean Paul wizzed past me like I was a stopped school bus.  I was trying to somewhat stay with him when my motor began to miss which resulted in me pulling off.  We rejetted the motor with the help of motor guru Charles Forgues and went out for the feature.  I tried some changes to the car and was not all that happy with it, but had gangs of fun racing back and forth with Hugh Smibert.  The 45 will asleep for next week's racing, but will return on the 20th, hopefully with some treaded tires. See you then!

 

The first night is finally here and I was ready to get out and have some fun, but there was one small problem.  My treaded tire that I had bought was absolutely huge and I had sold it and ordered another one and you guessed it, it didn't come in.  But anyways, I put the slicks on the car and headed out and in the heat we ran ok.  The track was pretty heavy and of course the guys who were running the treadies were getting used to them, so a second place finish in the heat to Matt Wells was great.  Then the feature came along and the track was a little drier and wow, the treaded guys took off.  I quickly made my way to the rear of the field and watched as the treadies appeared to ride off in the sunset.  But with lots of effort, I made my way back up to I think 6th and had fun racing with everyone.  Hopefully the I can get a tire soon, see you at the races next Friday.
