A Good Time

     On a hot August night we had most success this year. How ever it didn’t start out that way. Before we even took the track there was some problems with the track surface. Major ruts and holes plagued it.

     My heat race I started on the pole, we took the green lead the first half lap entered turns 3 and 4 and the car pushed up on me bad. I was trying to figure out what the problem was during the race but I didn’t know what it was.

I finished in 5^th place and that put me 13^th on the starting grid.  Back in the pits I felt something moved or was broken in the rear suspension I thought to myself “on no, not again”. We jacked the car up and I found the problem the new mount that I installed turned on the rear end housing. Dad and I were able to fix it and then we discussed what set up we were going with.

            On our parade lap I quickly shook the car down and everything felt ok, but the track was worse. I knew I had to be smart during this race to survive. We took the green and I settled into a nice rhythm. I was just concentrating on hitting my marks as I raced the track. It seemed to go so by so fast and it was over. I pulled in my pit thinking I made the top 10, my parents let I finished in 6^th place. I was glad with my decision not to overdrive the car and ended up in a better finishing position than I thought.

        Its seems the bug are gone and that monkey went somewhere else. It feels great to running good again.

Thank you, to all my sponsors and fans that supported us so far. I am looking forward to building on this finish.

Thank You,

Jon
