FRIDAY MAY 18
WE TRAVELLED TO BEAUMONT TEXAS, AND RACED AT MOTORAMA SPEEDWAY.
WE STRUGGLED WITH A BREAK PROBLEM AND OUR FINISH IN THE HEAT GOT US A SECOND ROW
OUTSIDE START IN THE B QUALIFYER. ONCE AGAIN, THE BREAK PROBLEM GOT TO US, IN
THE SECOND LAP OF THE B. BUT WE STILL MANAGED A FOURTH PLACE [ON TRACK] FINISH,
ONLY TO FIND OUT AFTERWARDS THAT THE CAR INFRONT OF ME HAD HIT THE CONE ON THE
RESTART, PENALIZING HIM TWO POSITIONS, AND MOVING ME UP TO THIRD. AFTER STARTING
17TH IN THE A FEATURE, THE BREAK PROBLEMS CONTINUED, AND I PULLED IN, TO PREVENT
ANY FURTHER DAMAGE, AND CONCLUDED THE NIGHT WITH A 14TH PLACE FINISH.
SATURDAY MAY 19
PRE RACE EVENTS: BRIGHT AND EARLY SATURDAY MORNING, MY CAR OWNER (TRACY MINTER)
AND I GOT UP TO GO MEET SAMMY AND BOB FROM 97.5 THE TICKET EPSN RADIO. AT 9:00
SATURDAY MORNING I WAS LIVE IN THE STUDIOS ON THE SAMMY AND BOB SHOW. I HAD A
BLAST, AND HOPE THAT I CAN VISIT THEM AGAIN SOON.
THAT NIGHT THOUGH WE RACED AT HOUSTON RACEWAY PARK, IN BAYTOWN TEXAS.
A TRACK THAT WE HAD PREVISOULY BEEN SCHEDULED TO RACE AT, BUT HAD GOTTEN RAINED
OUT. THEY HAD CHANGED THE TRACK QUITE A BIT SINCE LAST YEAR, AND WE WERE REALLY
ANXIOUS TO RACE ON IT.
UNFORTUNATELY THOUGH, THE U JOINT AND DRIVE SHAFT EXPLODED DURING HOT LAPS AND
MINORLY INJURED MY ANKLE. THE REPAIRS FOR THIS CAUSED US TO MISS THE HEAT RACE,
BUT WE WERE ABLE TO START IN THE VERY BACK OF THE B QUALIFYER. WE ENDED UP
FINISHING SEVENTH, AND MISSING THE TRANSFER SPOT BY ONE. BUT STILL HAD A GREAT
NIGHT AT THE TRACK. AND WE CAN'T WAIT UNTIL WE RACE THEIR AGAIN.
THIS WEEKEND WE WILL BE RACING ON SATURDAY NIGHT AT GATOR MOTORPLEX- IN WILLIS,
TEXAS. AND SUNDAY NIGHT IN CORPUS CHRISTI.
HERE ARE A FEW PICTURES FROM THE SAMMY AND BOB SHOW, AND THE RACES ON SATURDAY
NIGHT.
