I have quite a bit of updating to do!
For the past few weeks I have raced all over the northern states!I started out traveling up to Knoxville,
Iowa back on the 21 of June.
Our team had a tough time while we were there, struggled with a few motor problems, but ended up
having a fairly decent night!
That Saturday we ran a weekly show out at Eagle Raceway in Nebraska. We would continue having motor
problems...but still had a great night racing at a new track. We met lots of new fans, and even made a new
friend or two!
After Saturday night, I headed to Jack Dover's house where I would spend the next 2 weeks.
On Tuesday June 24, Team Dover and I headed up to Hartford, South Dakota! After being stopped at the
scale house, we managed to make it to the track. I had some great help that night, and would like to thank
Loren for everything that he did! We were really fast, but got into some trouble in the B main, and had to
take a provisional to the A.
Our next race was on Friday night June 27th back in Nebraska. Unfortunately my crew was unable to make
this show, and I raced the whole evening by myself. It was tough, but I definitely got through it with both
wings and all four tires!
Saturday night we raced back in South Dakota, this time in Hartford! Boy! Was that a fast track! My friend
Dustin came out, and helped as much as possible, once again my crew was still in Texas. It was another
difficult night, running a new track, and still experiencing a few motor troubles. But again, we came out on
top...and met some great fans and had a blast!
Once again it was back to the Dovers, where Jack and I spent the majority of our week getting the cars
ready for the ASCoT National Tour races that were scheduled for July 4th weekend! My dad flew in on
Thursday night, and we finished up the car. We even made time to go out to Eagle Raceway for the
non-wing show, which was a lot of fun!
On Friday night, we raced in Kansas City at Lakeside Speedway. We had some good runs, but again
struggled with motor issues. By the end of the night, we had spotted the problems and hoped to get them
fixed for Saturday nights show!
Last night, July 5th we ran at Lake of the Ozarks, in Eldon, Missouri. We were fast in our heat, but got into
another car going into 3, and turned over! We bent up the wing a little, but that was the only damage, so
we stayed out for the remainder of the race, and ended up passing two cars. We had to run the B main,
and were hoping to make it into the A, but had to take a provisional. Our motor problems continued to get
worse throughout the night...
When we arrive home, our main goal is to get our other motor in the car and prepare for ASCS
Speedweek! Overall we had a lot of fun while we were gone, and personally, I learned a lot. Hope to see
everyone attend the Speedweek races coming up!
