Racing News

InfernoMotorsports team got the 2011 racing season at
Irwindale Speedway off on the right foot.
Joe and Dennis finally got there chance to race the cars
purchased in 2010.
The weekend started off with 2 very good cars , both cars
practiced well, both cars handled well and the set up
was well balanced.
Both Dennis and Joe qualified in the top 10 and started the
main event side by side.
Joe had his car taped off for qualifing and caused the car
to bottom out costing him at least 2 tenths , that 2 tenths
would have made him 2nd fast time.
Dennis qualified with the fastest laps he has ever run
in 11 years.  Dennis was very happy!!
The race was 75 laps on the very fast 1/2 mile oval,
Both Dennis and Joe  charged on the green flag, Dennis fell in
behind Joe and they ran nose to tail for 25 laps passing
cars from their 9th &10th starting spots.
Joe recieved minor damage when 2 cars ahead of him got
together and collected  Joe, that caused a steering issue
knocking the toe out and punching a hole
in the fender, both of these conditions caused the car to
not handle or  turn as well as it was early in the event.
Dennis had his car get loose and he hit the wall with the back
of the car damaging the body and both rt side wheels.
Dennis pitted and Tim and David checked him over and sent
Dennis back out.
Joe continued to charge thru the field and by the time the
checkered flag flew Joe was up to 4th and Dennis finished
10th.
The next race for us at Irwindale will be May 7th ,
I am One Happy Dad!!!.
Stay tuned 2011 will be a good year....
