Opening day completed

Finally, after waiting months to go racing the InfernoMotorsports
team had a good weekend that started out less than steller.
Friday nights tire scrub and last chance test ended early with
the entire left upper suspension mount shearing off, damaging
the shock mount, our car required repairs late into the night.
Thanks to good friends Mario of Performance Plus in
Henderson and Phil from Pickarts Radiator in Henderson,
Mario opened his shop to us at midnight and let us use all of
his heavy equipment to put the car back together with help
from Phil...... Thanks again guys........now on to Saturdays race.

The starting line up for the heat races were done by pea picking,
Amy, Joe`s wife, went to pick the pea for our team and drew
last spot in the 1st heat race ... no more picking for Amy...lol
The 10 lap heat race had Joe moving up thru the field thanks
to some timely caution flags allowing us to close in on the
leader, with 5 of the 10 laps gone we were running 3rd from
the 8th starting spot when Joe passed for 2nd, the leader was
6 to 8 car lengths ahead with 2 laps to go and Joe closing in
on the leader..... now with 1 to go and Joe on the back
bumper of the leader, they go into turn one nose to tail,
off turn 2 and down the back stretch in to turn 3,
the leader slips just a little off turn 4 they are headed for the
checkered flag side by side ...and.... the electronic scoring says......
Joe finished 2nd by what looked like inches!!!!!

Main Event Time: The line up showed we were to start
6th ... we still dont know how we got that starting position??
We should have started 4th, but, oh well, lets go racing!!!
Starting 8th and the green comes out Joe gets in line 6th and
we are just waiting for the tires to come up to full temp and
staying in line for the first 10 laps of the 25 lap feature event.
The race had a few caution laps with the leader running off
with the race, Joe now running 5th and no place to pass this
very competive field of cars, finally with 4 laps to go Joe gets
into 4th place and thats the best we had for them tonight.
We almost had a 3rd, just short by one car lenght at the finish.

DISQUALIFIED THE WINNER: Post race tech found the
winner was running unapproved shocks and springs and
was disqualified moving everyone up 1 spot. We got 3rd .
Racing again next week ... stay tuned ...........
