2nd Again

The Infermomotorsports team finshed 2nd
again this week, we passed tech with a legal
spoiler, proving it was not the spoilers extra
1/2 inch that made the difference!

This week was the 1st race of the combined
super late models & late models being scored
as 2 different classes. With the supers not having
enough cars to fill a entire field , the track
decided to combine the 2 classes, this gave the
fans a full field of cars that look the
same, but are not, so...here's how the night went:

Practice went fine with Joe wanting changes in
all 3 practice sessions,
we had to qualify for the 1st time under the new
format just like the super lates do.
Joe qulaified 7th fastest and was the fastest
reqular late model and was scheduled to start
on the front row of the trophy dash.
Joe came into the pits saying something broke
on the car on the rear, We inspected the car and
found the entire rear upper suspension mount
was torn off the frame, needless to say we could
not make the trophy dash, I reset the suspension
mounts, welded the frame, added additional
support braces and finished just after the dash
was over.
We were still scored 8th in the dash, even though
we did not start, that put us outside the front row
of the main event. On the green flag we were passed
by the 1st 4 rows of cars on the inside before falling
in line 5th behind the super lates, we were leading the
late model class for 17 of the 30 lap race, but, with
some yellow flags and just 1 car a little faster
than us we finished 2nd in our class and 7th overall.
stay tuned racing again next week.....
