Joe has great race in the new car

InfernoMotorsports applied all thier resources into purchasing
the 2006 Jackson chassis we purchased on wednesday
evening.
With only 1/2 day friday and saturday a.m. to transfer
the seat and safety equipment, balance the car
and get to the races it seemed like time was working
against us.
Together Joe, myself and the help from mike we managed
to have the car loaded ready to go at noon saturday.
After passing tech inspection with a car that has not
been thru tech in 2 years things were finally going our way.
We set the tires and pressures just like the old car and sent
Joe out for a few slow laps of practice, Joe picked up speed
as he had his first laps in this strange car.
Once Joe became comfortable with the way the cars brakes
and steering felt Joe gave it about 80 % and completed his
1st of 2 practice sessions.
Prior to session 2 we found this car was not happy with the
tire settings that the old car liked , so , we changed the settings
and sent him back out to give the car 90% and see how much
better or worse the car was based on the changes.
Joe came back after session 2 and said the car was with in 5%
of what he wanted from the car, Joe was just a little loose off
the corners.
We were now setting up the car for qualifing, with only 15 laps
under his belt Joe went 8th fast time and was in the trophy dash
for the 2nd time this year, we started 8th and finished 7th.
After the spin of the invert wheel the invert was 8 , this puts
Joe outside the front row of the main event .
Joe was the lone late model surrounded by 6 other super late
models, Joe got the jump on the green but did not hear me clear
him to the bottom of the track and the inside line passed him
down the back stretch, finally falling into line 7th behind the
super late models all went fine until we were hit from behind,
and the car that hit us spun and caused the yellow flag to fly.
The rule at this track is ANYTIME 2 cars make contact and
the yellow come out both cars go to the rear of the field.
Joe was fuming on the radio since we did not stop or even slow
down, but, the rules are the rules and we complied.
Joe was passing cars and by the time the checkerd flag flew Joe
finished 3rd in the late models. It was a great outing for Joe
he adapted quickly to a new feel and and totally different
car. At this time the car is in the garage the loaner engine is out
and our engine is going in the car for a friday night practice
and twin 35 lap feature races saturday night.
Stay tuned ........
