Friday practice went great, we were fast breaking in the
new engine and went home with high hopes for saturday.
The R.C. Decals, Sudden Impact, Pirates Cove car looks
great !! Thanks again to everyone at R.C. decals.
Saturday brought high hopes when the InfernoMotorsports
team set quick time in practice and that rolled over to
quick time for qualifing where we were quickest late model
by 9 hundreds of a second over 2nd fastest.
We started 8th in the trophy dash and finished 7th.
This was a twin main event night with Joe starting
2nd row inside, still with high expections we expected a
top 5 finish in the 33 lap event.
The field took the green flag with Joe on the back bumper
of the pole sitter going into turn 1 and was rear ended by
the car directly behind us. (not even 1 lap)
Joe was spun out and a car from the back of the field
drilled Joe on the right side bending the body, bending
the right shock, bending the lower suspension arm and
bending the frame.
Thats not all !! after fixing the the car as best as we could
at the track and getting ready for the 2nd main even
we found the engine has damage, (yep the new engine)
I spoke with the engine builder at the track and he wants
the engine back Monday a.m.
(we raced about 100 yards)
Joe did drive around for 26 laps of the 1st main event
and finished 7 laps down.
stay tuned for the engine diagnosis....
