Race 5 results

One of  the hardest fought races Joe has driven all
season for 8th place last night at the bullring ,
Yes , I said 8th place !!!
The InfernoMotorsports , Horn industrial services,
Titan industries, MIM  monte carlo qualifed 12th
in the 17 car field .
The car was horrible in practice and worse in
qualifing, we looked high and low for the problem
and  finally found that the sway bar on the front
had came loose and the sway bar was not working.
We  reset the car, took out the changes we made  to
correct the handling  problem, changed all the shock
settings to a whole different setting and sent my
son onto the track for  the main event ,  not  knowing
what we had for a  set up.
Joe worked hard to  pass one car after another sometimes
taking 5 or 6  laps to get past one , then drive away
and catch the next, then 5 or 6 laps again, then drive
away, doing this over and  over again, we finally
were running 6th and the yellow flag flies,
When the field goes back to green, all the cars that Joe
just passed used the choose cone and took the outside 
lane while Joe stayed on the bottom lane, some of the
cars Joe had to  pass again, and again and again under
green.
like I said at the beginning...

A note On the Horn Industrial services Bandalero
driven by Ethan:
Ethan could not compete in saturday nights event
because  of  foot sergery on his left foot, oh trust
me when I say this , He wanted to drive his car
badly , but  being  on codine and wearing a boot
he could not and was not allowed to race.
Ethan will drop out  of racing on saturday nights
bullring rookie of the year points chase and
compete next year for the rookie of the year
instead, He will race  on friday nights that are
non points races and will not effect his rookie
status for 2014.

Stay tuned  we race the modified  next week...
