Perris non-wing & last race of the year!
10/8/2011The last race of the year :( - this is not how we wanted to end what was supposed to be our best year yet. This year has been very frustrating to me & the team, we were plagued by miscues, mistakes, and if you will, just not paying attention to detail! So it figures that the last race would bite hard and give us a nickel for us to sit on till next year. After mudpack, hot laps proved that the track was not quite ready and coming out of turn 2 the car slides up and I tag the wall. Now we scramble to fix it and miss our qualifying spot and they let us take a one lap qual. The track by now is completely gone dry slick and there is absolutely nothing for bite. We start the first heat on the pole and immediately go backwards as there is no traction at all & I don’t want to hurt the car by over driving. So to the B main we go and start 7th. They have done the track and it is now great! Run the first couple of laps easy and then in turn 3 I get collected by the car in front of me. RF wheel is toast and they push me to the hot pit, change the tire and tag the rear, green flag and then we make up a few spots and finish 7th, wow how’s that for karma? Car felt awesome and fast, so we load her up and say good bye to this incredibly difficult year. We will do our home work, and be back next year with (keeping positive) much better results. Thanks again to all of our race fans for staying in touch! Remember keep the rubber down!
