Needed a few days to recoup, but JR Dragster Finals in Vegas never disappoints!!! This year, we were Team āANRA 51ā ready to Abduct the Wally!!!! šš½šø And we had a blast, keeping our spirits up in the super hot heat! š„µ
Parker had to battle this weekend, running in the heat and winds all day long, up to 8-12mph. Friday night while Jesse firing up the car, and I gently nudge him to indicate fuel was leaking. So we had to forfeit in the second round. The next day we had the Race of Champions where all the number ones from each track race each other, we had a bonus race and then into the night with a 4-wide race, went some rounds but bowed out early. We ended up having a great day, dressing up in costumes š½ š¾šø, having good friends visiting, our teams dinner in the pits and watching gnarly locust take over the lights!! š¤¢š¦
Sunday, we wake and welcome a new day of racing!! It was the main event for the D7 Jr Finals. Parker not only pulled his day round, but went 6 rounds to make it to the final!! š He made it to the final 2 cars, head wind suddenly stops, lights go,š¦, both green, Parker cuts a .038 light, to the other kidsā .003, he chased him down as it was a slower car and took the stripeā¦but he broke outā¦he went too fast. He gave it his all and came home with a runner up šand š°!! I'm so beyond proud of Parker and his Crew Chief . Both worked their butts off and Parkerās driving was on point all day on both ends of the track.
Special thanks for the help and support from our Racing Family, Coach Holman and Red Shirt Friday , ASJ Industrial Hose & Fittings Inc., Continental , HHR industries, Performance Automation Company, McGee Cams, Fluid Logic for keeping him hydrated, safe and focused throughout these HOT events!!
