Raced our 3rd Midwest Thunder .25 Quarter Midget Racing Series event this weekend in Kokomo, Indiana.
This was our first time racing this track, but hopefully not our last. Known for its long straightaways, it was a lot of fun and I really liked it.
The car was fast. We are gratified by those who noticed, commented and were cheering us on. Once again our results don’t reflect what we were capable of.
After leading the majority of the heat,toward the end of the race a couple of cautions and the wrong gear led me to a 3rd place finish (B main).
B main started 2nd, had a great start from the outside taking the lead on the first lap. However - unfortunate circumstances and many long cautions and delays resulted in the race timing out after only 12 laps, leaving me as the “X” car for the A main.
Had the race not timed out, we’re confident we would’ve made the A.
We continue to learn and persevere despite disappointments, it’s all shaping me as a driver and our team and we will only continue to improve.
We enjoyed the weekend. I’m so grateful that Grandpa Terry was able to share this experience with us.
We’d like to extend a huge thank you to Kokomo Quarter Midget Club for being such wonderful hosts this weekend. Especially their club president who went above and beyond all weekend long. Your hard work did not go unnoticed.
Thank You
