Hot laps were a hot mess. I didn't learn anything during to track conditions. I was happy they were done. It left me guessing on setup for the heat race. I guessed poorly. Truck didn't handle great. Managed a second place though.
Feature had me starting 6th. Not sure how to describe my race. Truck was fast. Felt much better on handling after I made adjustments. The track was a follow the leader track on the bottom or ride the wall. I fiddle farted around with the guy in front of me too long. Should have gotten more aggressive. When I finally got a good enough run to pass him cleanly, we had a caution come out. One guy chose to drive thru the plowed field and passed myself and the guy in front of me on the high side. Kudos to him. I wasn't risking tearing my stuff up. Had a caution with one to go. Should have stayed conservative and played follow the leader for 7th. I didn't come to be content. I opted for an attempt to pass high and I shot myself in the foot. Ended up 8th. In hindsight. . . I should have tried up high earlier. Live and learn. I will say this, the top 8 trucks are fast. Not sure what it looked like behind me.
I'll try to do better next time. Chalk this one up to experience. I'm not kicking myself. Just need to remember next time and improve on it.
