I was reminded that I haven’t posted race day updates for the last two weeks lol. Long story short in four races we had three 3rd place finishes and one DNF and learned a couple things (hopefully)
5/31 @ Blackbird
Sr Honda
Heat 2 to 2
Feature 4 to 🥉 -After starting on the outside and going straight to the back, settled in and drove back from 6th to 3rd
Sr Animal
Heat 3 to 4
Feature 8 to DNF 🚫- started 8th, made wholesale changes during the break and car was way better. Worked his was up to third but made a mistake when 4th place got a run under him Charlie came down and made contact which sent him to the outside wall. After a few green laps he was up to 5th but he felt the bent shock and came in under yellow to have me look at it and didn’t realize they had just given the one-to-go so pulling into the pits DQ’d himself 😣
6/7 @ Blackbird
Sr Honda
Heat 6 to 3
Feature 3 to 🥉

Good result but same mistake as last week. With 4 to go running in 3rd, 4th place got under him and Charlie didn’t leave enough room and they touched and jumped wheels and his competitor spun. Charlie rightfully got the strike and was sent to the rear in 8th place. Took the green with 4 to go and drove the wheels off it to finish 3rd against some really strong cars!
Need to clean up some stuff. We watched the replays together and I’m not easy on him, so he knows what he needs to work on.
Our first national this week!
