We got to go racing for the first time in over a year this past weekend and had a blast. Felt great being at the track and behind the wheel again. Friday at Antigo, qualified 7th, started 2nd in the heat and the engine stumbled horribly on the start so fell to 4th and after something happened to the 73 car, finished 3rd. Pulled the pill for the pole for the A and we went over the entire fuel system trying to fix the stumbling issue on starts but under the pace laps I did some practice starts and the engine still stumbled so I opted to go to the rear so it wouldn't cause a wreck on the start and still drove it up to an 11th place finish which was fun as hell. We changed pill valves and went through the fuel system again and went to ABC raceway on Saturday. Qualified 11th, started 1st in the heat and finished 2nd. Started 11th in the A and then started having some issues and then just completely lost power and dnf. Not the results we were trying for but it was worth it all. Huge THANK YOU to Absolute Quality Glass, Marshall's Excavating, The Pour House in Lakewood, WI, Dave and Mike Clapps, Josh Popp, Kent Thompson, and Todd King for the use of the engine. Don't know when we'll be back out but we at least got to have some fun this year.
