What else can I say but "well s**t".. Thunder Road International Speedbowl hosted the Pro-4 Modifieds for the labor day classic yesterday. We wanted to have a good day in front of our home crowd and I would say we accomplished half of that.
03vt driven by Ryan McPartland was fast and consistent right out if the trailer and managed a 7th place finish out of 18 cars that made the day. Amazing handling but laking on power we will dig in and find that issue. Great job and as always thanks you for the hard work and help.
24vt, well that's a different and long story. Car felt strange on the track in 1st practice and it didnt take long before the trailing arm bracket decided it was too tired to continue. Thanks to JDS Motorsports for their welder and we got it fixed back up. 2nd and 3rd practices we addressed some loose handling issues and some carburetor issues and got ready for the heat. By the end of lap 2 I was in 1st and by the end of lap 3 something else decided it was tired and the car just shut down. So the new car gremlins are still in there but were chasing them out one by one.
We couldn't participate in this awesome sport if we didnt have the support of our families and friends, Chris Ashford, Annie McPartland , Jared Ashford , Tyler Langley , Sophia Ashford and our sponsors for the weekend Good Measure Pub & Brewery and Baroffios Garage
