Race Recap brought to you by Michaels Bus Lines
Well, it was a busy race weekend that started with a double feature night at Monadnock Speedway.
Practice #1 showed us we still have some work to do, as the car wasn't handling well at all. Dad made some adjustments, and it was much better for Practice #2. We're still working on getting the car completely dialed in as she continues to learn this new division each week.
In the first feature, Sofia was running well and holding her own. On lap 18, there was an incident on the backstretch and the caution came out late. Coming out of the turn, Sofia hit the brakes trying to avoid the car and spun herself around, and made side-to-side contact with another car. Not knowing the extent of the damage, she had to be towed off the track.
Once back in the pits, we discovered the entire front wheel was hanging off due to a broken knuckle. Dad, along with Perry and John, immediately got to work. Digging through spare parts and working against the clock, they somehow managed to get everything back together before the second feature.
For the next race, Sofia elected to start at the rear and was told if the car didn't feel right, to pull off. She reported that the car actually felt great, but it started making a noise. Rather than risk breaking something else, or wrecking she made the smart decision to bring it in.
A huge shoutout to the crew for busting their butts to get the car repaired in time for the second feature. And an even bigger shoutout to Sofia for making the smart decision to play it safe, even though we all knew she wanted to stay out there and race.
Racing is full of ups and downs, and this weekend gave us a little bit of both. The important thing is to keep moving forward, learn from every experience, and come back stronger next week!
Thank you to everyone who came and to Perry for all his help! Also to Maeve who is rocking the young guns and her first place trophy!
There is some work that needs to be done this week and we will move On to the next one. 🏁
