How about some ModWars? Thursday/Friday/Saturday at Ogilivie Raceway.

I am not sure if I should be happy or mad. During the make up feature, I felt the car was closer than it had been. Since the wreck, been trying to tweak things here and there. So progress. Started 8th and ended up 6th.

In the heat for the night, started in the pole. Again, made a few adjustments and the car felt pretty good. Ended up 3rd behind a couple of fast cars. Not bad.

In the feature, started 2nd. Got the run off the start and took the lead. I led the first half of the race (7 laps). Then, I made a mistake and stabbed the brake a bit too hard coming into turn 3. Whoops. Leading the race and spin out. Ugh. Went to the back and couldn't make up any ground with this great crew of racers. Ended up 8th.

So, mad that I messed up what could've been. Happy that we are finally finding the set up after wrecking.

Rest of the week we are not racing. Hoping that we can check the car over, do some tire prep, and be ready for next week at KRA. Good luck to all the other racers this weekend.

Tonight, we are going to get the season underway. Heading to Granite City Motor Park for their season opener.

We have a great group of people to race with in this class and I am looking forward to seeing everyone again.

The season ended the way it started. With a crash!!!!

We went to the WISSOTA Afco Invitational @ Bemidji Speedway. Both WISSOTA and Bemidji put on a great two days. Thanks to everyone that contributed by working it, donated money or prizes, or helped in anyway. It was a great event. The rest of the Mod 4 (and other classes) racers put on a nice show.

We did timed hotlaps for qualifying position in our heats. I thought the track was going to be tackier then it ended up being. So I didn't get great times. Ended up starting 5th of 7 in my heat. The top 2 national point chasers were in my heat as well.

In the heat, I made some adjustments and thought I had it ready to go. We took the green and in turn 4, something happened (I thought I got tagged, but I didnt) and my car shot hard right. It sent me straight to the wall. I hit hard on the right side. My night was over.

I am ok. Quite sore today. But I will survive.

Brayden Ahlers raced TJ's car. Putting in a lot of laps and trying different things in practice, continuing to make adjustments, he had to work thru the B feature into the A main. He started 21st. But with all the hard work by him, Ben, and TJ they got the car pretty good. He worked his way up to 10th. So a great finish doe everyone's hard work.

Thanks for all the support and kindness.

Wrapped up the regular season tonight at KRA in Willmar.

I have learned a lot from seat time as well as listening to fellow racers. They have been so great to be willing to share their knowledge with a fellow racer. I appreciate everyone's help. I wouldn't be able to be where I am today without them.

Started 5th in the heat. Was able to gain one spot with a 4th place finish. The changes we made in the car seemed to really help. In the feature, I started on the pole. I may not have led the first lap, but got back in the lead and led a few before a caution came out. After the restart, continued in the lead for a few more laps before a car got beside me. We raced side by side for a few laps, then he got away from me. At the white flag, a had another get beside me. We were side by side at the checkered, but I fell too 3rd.

It was so fun racing with this bunch. Everyone is so great.

Off the rest of the weekend. Then wrapping up our season next weekend.
Friday - KRA Special
Saturday - testing at Bemidji
Sunday - MPH Invitational

Thanks everyone for their support and love.

Meet the drivers night at KRA last night. Decided to let kids sign my car. I think it was a hit.

Racing didn't go as well as I had hoped. Need to continue to work on my setup and keep getting faster. 7th in the heat and the feature.

See you next week.

Tonight, we weren't sure if the weather was going to hold off. But, we got our feature in with a few sprinkles. Made for an interesting race. But, no cautions and everyone was safe.

Stated on the pole in the heat. Had a couple mistakes to let a couple fast cars buy me, brought home a 4th.

In the feature, started 3rd. With a bunch of tight racing and those light rain drops, we had some close racing. A lot of fun. Held on to 4th. So a good night.

Happy with the improvements in our speed. Getting better. That is my goal. To keep improving. Next up will be next Thursday at KRA.

Checking out Mod Wars in Ogilvie this beautiful Saturday night. Should be a great show with USMTS. 50 Mods and 52 Midwest Mods.

Started 5th in heat and fell back a spot. Smoothed out and passed a couple cars to end up 4th.

In the feature, started 8th. Driver error set me back to about 12th. Then slowly, I found my rhythm amd was able to pass a few along with a couple break downs to get back to 8th. There were a couple cautions at the end and I tried to gain some spots but it was pretty congested.

All in all, going home with a clean car and I had a lot of fun. See you next Thursday at KRA and then Saturday, we are heading to Brainerd for a Mod 4 Fiesta. Should be fun.
