It’s been quite a busy time of year for the TRE team !! On Saturday the 16th, we ran the midget car down at Willamette Speedway, but unfortunately, after practice and qualifying, the night was rained out. We want to thank Doug from Pirtle Racing for jumping in the cockpit !! 👍
Memorial Daly weekend started out with the midget car at the Oregon City car show. Besides talking with fans and answering questions, countless people sat in the car to have their picture taken (ages ranged from 2 to 72 years old) with over 50 of them being kids !! We even had Jake from “The Verdict” stop by. And we want to give a special shout-out thank you to Angela and Dave for helping at the show!! 😃
From the car show, we went directly to central Oregon and ran the race mower Saturday night at the Grass Car event. Walter Ballow picked up where he left off last year…. Running up front !! Unfortunately, after winning our heat races on Sunday, we had a clutch problem in the final…. So it wasn’t a total clean sweep weekend. The competition has closed the gap, so the TRE staff needs to keep working to keep our competitive advantage. In racing, a few tenths of a second means a lot !! Luckily, we have an upcoming weekend off before 3 race weekends in a row.
