This past weekend was a rollercoaster of emotions. So many good moments with some hard ones.
Thursday we went to Lansing to get a flat track set up on the car. With Anthony and Myles (Ozzymoto Sports) help, we figured out how to get Molly moving! She looked great!
Friday, we headed to Midwest Thunder Round 4 - Kokomo, IN.
Saturday: Heavy 160
Practice looked good in the morning, but by the time Heats came, the track had already warmed up and made it feel different. We started P5 and ended P6. She still looked good out there- we just had some tough competition. We started P2 in the C main, but was unfortunately spun out and also pushed into a wall, causing the rear axel to bend/break. The car was tough to handle after that and we ended the day in 6th, missing the transfer to the B.
Motor swapped and fixed parts on the car to move onto Sunday: Unrestricted Animal
Practice looked better than Saturday, so we were hopeful of a good outcome. Started P5, ended P6 (lots of good driving though). C main again (which was one race after we had just gotten off the track, so no prep time for changes), started P6 and finished P3! Moved onto the B main which was one race after we got off the track (so again, no time to clean tires or make any changes needed), starting P9. She was doing great until 3 laps to go, and she lost all motor power! We ended up having to come off the track and weren’t able to finish, so we ended in P10. 😔 After checking the motor back in the trailer, it would seem that something is wrong internally, so it’s finished for the season unfortunately.
So disappointing when Molly had made so much progress this weekend. We are thankful for the help Myles and Anthony did for us.
We have a club race this weekend at LKS. Going to run the Heavy 160 classes.
