Saturday 4/18/26 we hit Greenwood Valley Action Track. Jaiden would be running 600 Rookies and 600 Winged Micros.
In the Rookies heat Jaiden started P2 , lead for some laps and then finished P2. This put him P3 in the feature. Not being use to the racing order and schedule Jaiden got caught up watching his friend lead the non wing race, lost track of time and missed the feature. Let’s just say this was on him, he took it hard and it’s pretty fair to say it won’t happen again. Hard lesson learned‼️
In hot laps/time trials Jaiden was 19th and started P7 in heat 3. He finished P6 putting him P18 in the feature. He was out there keeping pace and doing good (for his first big race). While making a pass the other driver threw a block he went up the track, was hit by another driver and landed in the Berm. His day ended there as the car was not drivable after that. After taking it apart today he had a bent rod and a bent front axle. It wasn’t something he did - it’s racing. It happens. We will be off next weekend cheering on our friends at the Nascar Youth Series from our couch. Jaiden will be back racing the first weekend in May.
It was nice seeing three friends back together at the track racing again. Henion Racing Team Herr Racing💙🏁
Car repair and cleaning is on deck - until the next race.
