Well, this weekend didn't turn out as we wanted it to. Sunday was rough on us.
Saturday we started 6 in the Sr Honda heat and ended taking 2nd in the main.
Sr Animal was good racing, ending 4 in the Main.
Then Sunday came around.
Sr Honda - starting P4 (I think) in the heat, the gas cap comes rolling out from under the tail cone That's a DQ. Off the track we went.
Sr Animal - starting P2 and the green flag is thrown. We get driven into the wall with P1 and P4. This pops the brake line, bends up the right rear radius rods, bend the rotor and chips a brake pad pretty good.
We parked the Animal for the day. We will bring her back for the next home race.
So, 2 races down. Neither even finished. We got a total of 3 laps in for Sr Honda and never even made it to the start / finish line in Animal.
Frustrating.Back to the pits to get the Glider ready to go in the B Main.
With the DQ in Sr Honda, we start 8 in the B main.There is a bunch of work to do if we are going to make it into the A Main. We worked our way to 2nd place and held it to the checkered flag!
Off to the scales. 292lb.
Intermission.
A main time.
The P2 finish in the B gives me a P8 in the Main.
Time to do it again.
P8 to P2...4 laps left, give up a spot to end P3.
Hell yes! Podium!
Off to the scales. 289lb
DQ for being 1lb under weight.
This isn't how it's supposed to end.
But it did.
Have a good memorial day, everyone.
