Championship night at Sunset Speedway was short lived. Car was pretty good with some fresh tires on the rear for the day. The track on the other hand had room for improvement right off the get go. Did ok in hot laps/qualifying didn’t really get a clean lap. Had a caution. Then caught the car in front me. Just didn’t really get a good clean lap or 2 in. Still was able the qualify 7th so that was awesome.
Started 3rd in the heat race and battled for a few laps the went off into the marbles and 2 cars passed while I was gathering it up and trying to keep the car moving. Last lap of the heat I was really close to the car in front me coming into turn 3 and the car kept going straight. The car in front of me lost his lower radiator hose on entry into turn 3. Water right after turn in. I couldn’t see the racing surface. I saw his car slip a little and I kept going straight into the wall. Right into the marbles, no turn no brakes. Just water to marbles. I was doing all the steering braking even gassing it trying to get it to rotate, but nothing worked. I was able to get it slowed down a little bit. The hit wasn’t to bad. Bounced like 4 times going around turn 3. Car took it well and I’m good. The right front suspension is done. I was expecting more damage but I guess once it laid against the wall the nerf bars did their job.
The night of racing was over.
Thanks to the track crew for all the hard work.
