The second day at valley speedway proved to be a mind game of “who will be more patient” as this was the first race of the season the non wing class was shown a dry, slick environment.
Samuel Wagner
Qualifying: 5th in group 3
Heat Race: 5-3
Feature: 14-11
After a hard qualifying effort, Samuel would start outside of the top four invert for the first time this season. But from there, there’s only one way to go and that’s forward! Gaining two spots in his heat race to finish third, but unfortunately he needed a few more point to get a better starting position in the a main event. As the young Wagner would have to start his night out in P14 and work, work, and work to try and move up the ladder. After a few miscues, Samuel would come home with an 11th place result
Jack Wagner
Qualifying: 3rd in group 2
Heat Race: 2-2
Feature: 2-2
The driver of the #77 tried to hard in qualifying on the technical racetrack, which inadvertently helped him by starting 2nd in his heat. In his heat race with the track already being bottom dominate he maintained the 2nd position.
Luck was on his side when he drew the #3 starting spot for the A-main. Jack tried out every inch of the cushion on the racetrack to try and do one spot better, but the 11x of Tom Curran prevailed for his first win.
A HUGE shoutout goes to Tom Curran, been family friend of ours since we started flat track go karts and to see him get his first win was incredible! Cant wait to see what Tom and the crew can do next!!
Personal thank you goes to everyone involved with trying to make the right adjustments for the boys last night. Thank you Mon and Dad, Jack and Conny Hockett, Brett and Jackie Bybee, Madison Fry, Reagan Hockett, and David Wagner for everyone’s efforts!
As well as our partners that showed up and showed out at Valley Speedway!
