hey,
Last week we had the test N Tune, witched helped out a lot, we figured that the Right Rear tire was rubbing so we put on a smaller tire witch T&A motorsports Generously let us use.
So my First race of the 2009 season was this last Saturday, with a new paint job and a newly re-figured track we where set to race. the track conditions in the hot laps being wet and rough. i figured out a good line. we changed the tire pressures before the heat and it seemed to work, starting 4th i had only gained 1 position with 2 laps to go. going into turn 3 coming to the white flag i decided to let it all hang out and went to the top side making it 3 wide for the lead. coming out of the corner i had the lead with 1 lap to go, i never looked back as i took the heat win.
the main event track conditions where dry-slick and dry-slick. I started 3rd and thats where i would finish, with this being the first race of the year, there was w whole lot of rookies out there, which made it harder to race.It was the top 3 cars in line trying to maneuver around the lap traffic, with the 4th place car at least 1/2 lap behind. with a last cation, i had 1 last chance for the win, but with the track conditions being the was they where, if i made 1 mistake i would lose at least 2 - 3 positions.
The points have not came out yet, but I'm hoping to be in 2nd or 3rd.
Thanks
Andrew
