Dear Race Fans and Sponsor House friends,
Saying "Team Wildman Racing has had it's share of BAD race days this season." is a understatement. But, this last weekend wasn't one of them. The sun was out most of the day helping Mrs. Wildman Sr. with the "All important task of IMAGE taking". The temps were frigid, almost in the teens, but The Wildman was HUNGRY to make both his FINAL's.
Out of 19 "Champ 120 sleds" that entered the Champ class only 6 were going to the FINAL. Nick won his first HEAT race and took 2nd in his last two Heat races to barely qualify. Nick worked his sled to it's full potential and swapped some paint here and there to pull a 6th place finish. This race class has some serious competition being brought every week and somebody is always finding more speed or a quicker HOLE SHOT over the week before. Just to make the Final is a miracle in it's self. Great Champ 120 racing Nick!!!
The Formula-1 class is as competitive but not as many sleds. We spent a lot of time dialing in the "XXX Jack ShaftleSS Chassis" and showed up confident that we finally brought a Formula-1 that would have a solid HOLE SHOT with TOP end clutching. Nick advanced to the final with ease. We, by luck of the draw, got lane #1 which is the worst lane for a F-1 race. Nick's reaction time was a little better than it should of been (Jumped the gun), so on the 2nd restart of the FINAL he didn't want to chance leaving the line early which delayed his squash of the FLIPPER (throttle). He came into corner #1 dead last and kept the FLIPPER squashed the whole race to coast into third while bringing some serious HEAT to 2nd place, which was a sled length from the winner.
Next week Team Wildman Racing will be competing in "The Minnesota State Kid's Pro-ICE Championships" Sat & Sun at Prior Lake, MN. We feel confident that we will make our Sponsors proud and do very well.
I will BLOG results next week! :0)
