Update for April-First Win of the Season!
Here we go for April- First off we opted not to go to Test-n-Tune at Thunder Mountain Speedway. I had a feeling the track would fall apart and we wouldn't learn anything, only get our equipment abused....an I was right, the track did fall apart. What we call "dirt" around here isn't really dirt; it's adobe. If you've seen it or raced on it you know what a pain it is to get prepped for racing. Very low organic content and enough alkali to reject water. My IMCA Stock Car was ready except for paint, so instead of test-n-tune we painted. The first "race" was April 12th, actually a practice race; no points, no money. Just as well no points, no money since the track fell apart again and features were cancelled since the track dusted up really bad and the water truck broke down. I started outsice front row for my heat and a heck of a battle for the lead with #47 Ed Brown ensued. After six laps of working him I finall took the lead for good. A heat race win under my belt is a good way to start the season.
Shane's new hobby stock is giving us fits. I thought I looked it over really good before we bought it , but the more I work on it and look it over themore I find things I don't like and have to fix or change it. Typical racecar situation: fix one thing and two more things rear their ugly freakin' heads. We should have hix car ready for this weekend. I'm anxious to see what the kid can do in a better car than he's ever raced.
