ROUND 5
Saturday, July 8, 2006
After an excellent practice Saturday morning Heather was to start 4th in the inversion in Round 5. Fast off the start, she ran in 3rd and 4th place most of the first lap. Then after the rhythm section she was pushed off the track. Still getting out in front of a few cars Heather tried to gain back her position. After making several passes a problem developed with her tear-offs. Racing 2 laps with almost no vision she attemped to clear her shield, only making vision impossible. With no warning Heather slammed into one of the concrete barriers on her last lap! She was unable to finish the race.
ROUND 6
Sunday, July 9, 2006
After a late night of repairs the 377 buggy made it back onto the starting line for Sundays race. With the front end of the car still bent badly from Saturdays accident it was a real handful to drive. Not having a good start the 377 buggy was in the back of the pack. In only an 8 lap race she did an impressive job passing her competition and finished in ninth place.
