Wrapped up the season last night. Gearing wasn't quite there for a big track. Made it work the best I could. Third in the heat race but not without a challenge. This pic is the last lap. Turns 3/4.
Finished 3rd in the heat race. Started 5th in the feature. Finished 5th. Probably "should" have been higher but I played it conservative. I only needed to complete a lap to secure 4th place in points for the year. I already junked one motor. The backup motor got us thru the season but is drinking 2.5 quarts of oil per night. Running up higher would have helped me but also would have turned more RPM. I stayed low and played it safe until the last lap. Unfortunately, the guy in front of me was pretty unpredictable and squirrelly as all get out in the last lap. (And many others.) I'm not wadding up a truck for one more spot. It was a $10 difference at the pay window. Lol
11 scheduled races this year. After rain outs we raced in 9 (10 if you made the King of the Quarter Mile for the top six in points.) I blew up the main motor on night two so I only completed 8 of 9 races. Finished 4th in points for the season while missing a race. Pretty solid season overall. Two years in a row we have raced King of the Quarter Mile and I've made it both years. Outside the race I blew up, my worst finish was 6th place. Had some fun along the way. Ready to get caught up on work and prep for deer season.
