Algona-June 24th

Algona Raceway
Algona, IA

It turned out to be a beautiful night for racing in Algona Saturday night. There was a rain shower that passed over before the races started. There was still a threat of rain, so they decided not to run any hot laps. The track started out greasy in the heat race. And ended up being dry for the feature. I started 7th in the heat race and finished 6th. I started 11th in the feature and worked my way up to 2nd. By the time I got to 2nd the driver in the 1st position was too far ahead to close the gap. There are some races where you need an extra couple laps and there are races you wish would end a couple laps sooner!

I did not race on Saturday night since I couldn't find an axle to replace the broken one.

June 10, 2006

Algona Raceway
Algona, IA

I started 6th in the feature, but got shuffled to 9th on the start. The track was super dry. I went to the high side. I got the car to hook-up and headed to the front of the pack. At the end of the race, I lost by about 6 inches. But if I had to lose, I would rather lose to George than anyone else.
