Saturday-April 28th

Another great night of racing......

I finished 2nd in the heat race and started 11th for the feature. The track is lining up by points again this year and since I was 2nd last week, I started in the 6th row.

On the first lap someone lost an axle and spun out in front of me. I didn't have anywhere to go and ended up with some front end damage. After Dan Eaton, Brent Svuba, and Kent Haugland pulled off the nose piece and front bumper, I restarted at the rear of the pack. The car was fast and I ended up passing about 16 cars to end with a 3rd place finish.

Algona-April 21, 2007

This is the way to start the season..........


I finished 2nd in the heat race and started on the pole for the feature. I led the whole race through 6 cautions. On the last corner of the last lap I hit a rut and went high and Calvin Lange passed for the win. Congrats to Calvin!

I was very happy with the way the car performed and am looking forward to the rest of the season.
