3rd Place....twice in one week

We went to Spencer on Thursday...one of my favorite places to race. I started outside front row in the heat race and finished first. I started the feature 7th and felt we had a very good car. I had to fight to get around the driver running third and finally got around him with two laps to go. The leaders had already checked out, so ended up 3rd. A finish I am proud to have.

Saturday night was back to Algona. I started 4th in the heat race and finished 3rd. For the feature, I started 3rd and ran 2nd til about 3 laps to go. The eventual winner got a little "bump and run" to get around me so I finished 3rd.

I am very happy with the two finishes this week.

Updates........It's Been Awhile

Sorry! Summer has been busy and its seems like the blog kept getting put off!

We have had an interesting last month racing. We went to Alta to a Stock Car Shootout, a trip to Britt and the weekly travels to Algona. We won a few heat races and missed a feature win by one spot.

I really feel we are getting a handle on the stock car class but with the tough competition it still takes time. Last night at Algona we got 5th in the feature and it went on the trailer in one piece.

We are planning to travel to Spencer on Thursday to run on the clay again. Spencer is one of my favorite tracks in the hobbystock so im hoping it continues in the stock car!

Later- Josh
