Jerod's 600 debut

Jerod started his firs 600cc race this past Saturday in the restrictor class at US24 speedway. He did a fine job of making laps in the car and keeping his line as he picked up speed from the beginning of the night to the end. He is excited about the bigger car and now just needs a lot more laps in it.

8/26

Car ran in Sr class again. Arrived in just enough time to run heat and finish second. Finished second in the dash and was run into on the start of the feature breaking a shock mount and ending the night.

A win for the new car.

We were unable to get the pedals moved on the 600 this past week in time for Jerod to race it. This left Jeremy to race it in the Sr non wing class and the open winged class this past Saturday evening at the Miami County Speedway. In the wing class he finished 5th in his heat and was running 8th in the 22 car field when the car developed a miss that forced him out of the event. In the non wing class, Jeremy went from an 8th place start to finish 2nd. He won the dash for cash by inches. In the feature event he started 4th and was able to capitalize with the leaders running into trouble in lapped traffic to win the race. Hopefully we can have Jerod behind the wheel this coming week.

Car Tested

Dear ole' dad tested the new 600 for Jerod this past weekend. On Saturday night Jeremy started 7th in a winged class heat and finish 5th. He started 15th in the feature, but did not complete the event. In the non-wing senior class he started 6th in a heat race and came up to 3rd. Starting 7th in the feature, Jeremy finished 5th in the running order. On Sunday evening Jeremy ran the winged class and finished 3rd in the heat and 10th in the feature. All in all a decent weekend and the car is now being converted over for Jerod to run the restrictor class.
