Husets 7-13

The ups and downs of racing fell upon us last night.

We started the heat race from the pole and got a good lead built up.  Going into turn 1 on the last lap I saw a puff of smoke come from the engine.  I immediately had the sinking feeling any local race team gets when you see something like that, but held out a little hope waiting to see what was up.  Coming off of turn 2 though I noticed Jody wasn't at full speed and knew we'd blown our engine up.  We immediately pushed the car out to the trailer as soon as the track was clear during the last heat race of the 360's and went to work on changing engines with hopes that we could get back in time for the feature.  With the help and hard work of our crew and Jody's crew we managed to get the job done!  Special thanks to all of those guys......Joe, Jake Leighty, TJ Geerdes, Trolly, Dalton, and Jody! 

We started outside the 4th row of the feature, and worked our way to 3rd in about a lap or two.  Then the rubber started to come down on the track and made it pretty tough for anyone to pass.  Luckily we found something a little lower on the track than the 1st and 2nd place cars and were able to get by them with about 4 to go for our 9th win of the year at Husets.  Jody did a great job of driving once again, and we can't thank him enough!

I wanna give a mention about Casey Abbas again.....he looked pretty darn good again last night, and really may have been the fastest car on the track last night.  As I've said here before, he'll be in the winners circle soon.
