8/13 Race re-cap
We were back at our driver's favorite track, Thunder Road International Speedbowl for our last "Thursday night fight" of the season and it sure didn't disappoint!
We unloaded the car with good speed, going p2 in round 1 and p1 in round 2 of practice. Car was a touch free but that was perfect for our driver and the track as it tends to tighten up a touch when the sun sinks to the west.
Lining up tail of the field for the 8 lap heat race, G narrowly avoided a tangle between the 78 and 19 going clear through the middle of the infield unscaved. The race stayed green and G put his nose to the grind stone and turned his fastest lap of the day chasing down the leaders. Time ran out unfortunately and he came across the stripe p4.
In Lou of it being Squire cup night and the 100 lap late model race, they added 5 laps tp the Dad's 4 By Tool & Supply kids division feature making it 20 laps! Lining up p9 of 10, G and the 56x machine got a horrible start when it appeared the car in front of him missed a shift, dragging them back a near half a track behind when the leaders took the green flag. Once G cleared the 78 and set his sights on the pack. Catching them and tagging along the inside line that was moving ahead. Once the high side cleared up, G took the 56x to the outside and set sail, realing in the leader and going to work. After a few failed attempts to pass, he set back and made a text book set up pass coming out of 4. The leader attempted to slow him down but G kept the right foot to the floor and set sail, pulling away in the final laps to take the W! His second win at T-road this season and his second win in a row at 2 different tracks! That's 4 on the season! 🏁🏁🏁🏁
An incredible night and an incredible streak G and the 56x machine are currently on makes the whole team very excited!
Thank you to all our great supporters and sponsors, were so thankful for the support week in and week out!
