I-55 Recap:
First off, what a cool track I-55 Federated Auto Parts Raceway Park is!! I can't wait to go back. The night started off really well by setting QuickTime in hotlaps. I started 5th in the heat race but hit the snooze button on the start, so I fell way back. I climbed my way back to 4th and passing for 3rd when the car stumbled really bad across the line. It seemed to clear back up after the checkered so I figured it just loaded up with fuel.
Sadly this was not the case. When I pushed off for the feature the car was running awfully and would barely come up off idle. I pulled in and had to watch a very exciting feature from the infield. When we got home, we noticed the top of the #3 intake valve had broken. This will put the 67B out of commission for a couple weekends but thankfully the damage doesn't appear to be any worse than just the valve.
On a positive note, we will be racing this weekend! Stay tuned to find out who's car I'll be piloting π
