Top-10 Finish at Lorain

Due to time constraints this past week, I was not able to change rear end gears for Lorain. So we headed there with 3.42 gears, normally used at Barberton Speedway, which are a little high for Lorain. The result was a car that was seriously loose all night long with the motor dropping out of the power band coming off the turns. But, as I told a number of people at the track, "I would rather be here with the wrong gears than not be here at all."

I finished 5th in the Heat, after bringing out the yellow flag for my spin in Turn 2. I finished 10th in the Feature, fighting the car for the entire race. I was pleased with the outcome, given the circumstances.

Thanks to Dave Spotton for all his help tonight.

Next week, we are off to Barberton again. See you there.
