Went out yesterday to Williams Grove Speedway to shake down the 410 with some of the best area drivers of 410's. Started 3rd in the feature and finished 6th.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...b65c16b060.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...128a6a022f.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...d586ebca65.jpgAttachment 9608

Late update haha, I had foot surgery yesterday morning and hadn't gotten to update anything.

Saturday we went to Port Royal Speedway to again play with the 410, to sum things up started 5th in heat finished 2nd. The top 6 inverted so we started on the pole for the feature. We held 1st for 2 laps before being passed by Lance Dewease. We held 2nd and started with 2-3 to go reeling Lance back in but just couldn't get back to I him.

Now for pictures.

Jason(my cousin) actually plays Iracing randomly,

Also for the 7th not much of an update, went back to Port Royal.

Set 2nd fastest lap times overall in heat racing. On 2nd lap guy came around and spun right in front of us, had no where to go and hit him. At which another guy went for same line and hit us. Destroyed the top wing, front wing, broke the W-link, bent front right wheel, axle, and bent/dented up the header pretty good.

ugh :(

It's just money LOL, unfortunately probably around 3-5K

But the team sponsor HorstCraft Mill Works is owned by the same guys that provide the shop and everything, I believe he uses the race car as an advertising write off for business... but I could be wrong.

Dirt track is so cool! I have never done it or even been to a race, but I used to work with a guy that was real deep into it, and he had some real good stories. There's a ton of engineering that goes into it, big props!

There are a few really big races that happen in Ohio, in Mansfield in a few weeks is a 100K to win race, and then at Eldora Speedway they have big ones as well. I would recommend just going and checking out a race nothing like watching a sprint car roll at speed(and the driver walk away of course)

Last night was season opener at Selinsgrove Speedway. As usual our shitty pill draw strikes again landing us the 63rd pill out of 63 pills, thus meaning we start in the back.

So starting 7th in our heat on the first lap, very first lap blew front brake line loosing brakes for the rest of the heat. With no brakes was still able to chip away into 5th spot.

With needing to change brake lines(found the rear was on it's way out was well) we got the car ready for the feature starting 14th.

We pushed out for the feature and battled our way up to 6th, was really, really hoping for a caution however it wouldn't come until lap 24 of 25 and just didn't have enough real estate to make any more moves finishing in 6th. Next weekend is kind of a double duty night with 360 at Port Royal Speedway and then 410 at Selinsgrove.

Threw in a few pictures of the 410, currently waiting on driveshaft to be fixed and get everything back together after breaking W-link last weekend.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...2b6c8e027d.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...e1846940ca.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...4a88da8137.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...36ff88ac4e.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...bf2e4e3b83.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...879fd2063c.jpg

Sorry for delay in updating, have alot of things going on and just forgot haha.

Saturday went to Port Royal Speedway with 360 to race against the URC. Plagued by crappy pill draw which started us in the back.

Went out for our heat race starting last and made our way up to 5th being able to get into the feature without running the B-main. Although we started 15th in that. They went 25 laps caution free and he was able to get up to 7th in the end. With some better starting position we should be able to podium finish easily.

Now Sunday, 410 race at Selinsgrove. I'll keep this short. 4th lap a driver blew tire and spun and well Jason hit him(everyone is ok and walked away) but car pretty beat up. Infact first picture is current status of the car.

Not to many pictures from the track, you see 1 picture you've seen them all.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...bca8825998.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...bb49945f9b.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...fbbb7e462a.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...86a8fa78b3.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...99286a7d81.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...a9873fd45d.jpg
