Well - we finally got the car back to the track - after 5 weeks of repairs and reassembly. Just to get rained out of the feature at Owosso Speedway (and we were slated to start on the outside pole!).

But... We would definitely call today a win. As much as we repaired on the car over the last 5 weeks, we still had some major items pop up.

- First we kept starving for fuel. Apparently the foam shifted in the fuel cell in the wreck and bent/pinched off the feed line.

- Then the weld must have gotten damaged on the left side axle tube in the wreck (whole right side tube/bell was replaced after the wreck). Weld broke and let the shock/trailing arm mount shift. Had to weld that in the pits.

- Then we went out again, just to have the LF upper shock mount snap off. Had to drill that out and also weld at the track.

By that point it was time to qualify - with NO practice laps in. Amazingly, we didn't suck - 9th out of 20 cars (made the invert to start on the outside pole).

With all that, just being competitive by the time qualifying came around was a win. Took a lot of effort, but I think we are back to a good baseline again.

Thanks to NIck Clemens for cranking out all the repairs and body panels this week to get us back on the track today, and a HUGE thanks to our old quarter midget racing friends at Stanley Family Racing for bringing along the welder this week and making it available for us. Was definitely key to salvaging our race day.

Had an amazing team effort all around. Makes it a good day! ... See MoreSee Less
