Friday Night Review

I am proud to say that we have figured some things out for time trials and did really well Friday night. We were 9th fastest overall in practice and timed in at 17.327 and placing us in 6th place. I was very pleased and to be honest, it made my night despite us sinking ourselves in the heat race. We just made an honest mistake and misread the track. We took the rest of the night and used it as a learning session, especially after getting caught up on the opening lap wreck in turn 3 and 4.

It felt like we would have had a good car for the feature until that wrecked set us back a good ways. Kind of took the wind out of my sail, but you know, that's racing and we don't stop fighting till the race is over...

Like I said, to time in 6th fastest against the World of Outlaws is a huge accomplishment for us. That shows we're making small leaps and getting better. It so freaking tough having a young team with absolutely no sprint car experience at all go out there and beat guys who have been in this game for 10, 20, 30+ years. It's crazy! If we learn something that will benefit us after each and every race, then we're heading in the right direction.
