Making Progress

Flamboro went well for us, fast in practice and good in the heat. The top 3 were nose to tail as we moved up through the pack. We landed in the lead about 1/2 way. That's when it got interesting. A record 7 cautions. we held the lead for 6 of them, made 1 small mistake on the 7th and we ended up in 2nd. Another good night for the points race.

Sunset, starting 7 points out of 2nd place. 2nd in the heat with a really loose race car. More drifting action. Dave made a couple of adjustments and we started the feature in 9th. By 1/2 way we were in 3rd and putting pressure on those in front. We were on the outside of the second place car when he drove us up the track out of anything that resembles a racing groove. The 02 car passed us both on the inside. Now we had some extra work ahead of us. We dug deep and finished 2nd again for the 2nd week in a row. With that we move up to 2nd in points, 1 point ahead of the 66 car. Sauble beach here we come.
