Much better at Varney

The smallest track we race is Varney. The high Banked oval produces great racing lines but it makes it difficult to pass. For the first time in Pro Challenge we ran Twin 25 lap features. 25 before the intermission and 25 after. We started 3rd last in the field of cars and worked really hard to make up some ground. At the end of 25 laps we were in 3rd place. A few quick adjustments to the car during the break made it much better on corner entry. We started 3rd and made a pass around the outside to get 2nd spot. From there we pressured the leader and tried several attempts to get by. The driver in front did a great job, making no mistakes and driving a line I could not get past.
This was a much greater finish for our team and we were one of 3 cars to post lap times in the 13 second range all night.
Maybe this spare motor is pretty good after all.
Up next 2 trips to Sunset Speedway.
