Three, Two, Won !!!!!!

Flamboro Speedway has always been a special place for the apprenticesearch.com race team.  This past race was a perfect night for us.  A Grisdale Late model triple crown event  was shared with our Pro Challenge cars.  In front of a packed grandstand, pit area and a jammed VIP suite we started our heat race in last place.  The line up is set based on feature finishing avaerages.  So far this season we have the best average, so we start at the rear of the field.  This is tough as we are in 2nd place in the points, yet the driver we are chasing starts ahead of us.  We wasted no time in the heat and needed to gain some valuable points.  A quick jump on lap #2 put us into 2nd place and a lap later we took the lead.  We faced a very slippery track, due the hot weather and all the extra late models. Taking the heat win was a big effort that we are proud of.  We lined up in 6th position for the feature.  After several fast laps our car became better in the turns.  Small adjustments after the heat really paid off.  We passed all the drivers and took the lead before lap 10.  We had to keep a close eye on the field behind us, but the car was just great.  Probably the best car I have ever driven at Flamboro.  We won the big 30 lap feature and had a huge celebration after.  Thanks to All my crew for their support and encouragement.  I would not be able to challenge for wins without thier hard work.  Sunset is next and hopefully another great weekend.
