This past Friday night race showed the effects on teams from the previous race six days prior. There was three teams missing that weren't able to get there cars done in such a quick turnaround, and the ones that were there still showed some damage from the last race. It was a good thing that there was only one caution in three races. That didn't mean that guys were letting up at all though.
In the first heat race we had to start at the back due to our DQ in the last local race. The car was working good and was fast but so was the 55 and 77 so we ended up with a third place finish. In the second heat race we got a second place finish behind the 14 of Glen Hertzke. In the feature race it started off a little dicey as early on in the race it was four wide going down the front straightaway with us on the very inside. By the time cars made into turn one the cars had sorted out and it was only two wide. By about lap 10 we had made it up to second place and had to chase down the 55 car for the lead, but the 77 wasn't far behind us. By lap 15 we were running side by side with Vangool. After a hard fought battle for ten laps he got the better of us and we had to settle for a third.
This Saturday we are heading down to Kings Park Speedway in Regina for the fourth race in the Dakota Dunes Western Canadian SLM Championship Series. We don't know what to expect down there as this will be the first time to this track with a crate motor, as well they have done some re-paving since Trent was last there in 2004. The last time he was down there he won the race so we are hoping for more of the same. Qualifying starts at 5:00pm and racing starts at 6:00pm.
