Blacksun Recap

It's been three weeks since our last race and we have had time to cool down from a disappointing 8th place finish in the Blacksun 150.  The finish was not an indication of how good our car was that night. The #70 LA Weight Loss Chevy Impala was definitely a top three car with a great chance to win the race, but around the 50 lap mark of the race the rear of the car had a small fire and had to be put out by the safety crew. Once the car was back on the track it took a while for the speed to come back but in the last 50 laps we were back up to speed and charging through the field.  Trent got the car all the way up to fourth position but because of a questionable call from the tower we were scored one lap down from an altercation with an official.  So with that we settled for an eighth place finish.

This coming Saturday we will be running in the Propane Plus 150, which is the third stop for the Dakota Dunes Western Canadian SLM Championship Series.   Going into the event we are sitting in third place with a thirteen point deficit to make up on leader Trevor Emond in 17 car.  We are hoping with some of the changes that we have made from last race that we won't have any issues this time.  This is a big race for us because the title sponsor of this race is Propane Plus Automotive. This is our crew chiefs business that he owns and operates. So we want to do extremely well for this event.  Racing is this Saturday, the gates open at 4:30pm, with qualifying starting at 5:00pm and the green flag drops at 6:00pm.
