     Qualifying

     Heat Race

     Main Event

     Points Today

 

 

Qualifying - 7th

 

16.61 seconds - tied for 6th.

Not a bad time, but not so great against a really fast field tonight.

 

 

Heat Race - 4th  (15 laps - PROs only)

 

Started in 3rd position on the inside of row 2.  Right off the start we fell back a couple of positions to 5th, then quickly moved up to 4th.  The top 4 pulled away from the rest of the pack throughout the race.  We made a few attempts at passing for 3rd, but finished in 4th, ahead of our nearest rivals in the points battle.

 

 

 

Main Event - 1st  (40 laps)

 

Another flag-to-flag event!  The #3 PEPSI / Mac's Motorsports Legends Car started on the pole and we never saw a car in front of us, except lap traffic.  There was huge pressure from behind!  Thankfully we were running much faster laps than our qualifying time!  #27 Jamie Beatson was pretty much glued to our back bumper from the start, with an occasional attempt to get by. 

We started to catch lap traffic on lap 12, and spent a lot of the next 10+ laps in the second groove.  A caution at lap 24 got us all bunched up again, with clear track ahead. 

On lap 29, #27 tried to take us on the outside of corner 2 but ended up losing his position.  #67 lost his right front wheel (which was borrowed from us!!!) on lap 33, bringing out another caution.  Race City held the lap counter at 35, so the final dash was 5 laps - with #H20 glued on our bumper.  On lap 39 he drilled us hard going into corner 3 (accidentally he says) but Brent managed to hang on, finishing 1st !!!  Again !!!   :-)   

Now we're leading the points race for the Calgary Championship too!
