Grant County Speedway 7/26/09

The night before we got a bunch of hail and rain, so we weren't sure we were even going to race today, but they managed to get the track in shape. I went out for hot laps and the car seemed to be running good, but when we went to go out for our heat race the car wouldn't go into gear. So my dad crawled under the car and started adjusting the clutch trying to figure out what the problem was but even after the adjustments it still wouldn't engage. So for the feature we had to push the car back and I just started it in gear to get it going and we just planned on running a lap or two to get some points. After I started it in gear the car started shifting fine, so I realized we might have a chance. I had to start last because I didn't make it out for my heat race, but I managed to make it up to 3rd, and at the end of the race when I pulled in to scale the clutch was pretty well done for. Were pretty sure it's just the throwout bearing, but once we tear it apart later today we will know. Thanks for stopping by.

We hadn't raced in two weeks, so what better to do than throw a bunch of new setups changes at the car? Well it turned out that what we tried worked, and I won both my heat and feature races. I kept this blog short because I finally got my camera, so here are the heat and feature videos from that night.
