Weekend Results 8/12 & 8/13
Lake Erie (8/12):
Rain halted what appeared to be a good run for the #51 Late Model on Friday night. Dave was running 4th on lap 18 of 40 when the rain came causing the race to end just 2 laps shy of a finish. (they need to run 50% of the race to call it a finish in case of rain) No word as of yet when the remainder of the race will be made up.
Lancaster (8/13):
Saturdays race day proved to be more hectic then usual, but all the work payed off in the long run as the #5 had another great run. The day was going fairly smoothly until the heat race. On the second lap coming out of turn 2 the steering rack locked up solid preventing Dave from straightening out the wheel, Dave made an incredible save and kept the heat race going green. Two laps later after it had seemed to fix itself the steering locked up again, but Dave continued and finished the heat race just riding around so that he still qualified for the feature. This is where the mad dash started to get the car ready for the feature, we had to replace the entire steering system, which prevented us from attenending the autograph session. SORRY TO ANY FANS WHO WERE LOOKING FOR US. We had to get the car together so that we could race the feature, and fans feel free to come over to our pit after the race and get your autographs. All the work paid off in the end as Dave had another dominating performance driving away from the field much like he did 2 weeks ago. There was only one difference this week.....we were behind the #22 car. Bobby Holmes fresh off his sportsman win earlier in the night, started on the outside of the front row and took the lead early on with Dave right in his tire tracks. The two young guns pulled a full straightaway lead on 3d place and ran the entire 30 laps under green nose-to-tail. Dave stayed right on Bobby's bumper but was unable to make a move for the lead as Bobby ran a great race and appeared to have a little more off the corner. Congrats to the #22 car for their first mod win, we looking forward to slugging it out the rest of the season.
