9/5/25 & 9/6/26 Springfield Raceway
What a weekend with ups and downs. We decided to try the afco 14 series shocks for the first time on the Midwest mod. As I don’t think they are bad shocks I don’t think they are as good as my Bilstein shocks. I do think they are good for this class if everyone has to be on them.
However rolled out p3 in the third heat on Saturday night. First lap frame rail plowed the surface once we figured it out we took the lead coming to the white flap went into 1&2 and done it again tried to correct and ended up spinning out. That put me rolling out p19 for the feature and with a few adjustments we finished p4. Car had a push to it.
Sunday we start maintenance on the car and fine out RF brake is locked up so we fix the problem before the heat. Starting p7 in heat two managed to get p3. Car was still pushing and come to find out again RF brake was locked up again. Fixed the issue again so we thought. Rolled out p4 and finished p3 car was still tight go through tech and by luck of draw they are checking RF to make sure they are stopping correctly. Jacks car up and the tire didn’t even spin. Not good but pasted tech.
Downs we battled all weekend ups we finished in the top 5 and probably had a car to win the weekend had we not had the brake issues.
Thank you to my wife and our kids for all the support.
Big thank you to all the sponsors on the car this year.
