Day 1 of Mirages 2 day event. Very wet this weekend but the rain has been staying out of the forecast all day. Only ran 1 heat then a Main to get locked into the Pole dash on Saturday. Meaning Top 2 in the A main get lock into the Pile dash then Saturday. Only Racing 3 cars this weekend. Midget, Midwest Modified, 13.5T Late Model. I mounted up some brand new Whitzs WideOpens Soft, and been using the new Sauce Steve sent me from Scuff Racing, the tires on all the cars have been gripped up all night. Have not had any problems with traction.
Midget- I think I have this car wanting to turn and burn, think I can go up a tooth on pinion since temps are not to high, car was doing good all night, ended p2 in the A main meaning I am locked in to the Pile Dash
13.5T Late Model- this car has been my struggle the last few month trying to chase gearing trying not to power fade half way through the main. But tonight was different. I tried a 75/35 at Nescar in Grand Island and it ran great, decided to keep gearing the same coming into this weekend to see what happened, well I think I found where my motor loves to be. Spragg and I battled all night for 1st in the Heat and Main event, finished 2nd. Locked into the Pole Dash
Midwest Modified- This car was on fire for the heat. Car was fast and consistent. I has hitting all my marks. Main event came started P1 15 Laps into the Main my car just dropped all power while I was entering into turn 1 and I had a dead car on the track, and boom get smack pretty good. DNF on the Main event going to do some trouble shooting before the races tomorrow. We will see if I can make the ground up on Saturday.
All in all great time racing tonight can’t wait to see what happens tomorrow.
