A weekend recap of 2 days of racing the Modified Clash at Grays Harbor Raceway .
Saturday heat 3A, started 8th and finished 3rd, heat 3B started pole and finished 2nd. Made the top 8 redraw and drew a 5th starting position in the 24 car main. Made it to forth but fell back and finished 8th. A good start to the weekend.
Sunday:
Started pole in heat 1A and finished 3rd, heat 1B we started 8th and got wiped out in turn 1. Broke rear suspension and tore up body.
My crew of Dan Jansen, Landon Pruett, Jeremy Breymeyer, Mike Harrit, and I pieced it back together in time for the B main.
Started 4th in B main and finished 2nd transferring us into the A Main show starting 22nd.
Started passing cars not knowing where we were, caution came out around lap 24 and the track put lap cars in the line up with lead cars leaving me at the tail end of lead lap, 24 cars behind leader. We took off and passed more cars, some for the 2nd time, not knowing if they were lapped cars or position cars and made it through all 35 laps.
After several reviews from grays harbor staff, I got the final word on Monday that we tied for Hard Charger Award from Elma Lanes by moving up 9 positions to finish 13th.
Want to thank my crew chief Dan, Scherer Motorsports for the borrowed shock, Peggy Harding, and Landon Pruett for all thier help and support.
I couldnt do what i do without the support of my partners Dodge Excavation, WRD, Vaughan, East County Automotive, Razor Chassis by Roth, FGX, Central Welding, Iverson and Sons, my brother Kevin, and Amsoil. Thanks again for the support for this team.
We are still learning this car and setup but I'm sure we will be right there racing for the W here soon.
Thanks to the photographers for the amazing photos.
