After getting rained out at Varney I was able to head to Flamboro Speedway to spot for Jay Linde who was driving my Late Model. I asked Jay a few months ago if he would like to drive and he said he would.
I was very concerned about him racing our car without a good spotter. As it turned out I would be spotting and guiding him through his first ever stock car race.
He made two practices on Tuesday night at Flamboro, but with no one else on the track. He got a quick baptism to racing once he took the oval with other cars in the first of two hot lap sessions. It was overwhelming for him, but he did very well in his first feature, finishing 13th of 16.
The second feature was cancelled due to a hydro issue. He will run his postponed feature on June 25th, it will be the first race out and I will run the rest of the night, racing in the regular scheduled program.
Overall I was very happy with Jay and his efforts. He listened to me and the car came off the track unscathed.
