Our first ever Mike Stevens Memorial was a good run for us, though almost a disaster….thanking my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for keeping me safe and having His Angels guard over me and all the racers, staff, fans and families.
Thanks to Brian Birt for this photo.
On about lap 78 I felt a loud clunk followed by something smashing through the hood. I stopped in turn 4 thinking I lost something in the engine, pulleys, pump or some driveline part. Check the hood close and you can see on the left side, not far from the drivers side windshield, a piece sticking up about 4″ tall and 3″ wide….the size of a chunk of lead. While sitting there the car was idling fine and all the gauges were showing no issues.
I headed to the pits and our crew checked everything over, made some repairs, taped the hood down (it was bad) and sent me out.
The full story and pictures of how serious this freak mishap could have been, will be on the Message Board soon. Go to the Message Board, click on General Chat and then on Dairy of a Season 2020. I should have the full story up by tomorrow….we are working on the car tonight.
