Veocity bit us. It was our worst night in the Mods points wise since June of 2014. The car was awesome in the final hot laps. Corey Horner and I were tied for 2nd in the points. He had a great night and we had our worst in some time. Even though our car was fast, we could not avoid being spun out twice, once in the first heat that resulted in much of our front end getting beat up, and we got spun again in the feature after moving from 20th to 10th, we were trying to pass 10th at the time. We finished 12th in the feature, now we’re 19 points out of 2nd, I know anything can happen, but that is a huge gap to close and our concern now is finishing in the top 3, and that lead is slim over 4th. It was still a good night for us, we have one more OSCAAR points race left at Autumn Colors on Thanksgiving weekend. Not giving up on our chase for 2nd, just going to race as hard and clean as we can.
We had this celebration after the races. Just want to say thank to Lloyd and Suzette for making this cake for me to celebrate our 750th night in a row, and our 1199th career night of racing.
From left to right are Corey, Billi, me, Lloyd and Daryl. The Horner boys, the team we were tied with prior to Saturday night, are awesome friends, and they we be our only crew at Octoberfest where we will reach our 1200th night. None of our team can make this race, as has been all season, but I am thankful when they could make it out. Lloyd has been awesome but he has a family event to attend but will be at Peterborough for the Autumn Colors Classic.
