ATL/Lanier

An awesome weekend began on friday at the AMS. We started the day drawing a 26 for the first race and a 1 for the second. This week was a double feature. Started 3rd in the second heat race and ended up in the third spot. I started 6th in the feature and on the start the guy beneath me spun the tires and I got to get to the bottom going into one. I passed a few cars and me and the 7 were out front and I got around him on the front straight away. I led the rest of the race and the car was awesome going into the second race just a few minutes away. I started on the pole for this one and because it was a double feature we did not have any heat races. I ended up leading the whole race and went home on Saturday with  couple wins. Sunday came along going to Lanier. We started by drawing a 32 and started in the middle of the pack and made my way to the lead but the rear end gear was burning up and it did not have much pull of the corner. The 1st and 2nd place finishers both got sent to the back because there left front ride heights were to low. I started outside pole for the feature with the 4 car on the pole. I raced him side by side for a lap or to and then got to the bottom going off into one. I got under him going out of two and took the lead coming onto the front stretch. I led the rest of the race and the car was unbelievably awesome. I want to thank everybody who worked to get this car ready to race this week, Aaron’s, Oakley, Racing Electronics, Pool Room, Bell Helmets, and my mom and dad for letting/giving me this chance to race.
