Dav Weekend at seekonk speedway

This past weekend I raced at Seekonk Speedway for the DAV weekend. The plan of the night was to re-learn the car with the new clip and stay out of trouble. We went into the first practice going to feel the car out and making sure nothing would fall off. As i got more into the run I kept picking it up to full power. Right before the end I got on the throttle hard. Car was tight out due to lack of stagger but it felt awesome to go hard after not racing for 5 weeks.



We made changes to grow the stagger in the rear and went to get ready for the 2nd practice. Due to time constraints we would only get one practice which was upsetting but we moved on and got ready for the heat race.



In the heat race I started 6th. On the start I fell back to 7th and gave myself some room away from the field to feel out my car. I passed the 86 car and started to bring the field back in. With 4 to go we would have a caution for the 86 stopping on the track with engine problems. On the start I missed up the shift but regained myself and caught up to the field again. I wasn't pushing the car hard so i stayed in 6th place to keep my nose clean.



For the feature I would start last, in 14th place. On the start I once again kept a little distance from the field. After an easy lap 1 I started to pick it up. I got by the 32 car and started to go for the 75 car and my first limited win. On lap 5 we would see our first caution for a spin. I restarted 11th. This time I stayed up close to the field but kept an eye out just in case a wreck started. I would get passed by the 5 car but fell into line and started running laps.



Around lap 6 would see a battle between me and the 75 car starting. Gaining every bit I could I got by the 75 car at lap 12 to claim the 10th position. From there, I started to run down more and more cars. 2 cars would drop off the pace and leave the track.



At lap 17 we would have our second and final caution for a broken car on the front stretch. I would restart in the 7th position. On the start I spun the tires but didn't lose any ground. It would take me a lap and half to clear the 75 again but after that I had no troubles and brought the car home in one piece and in 7th position.



With that finish I would get my first pro 4 mod limited division win and grab 2nd in the limited points. I would also move to 9th in the overall points standings. With my first limited win I have to thank my dad for all he did to get my car back on track from the last time we were at Seekonk and wrecked. Next week we will be at Thompson. Stay tuned for more exciting news.
