Title: my newest endeavor
Post by: jarrodH on September 16, 2014, 02:25:21 AM
heres my first attemp at driving the car. first time it was started was at the track in practice.. my first actuall laps were the 3 for qualifying.. had maybe 12 laps in the car before the main event. couldnt ask for anymore on a debut night with a untested car. fired right up, no leaks(except one crocked lower rad hose clamp). and in my first ever race, didnt crash, didnt get laped, and didnt finish last..lol

Car looks good jrod.     Once you get some new rubber on the car, and get used to driving it, I am pretty sure you will move up the ranks..

I was wondering what you were doing with that stuck to the back of your truck on Saturday.

Sounds like the perfect 1st race day.

I was there pitting for the #58 Dwarf car on Saturday night and witnessed your first race in a Sprint Car.  I was very impressed with your first time out driving a Sprint Car and first time out for your car.  I could see you improving lap after lap.  Like you said, you didn't come in last!  Don't forget! you started your racing career at Speed Zone Raceway!

BTW, I took some cell phone video from pit level, if you would like it I have it on a stick for you.
