Saturday 8/16...

Wow, racing is A LOT of work and staying competitive is even harder! Last year we were just trying to keep up, this year we are trying to win races and stay in the top 5! We are still playing with setup every week, trying to get the car dialed in so Mike can get back in the top three for points and win some more races. This weekend was no different. Mike qualified 5th fast and got 2nd in his heat. He was feeling better about the car after his heat than he had all day. Before the main event the crew made a few changes to the car hoping to make him even faster. He started in the 7th position (because of his win last race he had to start in the back of the invert) and looked good off the start, but the car wasn't coming out of the corners well at all. He could get into the corners and catch up with the cars in front of him, but lost it in the straight-aways. He ended up in 6th position overall and remains 4th in points. Theres still time to get back into that 3rd position. Mike, Rob and Andy worked on the car all day Sunday to get it ready for next weeks race! Next weekend is the start of the fair...can't wait! Oh and mark your calendars...on 8/30 we have a double header and all three Holden men will be racing together for the first time!
