| This weekend we decided to try a new track and facility so we
headed east towards Mansfield Speedway for a double-header. Mansfield was
formerly a pavement track; over the winter, however, they ripped all the
asphalt up and put dirt down, bringing it back to its original state.
Unfortunately, as we were driving over, storms began to build and eventually
hit Mansfield just as we were preparing to unload. The rain was unfortunate,
but we made the best of a bad situation and headed over to the Ohio State Reformatory,
the prison where Shawshank Redemption was filmed, for some sight-seeing to
pass the time. Saturday greeted us with some much better weather and with a pit
full of cars, we were ready to get the night going. We drew heat race #4, the
last heat race of the entire night. It was the toughest heat, but we were
able to set quick time which would line us up 4th. In the heat, we
got a good start and were able to grab 2nd coming out of turn 2
and, despite our best efforts, we just weren’t able to catch the leader.
After the re-draw, we lined up 7th for the start of the feature
and decided to try a couple things with the set up that unfortunately hurt us
and we wound up with a 12th place finish. We learned from what we
tried and will get back to a couple local tracks this weekend with
Bloomington and Lawrenceburg! | |
