We pulled into Peterborough Speedway at 2:00PM for the one day event to bright, sunny skies. When the car hit the track for first practice, it was apparent we had a loose off condition to fix and by the end of second practice, we were confident the car would be good in race conditions.
Kevin went out first for qualifying and had problems on the first lap which affected his second, putting us 12th of 16. The car had been faster during last practice so we weren't too concerned with this result.
We started the first 50 on the outside of Row 6 and after the 3 quick cautions in the first 10laps, we restarted in 8th(WooHoo). We were running 6/7th when the car started to go away. Apparently, we had some work to do for the second 50.
We made three changes to the car and started the second 50 on the inside. Unlike the first, this race stayed green up to lap 26. At that point, running 8th, we had lost track position getting around slower cars, and were in danger of losing a lap. With the caution tightening the field, we were looking forward to picking up some more positions when the skies opened up, and ended the race.
A great day of racing for us. This car is a couple years old and our first ever in-house front clip. We're finally getting a chance to see what it's like on the track. The car responded well to changes but we need to tweak the setup a little to get some more speed out of it.
