Friday night Mercer;
Makup-
2nd; Regular 8th
Wayland NY 8/17- What a long day it was, not just the racing but the travel. We left Wayland
around 11:30 AM and we arrived back in Wayland this morning around 3:30. It brought back memories of sprint car touring.
We fought a tight condition all night. In
hot laps Kyle was fast but the track was smooth. During the first feature the track developed ruts which in turn made the
car tight when it was going through them. Well this condition continued to get worse throughout the night. As Kyle said later
"we were one step behind the changes." That about sums it up. Even though 2nd is something to feel good about we
knew we could have done better.
In the regular show Kyle finished second in the heat. He started 4th in the feature but was turned on a lap 9 restart in turn
two. If Our car was working a little better this might not have happen because he could have pulled away from them. Anyway...
to the back of the full field of car. The drive was on to get back to the front. We saw some real racing out of Kyle at that
point passing cars on the high side or low even with a car that wasn't what it should have been. Kyle crossed the line
in 8th. I guess that when you get a top ten finish on your worse night things aren't to bad.
Up next... season finals at McKean this Saturday
night. Hardly seems possible.
