Happy New Year Everyone

Well the new year is here. Here at Trackside we had a special race called the Red Eye Race. doors opened up at 7:00 A.M.. Talk about an earlier start to the new year. But all is well I got to the track about 7ish and started getting ready to race. I had the legendary Paul Lemeuix look at my car and he said it was money and not to change a thing. So I went back to my pit and did nothing until the race started. First of Three qualifiers went good made some mistakes but was able to drive and keep the wheels on the ground. The second and third qualifiers went just as good. I ended up 3rd overall which to me that is good since I am more of an off road racer than on road. the race went really good I was able to keep following first and second place racers.than second cut the corner short and hit the pipe I was able to go around him. I was gaining on first then I hear Race is over and that was it couldn't catch him. But I made a good run at it. So I ended up finishing second with a 20 in a 5:04. I was caught at the line and first was able to go one more lap otherwise I might have been able to get 21 laps. After the race is when I noticed that we ran for 5 mins instead of the usually 4 mins sportsman run. The 17.5 class was running an average of 21 to 22 laps in 5 mins. So I am happy because I am not to far off the pace. well there will be more reporting from the Novak race preparation. keep tuned I am hoping to keep my blog up to date.
