The night started off good - getting to test out the new ride, hot laps session made me feel quite comfortable with the change in cars, however when we came into the pits the crew discovered we had two dead cylinders. While fixing that we also had to fix jets and spark plugs - and during that time we missed our time trial slot, which automatically put us in the back of the pack - last.
Starting 11th in the heat race and needed to win it in order to qualify for the A Main. We finished 4th.
Starting 11th in the B Main gave us high hopes because we needed to finish 6th or better to make it into the A main. Unfortunately while continuing to work on the race car engine problems we were unable to make chassis adjustments that were needed due to the change in the race track.
While racing in the B main we ended up taking the checkered flag in the 8th position, just outside the transfer slots ending our night at Cottage Grove.
