GHR June 28, 2008

I was presented with the opportunity to race the Loose Gruff again, this time at Grays Harbor. The night began with great anticipation. Daric Shoemaker, my older bother was going to try first hand at driving my Superman car. Unfortunately during hot laps there was a right front tire pop, which led to the inevitable wall collision, rendering the car underivable for the evening.

As for me, I was still getting comfortable in the Gruff. In the heat race we started in 8th and finished in 2nd.

The trophy dash became a test and tune session allowing me some extra track time to make the appropriate Chassis adjustments for the main event.

The main event started with the s11 car in the 8th position in a field of 20. The track was "black-slick" (meaning it appears much like pavement, and has very little grip) this black-slick track set up the race to be single file, with little passing due to the restricted race grove. We were able to pass two cars, and finished 6th in the pack.

Make sure to check out the race video link for the feature event - they will be uploaded within the next 24 hours - Hopefully. :)
