South Buxton Raceway 070707 (July 7, 2007)

There was nothing lucky about the number 7 for it being 070707. The number has some significance for the Wheel man. The number 7 was his career hockey number. It also happens to be his daughter Sarah's birthday. Unfortunately the Cornstock Motorsports team has to record a DNF. The night started out fantastic. The ailments from last week are gone after several hours on the scales. The heat win was swift. A follow up win in the Pursuit race confirmed the set up was dialed in. The MOD Pursuit race seemed to be over quick or few laps short. Starting position in the Feature race was 8th. A few laps in and the march forward started. A caution found Corn in 6th outside of the 5 car of C. Coulter. The outside line was fast, but rough. A few laps later the 95.1 car was found in the 2nd spot, about 1/2 a straight behind the 47 of J. Brousseau. Then the car just quite running and would not restart. The final placement was 10th. The crew thinks it could be the ignition system, but once back at the speedshop the diagnosis will begin. The bright side to all this is that the car handle excellent tonight. Next week we are the mouse once again in the Pursuit race. Here is Crewman's quote pick of the week. It sounds allot like what we do now. "We drove for the sheer fun of driving because there wasn't that much money to be made." - Richard Petty.
