I-96 Speedway, May 25, 2007

Another enjoyed trip to I-96. Some new graphics to the 2007 Impala SS and rubber ready to race. Position draw once again was back if the field for the heat, but that did not stop the WHEEL! The 8 lap heat was fast. Only few cautions, just enough to tighten the field and grab 2nd place a couple laps later and finish there. After the 2 heats there was a re-draw for the top 8 heat finishers to position the front of the feature field. Once again it was not the best pick, the 95.1 "The Rock" car started 6th. The 20 Lap feature had a few cautions, once almost collecting our car as another driver who was spun high in turn 3. Wheel just miss the car and went over the turn 3 bank. The car was ok and we were able to continue. At one point after spinning out with another car, the 95.1 car climb from the back on restart to 6th. The front 6 cars ran close for the final 6 laps. Traction was at a premium as it was getting very dry and slippery. Once again our car likes the bottom. Our finish was 7th. Another excellent road trip.

The weather was cool (below 50F). A great night for making power! The track was slick-dry in places, but the racing grove provided some good bite that propelled the Corn Car to it's first feature win of the year. The Cornstock crew did a great job making adjustments to meet the track conditions as the night progressed. Special thanks to the Sponsors, Jim for his words of racing wisdom, John N. for lending a hand and Crewman. Also thanks to the many fans that came to the bus after the race. Way to go Wheel! Lets do it again! Looking forward to the new graphics.

SBR Action

Opening night at Canada's Fastest 3/8 mile. South Buxton Raceway. The 2007 corn car appears to be working well in its only 2nd night out. The corn car finished 3rd in the heat. The night ended early in the feature with a flat right rear. Cool action video can be seen on U-tube - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GRhbl095250. See all the track next time.

I-96 Speedway trip

The air was cool this night. The car final got a chance to warm it's tires, as this was the first night on a track. Position draw pre-race put the the corn car near the back of the 3rd and final heat. The track was a little on the slick side tonight. However there where many placed to race on the 1/2 mile. Heat results ended in a late aided spin, the corn car would have to start the feature near the rear. Having found some comfort for the new car and making some minor changes to the tires and rear suspension set up, it was time to go racing. Seat time was order of the day as several yellows where thrown during the race. The car car moved forward a few spots. The cool thing was the car liked the bottom of the track, hugging the inner tires. Well... so did many other drivers, as moisture was available down there. All said, it was a successful trip. Oh ya! Everyone had bus envy!
