The new quarter-panels took a hit on each side. Kind of ironic that of all the places the car had to get wrecked for the first (and hopefully the last) time was those panels we worked so hard to find and were so proud of. Oh well, that's why they call it racing. Car looked good and ran good all night. No overheating problems so it looks like we have that solved. Have to try and step up our qualifying setup. I know we can qualify better than 11th. Found out we need more gear also. Alot of the tracks we will be racing on this year Shawn has never raced on before, so all this stuff (gear selection, car setup, tire pressure, etc...) is on a little bit of a learning curve for all of us. But hey, so far it's been a blast!! We finished 8th in the feature, which was a shame cause we we a good 2nd place car and now sit 6th in the standings. This series is going to be exciting with top runners such as; Chris Marek # 3, Jay Kalbus #27, Jerry Thompson #22 and of course our own little buddy Shawn Utphall #2!
