This weekend we raced at Sugar Hill Speedway. But this time we had new tires, the same engine as everyone else and a new set of gears and a new float sprocket, so we were ready to go. Once we got to Sugar Hill Speedway we unloaded and we were ready to go. The first practice went pretty bad because once we got onto the track the chain immediatly fell off for some reason so I pulled into the infield and waited for the track official to fix it. But then once I got back on the track it fell off again! Which was pretty annoying. So this time I pulled off the track so my Dad could fix it. So once my Dad fixed it and I went out for my second practice which went really well. In the heat race we did pretty well too, we were pretty compettitve and finished third out of four cars!!! Finally in the feature race we started third and moved up a spot immediatly and actually held onto second spot from lap one to lap five or ten. But then we got passed and finished the race third not to bad considering the fact that I was up against two kids who had three more years of experience and one kid who had the same amount of experience as me.

Sugar hill speedway 8/23/09
Last weekend we raced at Sugar Hill Speedway. We were at the disadvantage from the start because we were running a totally different engine (Box Stock instead of WKA Blueprinted) which wasn't as fast as all the other engines people had there. The first practice went pretty good because we set our fastest lap and I think that really encouraged us. The second practice went even better because we got even faster. Then, in the heat race we got even faster but came in fourth because our engine disadvantage. Finally, in the feature we were pretty fast but weren't fast enough for the leaders so we finished fourth. But pretty good for our engine disadvantage.
