In-Car video from Night of destruction last night at Perris Auto Speedway. The track was watered right before the heat race so there was absolutely no grip. Poor Honda was spinning tires through 2nd gear! Pretty good main even overall, but hard to catch the tuned cars. There were a couple of times I could catch their group through the infield, but they were gone once we hit the front stretch. Only damage on the car is a flat right rear, not quite sure when it even happened, but I’m going to blame that for the spin into turn 1! Fun night for the first time out this year and easy fix to head out again soon.
First of all, huge thanks to Mike Graham at Perfection Automotive for being around for us when we made a last minute decision to run this weekend.
Thursday we looked over everything and got things ready for testing some oil pressure gauges and found the new stepper gauge is faulty, or maybe the sender. We’ll look into it deeper the next few weeks we have off.
Made it to the track and was very hopeful the track would stay heavy as it was in hot laps; however, it did not. Made some changes and just couldn’t get it right and sucked big time in the main. Huge apology to Chaz Wilder for getting into him off 4 and damaging the RR quarter panel. Completely messed up and just couldn’t get my head right after.
We love running against all the guys that were there and even though we didn’t take anyone out, getting into his panel was just dumb. Went back and watched our replay and confirmed I just flat out sucked.
As we can’t get to the track for a month or so, we plan to go through everything and try some different things to get this thing going back in the right direction.
Had fun during the fan appreciation period of the night, and we have some glorious ideas for the next one. Shoutout to Alanna Day-Wood for making those goodie bags on the fly.
