Race Recap: Kid’s Night @ Sunset Speedway 6/7/2025

Race Recap!!!

What a night! We had a great time at kids night and having everyone sign the car. Thank you everyone that came out!

We have been trying to get used to the new way of 4-bar racing and figure out how to get some drive at the same time. We found it 😀. Heat race was loose but we fixed it for the main and had 2nd but made an error around lap traffic into 3-4 and lost a few spots jumping the cushion. I’ll take a mistake over chasing a mishandling car any day.

What that mistake also led to was a .008 difference between 1st and 2nd at the checkered flag. What a finish! Green to checkered was glorious and hopefully we can take this momentum to make the show at the speedweek finale.

We did get a little warm on water temp and realize a water pump gasket failed so hopefully we will fix that and all will be good.

Thanks to my mom and brother for coming out and hanging with us.

And of course, thank you to our help this year:

Race Recap: Fan Appreciation Night: Struggles

Race Recap!

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. 😀
