place with 4 laps to go and the guy behind us wanted that position more than we
did. We were tapped from behind and spun which brought out the yellow. Luckily

laps to go we still finished 10th.
Saturday June 2 - Lake Geneva Raceway,
Lake Geneva WI
We put new breaks on the Mid-American car so we took the car to Lake
Geneva for a non points show to use it as a test session. There were 15 cars and
because of the rain there were no time trials. We were lined up by points which

it a night before we could finish the Feature.

Sunday July 1 - Grundy County Speedway,
Morris IL
We qualified 3rd out of 21 cars. The heat race we started 3rd row inside

had to start outside for the Feature and wanted to get set up for that. Car did
not handle in the outside groove and had to make changes for the Feature. The
Feature we started 6th row outside and worked our way up into 8th place. On the
last lap coming into turn 3 we were tagged from behind and spun. Evidently in
this division if you want the spot bad enough you just take the car out and you
get the spot?!?!? We ended up finishing 16th.

Sunday August 12 - Milwaukee Mile, West
Allis WI
I think every Mid-Am car in the country showed up for this show!! There
were 56 cars total. The top 18 in time, top 6 in points that did not make it in
time and the top 6 in the last chance race made the Feature. We timed in 13th
out of 56 cars!! It was a 40 lap Feature and we started 7th row outside and
finished 24th. We made the wrong call on gear and just did not have enough horse
power down the straight away's. Although we did not do real well in the Feature
we were happy to make the show through time and get the chance to race on the
Milwaukee Mile.

had so far in Mid-American.

We qualified 24th out of 29 Mid American cars. Had to run the last chance
race because we did not make it by time. The last chance race we started 3rd row
inside and finished 3rd. Top 3 make it to the feature so we made the 50 lap

up 9th. Because we had 2nd in time we did not have to run the last chance race
