Open Wheel Modified Results: Tonight we were racing the modified only and the team was ready.  The car has been handling well and the Vaseleniuck Engine continues to provide strong power.  We went out for the first and second practices on old tires.  We still had great times, in the heat of the day, posting four unofficial laps times well under the track record of 13.99 for the modifieds.  We made a minor adjustment to the sway bar and track bar between practice sessions hoping to get even better results and we weren't disappointed.
     There were 22 cars and we were in the first heat of 11, starting at the end of the pack because we did not have a four week average.  In the eight lap sprint we finished 8th and came back to get ready for the feature. 
     The feature was quite exciting.  The track had advertised a demolition derby for the evening's finale, but some of the modifieds wanted to try their hand at demolitions in their race as well.  Of the 22 cars that started, only 15 were still on the track at the end.  There were wrecks, spins, sparks and tempers, but our team managed to get through all relatively unscathed.  
     We had moved to 15th by the first caution, 13th on the second, 11th by the fourth, 10th by the fifth and 7th by the time the sixth and final caution flag flew in the twenty lap race.  With a two lap shoot out remaining, we were hopeful of getting a top ten finish and a great start to our next six weeks of racing.  
     Unfortunately, when the green and white flags flew, we discovered we'd picked up some trash from the track and had a flat right front tire.  We finished 14th.  In this case, the finish doesn't do justice to the fun we were having on the track.  But with a new bumper and spindle we'll be ready for next weekend!!!
