It was a mix of
progress and disappointment for the Epic Ventures team
this past Friday. The number 50 had a fair round of
practices and qualifying heat. Our driving skills
improved and we are close to running a competitive
speed. However, the feature proved problematic with a
first lap crash resulting in the car becoming slightly
airborne and coming to rest with several broken parts
in the front end. Another long weekend of work by Doug
and Terry and the number 50 is ready to go again.
Terry and the number 5
saw their first checkered flag of the season with a
heat win. A tough starting spot in the main event
pushed Terry back in the early going but a series of
spins and accidents by our competitors helped Terry
again flirt with a top 5 finish. “The car was
stronger than our finished showed as a new tire did
not come to size as we hoped”. The ability of Terry
to garner a sixth place finish with an ill handling
set-up supports why we selected him to drive our main
car. With an overall 7th place point
standing, we are in a good position with lots of
racing remaining.
Terry’s
T&K Motorsports #11 ROC Modified was there for
some testing and was not in full race trim this
evening. The modified will be back for a regular show
after some additional maintenance in preparation for
the 100 lap ROC event on Friday July 6
th. In the mean time, enjoy the races this
coming Friday and stop down afterward. We have a ready
supply of bubbles for the kids and we encourage them
to sit behind the wheel of our cars for fun or for
pictures.
In closing, we are
looking for a spotter to help us at the July 20th
SST 75 lap special. With the recent policy change
making crew pit pass prices affordable, your help
would be appreciated. Please contact us if you are
interested in interviewing for the position
(experience not required).
