Spencer 06-15-07 #50-19th DNF,
#5-14th, #11-5th
In spite of not
completing the SST main event, team owner Tom Fecteau
had an optimistic outlook on his future. “”I got
to race for position in my heat, was able to dodge a
wreck, and again made the best “instant” choice
during a second accident, even though we sustained
some front end damage.”” Tom reflected that this
week was an indication that his racing skills were
developing to a more competitive level. “We will
examine the car and hopefully find only minor items to
repair as Friday was shaping up to be a fun night.”
Unfortunately for the #5, “fun” was not in the
cards that evening. A heat race restart accident
resulted in heavy damage to Terry’s car as well as
two other good competitors. Our amazing crew completed
the major repairs in time to start the feature. As
Terry raced from the back, he would be in another
crash involving multiple cars. Repairs were quickly
made but the #5 would not handle well enough to move
Terry very far forward. You can go to the Spencer
Speedway photo links to view images from the
incidents.
On a brighter note, Terry brought his #11 ROC Modified
out for some serious competition. In the end, a 5th
place finish showed that the car was ready for our
assault on the ROC 100Lap special on July 6th.
A quick note of thanks goes out to Super Six driver
Kris Hillegeer. Kris has been kind enough to lend a
hand when crash repairs need tending or when Tom needs
another driver’s ear to sort out the car’s
behavior. We appreciate your kindness and hope you
have continued success in racing and with your
family.
And lastly, we will be writing a little more about one
of our crew members in future weekly updates. We hope
to see you soon.
