Friday we unloaded with much enthusiasm for this biggest of the big mod shows in the southwest!

Drawing a good pill on Friday we ran some hot laps in the slop and didn't learn anything, so we lined up for our heat with our HH setup for tacky tracks. At the green I knew we were too tight but not bad otherwise. We raced to a 5th place finish so that put me in a C main for the lack of passing points! We made some changes to free us up and started 3rd row of the C. We took the green and went right to the front taking the lead after a lap. At about lap 13 or so we were taking the white flag when local car 58 came down the track in front of me as I was lapping him. After locking up the brakes to miss him I blew a rear brake line. Trying to continue, I lost one spot in turn one and another in turn 4, finishing 3rd darnit. We had that race won! In the pits we hurriedly changed the brake line and tried to bleed the system to hurry out for the B main. At the green I knew we hadn't got it bled cause she wouldn't stop?! So we raced around in the back not going anywhere for the B main, done for the night.

Saturday, we worked on brakes and setup stuff, drawing another good pill we got some dry slick track this time. Finishing 4th we locked in to the B this time not having to run the C main. Starting 12th we raced hard for 7 or 8 laps till the 3x car spun in front of me. Clipping his bumper with my left front I limped to the wall only to be towed off the track broken!

Replacing EVERY bolt on part on the left front of the car, we readied for Sunday's last chance races.

Wow, another good pill started us in the front of last chance race #1 of 3. We were pretty good for this race with decent forward bite, but the track was rough and I missed that in our shock setup, so I finished 4th when only 8 transferred to the C main. Naking some hail mary  setup changes (you know,nothing to lose), we couldn't touch the track, no forward bite or side bite, so we went backwards racing for 18th? 14 cars transferred to the B main, we were done!

Thanks to Bobbie Jean who worked tirelessly all weekend, Mike Andrews for all his HARD work (before this weekend, and after), Butch Jr for his sponsoring me the entry fee, the fuel fool from Sunoco for the barrel of methanol, and Coach's Chassis for their support of our racing!

Next race for us will be the Desert Classic at Canyon raceway in Phoenix coming up in two weeks. I plan to go early and do some testing for those dry tracks we never see here at home. (yet)

Thanks to all those fans and supporters of mine and Bobbie Jean, see ya at the track!

And ... We're working on/looking for '09 sponsors for the Reid Racing & Coach's Racing teams, so spread the word!

Thanks again to all for a great season! If the off season is anything like the points season it should be great!
