The final week of the season finally arrived after a rain marred
season. The weather was perfect. We ran early in the day too.
Practice was a blur as they was in high speed mode we ran 3 practices
in an hour and a half. We made a few changes and the car was really
good. We turned our fastest laps ever at the dog getting into the
13.1 range!! We were all really excited about that. The car was
driving really good too. We started the heat race race on the
outside of Brad Coll and he beat B to the punch as he just spun the
tires and Brad took off. B would reel him back in and make a move
and take the lead 3 laps later. We won our 4th heat race in a row!!
We started the feature in 5th and slid back a couple of spots and
made our way back up to 3rd when the 42 and 24 blew by us like we
weren't even there...(crate engined cars imagine that) The caution
came out around lap 35 and Bryon said the car was really free coming
in so I asked him if he wanted to pit and adjust it. He said it was
up to me and I didn't even hesitate to tell him to come in even
though we were running 4th at the time I knew it was only a matter of
time until we headed backward. We came in and put a round in the bar
and taped up the grill because the engine was only running 140
degrees. We came back out and we were put back in front of the
lapped cars and the 757 didn't see Bryon taking his spot and hit him
in the right front wheel which bent the wheel and probably toed it
in. Our adjustment took care of the problem for most of the race but
I have to wonder how much that hit to the RF hurt the car? As Jill
put it "It looked like you had the Devil chasing you" Bryon was
really wheeling and made it all the way back up to 5th but we just
couldn't catch the lead pack they had gotten so far ahead because the
final 65 laps were run under green. A great job by the whole entire
field!! We were thrilled with the finish and Bryon was really
happy. Then we are standing there and some guy accuses us of running
into him under yellow? First of all we had no clue who this person
was and secondly I was wondering why the heck is he in our pits? Come
to find out he drove the 757 I guess. I didn't see the incident until
I watched the replay on my in car camera...no we did not run into
you, you ran into us. Anyways we completed our first full year at
Monadnock! We finished 4th in the point standings! A pretty good
year in a really tough and competitive division, we enjoyed running
with all of competitors and hope to see them all again next season.
Even though every race was not a smooth one we have respect for each
and every driver out there regardless of what some of them think.

all for helping us have a Great Sesaon!
