Aug. 21st: Things are changing!
New Bodywork! We were told that it was only going to make a difference on the larger tracks but something good came from using it at Dousman. I'm chasing down the 5th place guy in the point standings now that I am ahead of my friend Kathya who is in 7th place.
We came to the track on Sunday after practicing on Friday night. My dad wanted to make sure all of the new bodywork was in place and not going anywhere. I must have done 40 laps and my hands were killing me but it helped get me ready for Sunday.
In the morning practice we got off to a good start. I was comfortable with the track and got up to speed real quick. The day pretty much worked out in my favor. I had finished ahead of the two people that I'm battling in points and now took over the 6th place spot with 5th place in my sights. With only 5 points races to go it will be tough. The three of us have to finish the same way in every race for me to have a shot and it is not going to come easy.
