Race Day Experience
Congrats Jeff!! Job well done......
This was my first time out to see the Outlaw Series, truly a worth while event and a great bunch of guys!
For all you guys and gals who have never attended one of these races here's a "cliff note" version of my experience with these guys on race day.....
Although very hesitant and having NO Idea what to do on a track, I decided to attempt a pass or two.......Thanks Bill, he walked me through the registration process and thanks Jack Gaydosh gave me some pre-race pointers, of course my mind went blank and I forgot everything he told me after my burnout! lol.......... things progressively got worse from there........
I was very nervous.....(had no idea what I was doing)
car did not run good at all the first pass.....car bogged off the line and detonation mid track
then I red lighted the second pass.....
the car seemed to run better, I switched to race fuel seemed to fix that problem... but no time due to me rolling pass the light.
very embarrassing outing for me to say the least.....
All that being said...... I had a GREAT TIME!!!!.....all the Pontiac guys and their families were great, they did not laugh at me to much, and although very busy getting themselves ready for racing, they still took time to talk to me and even offer a few words of much needed encouragement.
Thanks guys for a great experience.....I will definitely try it again next year and support The Pontiac Outlaw Series!!
