Friday June 26th found Curt and the 5g team at Williams Grove Speedway. Curt was really looking forward to this race. Curt and the team have been struggling with some problems that led to not feeling comfortable in the car since the URC opener. The team struggled to find the problem each week.
After the Grandview race that was delayed by rain, Todd and Curt were confident they found the problem, so they were looking forward the the race at the Grove to see if they did solve their problem. In warm-ups Curt knew they did in fact find it.In time trials, Curt set the 9th quick time on his first and only lap because on his second lap the motor broke in the 5g. Most teams would have loaded up to get a head start on the next nights race in Delaware, but after finding the motor problem, the team started to change motors.
The team worked through their heat race and knew even if they did finish, they would have to start last in the B-Main ( despite setting the 9th quick time). Working their butts off, the team finished just in time for the B-Main. Curt was pushed off to see if the car would even run. Run it did, and Curt went from 18th to 4th to qualify for the A-Main. Curt started 24th and finished 8th in the A-Main.
Curt would like to thank Bill, Todd and the dedicated crew of the 5g for all of their hard work that turned a bad night into a positive one.
Sat. June 27th- The team changed motors again and headed to Delaware Int. Speedway.Curt started 9th and finished 5th.
At the end of the weekend, the team was happy to know they have found the problem that had been hampering them and look forward to the rest of the season.
