Thompson Sportsman Race - 8/31/12


Thursday night we returned one more time to Thompson Speedway with a few more tweaks having been made to the #73 Sportsman Car. After running about 5 laps in practice, I was confident that it was going to be a good night.



We started 9th in the feature, took the lead on a restart on Lap 10. The Nat’s Racing engine sure is a stout piece. We were able to survive many restarts during the second half of the race, pulling ahead by turn one each and every time. Win #63 is in the books. Still offering the sportsman car for sale. $8000. For car minus engine. $8000 for engine only. $13,000 for the whole entire car.




This coming weekend I plan to race the sportsman car at Thompson and play spotter for Todd Ceravolo and Bobby Santos. I am also checking for the possibility of lining up help, money etc. to somehow pull a double double. Qualify the sportsman at Thompson, then beeline to Waterford to race the modified on Saturday, then return to Thompson to race on Sunday. Only a slight chance of this happening. (currently a logistical nightmare, short on money, short on crew members).



Cheers,
Larry
