A not too out of the blue report for “Old Faithful” on Saturday at Petaluma Speedway. Other than it acted up as usual during the beginning of the day. The team made it down around 2pm to give as much time as needed if the car didn’t want to live up to it’s name. But truthfully, it has a hard time not being moody.
Klint missed hot laps while the team tweaked around with the car. With help from friends, Klint was able to get the blue #84 sprint out on the track for a great Heat Race. There was again, no qualifying and a pill draw decided where Klint started in the heat. Starting last, Klint took”Old Faithful” around adding more seat time under his belt and finished fourth.
Klint started in the second to last row next to the #3x sprint. During the first lap a red flag came out involving the #6c and #6r cars. The next eight laps Klint moved up to fourth place. The second red came out after the #7b car took a hard tumble. While in fourth place, Klint’s brakes and right rear shock went out, putting him back to 6th placeAll in all we are happy that the car ran and Klint was able to get out and enjoy the race.
Klint would like give a special thank you to brother Kirk for doing an awesome set-up on the #84 car, Brian Azevedo and Kurt for their help to get the dino going!
The SM team would like to also thank their 2008 sponsors; Nessco Landscaping & Construction, Johnny Franklin Muffler, Another Smog Test Only Center, Afex Graphics, Blackout Window Tinting & AAS, and Simpson Website Design.
We would also like to congradulate Matthew Janes for his fourth place finish with the Simpson mini-stock on Saturday night (also for sale)!
The video for this race will be available soon.
