I started 3rd <span id="word7">and</span> thats where i would finish, with this being the first race of the year, there was w whole lot of rookies out there, <span id="word8">which</span> made it <span id="word9">harder</span> to race.It was the top 3 cars in line trying to <span id="word10">maneuver</span> around the lap traffic, with the 4th place car <span id="word11">at least</span> 1/2 lap behind. with a last <span id="word12">cation</span>, i had 1 last chance for the win, but with the track conditions being the was they where, if i made 1 mistake i would lose at least 2 - 3 positions.<br /><br />&nbsp;<br /><br />The points have not came out yet, but <span id="word13">I'm</span> hoping to be in 2nd or 3rd.<br /><br />&nbsp;<br /><br />Thanks <br /><br />Andrew<br /><br />2009 <span id="word14">Sponsors</span><br /><br /><br />Stars &amp; Stripes Motorsports<br />Louis Construction<br />Midwood&nbsp;graphics<br />Scotties <span id="word17">Auto body</span><br />Mom &amp; Dad</p>http://www.loopd.com/members/Andrew47tracer/blog.aspx?resourceId=09b23b5d-f64b-4eb7-85fc-e5b48c1d63a0Sun, 19 Apr 2009 22:25:28 GMThad a good night of racing!had a good night of racing!http://www.loopd.com/members/Andrew47tracer/blog.aspx?euid=3b250f76-8f08-4313-b60c-c052f017857cMon, 16 Feb 2009 20:14:32 GMT
