The Season So Far

Wed, 27 Jun 2007 18:02:13 GMT

The season so far has been really good. Right now we are 8th in points. We have had all top 8 finishes which is really good. I had my first bad accident on June 2nd. In the first lap the flag man called a bad start and pulled out the yellow flag when everyone was in turn 3 and 4. The car in front of me slamed on his brakes and i had nowhere to go so i crashed into the back of him. The hit pushed my bumper into my tire and throw my toe way out. Since the track knew it was there fault they held the race and the officals pulled my bumper out and made it so my car would roll and i could get off the track. I roled off the track, it was so cool because when i got off the track there were about 20 people waiting and ready to fix my car so i could keep racing. It was cool to see all these people i didn't even know from alot of the late model teams like Bill McAnnally's team there helping. They fixed my car it was like a ten second pit stop in NASCAR they fixed my car and then i was out there to start my race. My car was totally messed up but i finished the race and actually passed a few people.

This weekends race was really good we qualified 10th.

In the B- Main we had a run in with one of the rookies which messed up the toe on the car a little bit but we got through the race.

In the A-main we weren't able to totally fix the car but we still got out there. We were racing really strong we were able to move up 4 spots and finish 6th.

Later that night we had an interview with Gary from the sports show on Sacramento CBS

First Race

Mon, 30 Apr 2007 18:29:37 GMT

i had my first race this weekend it went really well. i qualified 7th which was ok. What was cool though was that this was the first race that i didn;t have to race in the b- main first. when we took the cheeckered flag i got up into fifth for like seven laps then there was a spin and i got into third but there was no caution so after a while two people caught back up. i stayed in fifth until the two really fast cars that were involed in the spin caught back up. if the race would have been 20 laps instead of 25 laps i would have brought home a top 5. I finished the race in 7th which is were we started it. We brought the car back in one piece which is good the only problem we have to fix is to find out why the motor started to drop off.

our next raceis in 2 weeks at roseville again.

Season Opener

Fri, 27 Apr 2007 18:46:25 GMT

Tommorrow is my first race at All American Speedway in Roseville, CA.

We are all ready to race. We have a new body which looks really cool. Instead of painting it we got it wrapped in viynol. It is covered in pink spider web. Since my name is Charlotte we went for the whole "Charlotte's Web" thing to get people to remember me. I will post some pictures later.

Practice

Mon, 12 Mar 2007 15:48:26 GMT

This past weekend we went up to Roseville to practice on the new track. We didn't get that many laps in, but the laps we did get were really good. The track isn't that much different from the old track it is just a lot wider. We got our motor re- built over the winter and now it is running really good. It is really fast. We will be going up to practice again next week.
