Saturday night and i think it is hotter than yesterday but hopefully they will poor heaps of water on the track. Kerry timed in at 10th position out of 46 cars tonight.
In the heat race he started in 2nd position and finished first. In the dash he started in 6th position and finished 8th so a little bit of work to do .

In the A main Kerry started in 8th position and was looking good got up to 5th then Tyler Walker tried a slide job on Kerry which did not work and hit our front wheel and spun
us around and was not our fault but the wisdom of the WOO they put Kerry to the back of the field so thats hard to take one minute running 5th then running 28th but i
suppose thats motor racing we ended up 23rd so the monkey is still on our back.

Tonight we were going to New York to race with the Outlaws but we have decided to stay around Hanover and race with the Pennsylvanian Posse at Lincoln Speedway. The
posse are a hard charging mob they have beaten the Outlaws in the last 8 times they have met so it will be tough. Our engine builder live in Hanover and he is freshening
our second motor so we hope to pick that up on Tuesday and he is also building a brand new motor for us as well that take it to 3 brand new motors  then we head back
West.

Friday night we raced at the famous Williams Grove and it was very hot (108 fh )  around 40c so we new the track was going to be dry slick Kerry timed in 16th out of 48 cars.
In the heat race Kerry started on pole but we dropped back to second.

Started out of 10th in the dash and gained one position and finished 9th so we are up the front for the A main. With 28 cars starting in the A main we where in for a dusty
night. There was a few restarts and we lost spots every time these side by side restarts ( i hate them ) happen so we ended up 11th on the night.
We are back at Williams Grove tomorrow night to do it all again.

We raced at Lernerville on Tuesday night and it started to rain just after we arrived for about a half an hour and the pits where a mess let alone the track. But it did fine up
and racing started about 9:00 pm. The night was a double A main race both A mains are paying $15,000 a win.  Kerry timed in 9th and started on the out side pole of his
heat race and run up high and finished first.

The car looked pretty fast so Sonny had done a good job we started out of 3rd in the Dash and finished 4th. So in the first A main we where running 3rd and got a flat right
rear and Kerry went to the curb just to finish the race and hit a puddle of water in turn four and slid up towards the fence and hit it pretty hard and rolled. The night was done
when the car came back in we found a cut in the right tyre so we must have hit some thing on the track. We will be at Williams Grove on Friday and Saturday nights. It is
aways a tough night at the Grove when you are running with the Outlaws and the Pennsylvanian Posse which pretty much own that track.

Well the Kings Royal has been run what a night Kerry timed in 15th quick out of 49 cars huge car count and huge crowd. Tony Stewart flew in on a Helicopter and landed
100 meters from the track so just as well there was a good crowd to pay for his ride.

Kerry won his heat race from Donny Schatz by a far distance so we thought we had a good set up going into the A main, With lightening happening in the sky's we thought is
might not get finished.

Kerry started in 4th position in the A main which we were pretty happy with Kinser on pole Lasoki outside pole Haefertepe 3rd Kerry 4th Kerry went straight to the top and slid
past Lasoki then chased down the King but a red light led to Kinser and Kerry on the front line Kinser took the high line and Kerry got some drive down the bottom and slid
Kinser out in front another red light. Kerry this time took the high side and ran away from Kinser only to have another red light this time Kerry did the same and led the field
39 laps down one to go then another red light i cant believe this one lap to go $50,000 grand up for grabs.

On the restart Kerry chose the outside again and Kinser on the inside Kinser jumps the start in turn 3 and the officials let it go but we won't say who own's his car or the
track. We are very happy coming second to any of these guy's.

Never the less Kerry drove a fantastic race and Sonny done a great  Job setting the car up i think the team done Australia proud tonight .
We are off to Lernerville Tuesday then to Pennsylvania and Williams Grove for a two night show all with the Outlaws.

well we arrived at the big E for the night before the Kings Royal and it was very hot we timed in 18th position out of 47 cars which is a pretty good turn out.
Started in 5th position in our heat race and 2 cars behind us jumped the start before the pole car even looked like going and they let the race go so we went back 2 positions
but made one position up and finished 6th.   

Kerry was on the pole for the B main and was never headed he lapped about 4 cars and the car looked really fast he finished about half a lap in front of the second car they
took the first 4 cars out of the B main so it was going to be a big task in the A main from here.

Kerry started 18th position in the A main and quickly make up some ground on the other cars getting up to 12th position before a restart, The car looked good he then got
up to 9th and i am thinking a top ten finish here tonight with where we started and the caliber of the drivers here that would set us up for a chance tomorrow night in the
Kings Royal but Kerry hit the koosh and broke a tie rod end and that stopped the race and unfortunately it finished us as well.

Well we will do our home work today and be ready for the BIG one tonight ( $50,000 to win ) and all we can do is hope the Monkey has gone to some one else's trailer
because i am over him hanging around ours.

We got to Lima Raceway in Ohio yesterday it was a hot day the track is a little bull ring and is dirt and not a lot of clay in it so it very dusty.
It was the annual Brad Doty Classic and 47 cars turned up so it was going to be a hard jig.  Kerry timed in 25th out of the 47 cars.

In the heat race Kerry started in 7th position and finished 5th. With the time trial against him we missed the dash and went straight into the A main in 20th position with 26
cars starting the A main which is a lot of cars on a little bull ring.

The A main was a 40 lap race which to me was very strange when the track is so small and 26 cars starting we have had bigger tracks with less cars and they have 30 laps.
Kerry ended up 22nd which is the first time this year with the Outlaws we have actually back up so we know look forward to the Kings Royal this Friday and Saturday night.

Today Sonny took Kerry and myself into Tony Stewarts work shop in Indianapolis  and what a privilege it was the work shop is large and very clean work shop like all work
shops should be.
Tomorrow we go to Lima for another World of Outlaws show.

11/07/2010
We are at Cedar Lake in Wisconsin for yet another World of Outlaws show and the rain has started then the sirens started so there must have been a tornado around the
area so we thought the show was not going ahead but it finally stopped and we started about 8:30pm.

Kerry timed in at 11th spot out of 23cars the track was pretty heavy because of the rain.  Started out of pole in the heat race and finished 2nd.
That got us into the dash and started out of 9th and finished 8th. The track still pretty fast which makes it a one lane track.

In the A main Kerry started out of 8th position and finished 7th not a bad weekend two 7 A main finishes running with the best Sprint car drivers in the World is a great
weekend and the owner can't ask for more than that .       

We have a busy month coming up with the month of money we race on Tuesday then the Friday and Saturday at the Kings Royal at Eldora.

After having the week off in Knoxville and getting the car and parts organized and  sonny had to drive down to Indianapolis  to get wings we are off to Beaver Dam Wisconsin.
We arrive at Beaver Dam and the rain started falling so we didn't start racing till 10:30 pm and finished at 2:30am then we had to drive to Cedar Lake about 5hrs away so not
to much sleep that night.

Kerry timed 5th out of 32 cars so that set us up for a good chance , In the heat race Kerry started 3rd but got pasted and finished 4th.

In the A main the No. 3 car started out of 13th and the further the race went the better the car looked coming on pretty strong and finished a great 7th.  a great drive.  
Tomorrow we are of to Cedar Lake.
