Third time on track went into one too hard on cold tires.  Pushed into the wall.

MARA Midget
Spoon River Speedway
Canton, Ill.

Made midget and dirt track debut in Norm Schrawtz's car.  It made it through a hot lap session and heat race but wouldn't start for the B-main. Tried to keep up at the start of the heat race.  Got pelted with dirt and almost spun out going into one.  Ended up three laps down in an eight lap race.  Drifted a little bit high coming out of four while being lapped by the leaders-Aaron Fiscus- one time.

Fira Mini-Indy
Rockford Speedway

Qualified 7th out of 16 at a 14.6 & 14.7.  Michigan car broke the track record with a 13.1.  But we were not to far off from the FIRA cars  Just fast enough to be on the outside pole of the fast heat.
Pole sitter almost spun out going into one.  Led the first lap and maybe the second lap.  Felt like it was really sticking in the high groove.  Coming out of two one of the Michigan cars got by.  Coming out of four the two "motorcycle" cars sandwiched me.  Had one come by squirly on the inside and I moved high a little bit, didn't think anyone else was running any higher than I was.  Right rear tagged Steve Lemke's Right front.  Did a 360 off the wall front first.  When I opened my eyes I was past the start finish line and pointed in the correct direction.  The car was still running and the caution was out.  Caught back up to the field but the crankshaft broke and the clutch fell off before the race was over.
