Harrison Derby 2001
Coming off of my win in yale i was feeling really confident. Not only because of the win but i had a way better car this time then before. But i may have been a little too confident. First we decided to race only 2 days before the race and the front clip wasn't even on when we decided to go for it. but somehow we managed to get it done and make it to the race. One of the toughest guys around Ted Cooper was in my heat so i was already nervous. I ended up sort of shutting it off to him when it came down to me and him. My car stalled and i could tell the timing wasnt right so the battery was goin dead and the car wasnt starting. So i tried a little but then just shut it off. I was happy with second. Well my car was still really good for the feature didnt have to do much to it. But kinda early in the race my ball joint got broke and i kept gettin stuck. I finally lost all my breaks and ended up goin to fast and gettin stuck on a log. It was a humbling experience. Still got plenty of car left for my next race though.
