    The final night at East Bay proved interesting. I drew a 2 in the initial draw and this put me in good position by starting on the pole of the 2nd heat. I jumped out front in the heat and won easily. They drew an invert for the feature which put me in 10th position. Given the track conditions in the feature this proved costly. I had some hard fought battles with 5th and 4th positions and this cost me time in getting to the front to give any challenge to the leader Luke Thomas. I ended up finishing 3rd in the feature. I didn’t anticipate the track changing quite as much as it did in the feature and didn’t make the necessary adjustments to get the job done.

     A good thing to come from the weekend was scoring enough points to secure my 2nd straight East Bay Raceway Winter Nationals Championship, and along with it that nice trophy. Although Luke Thomas and I both had the same finishes 1st and 3rd from the two nights. I managed to snag the tie breaker by having more heat wins. It’s always good to come down the Florida in February and get a good result in this series, because it sets the tone for your season to come. Everyone has new fresh equipment and you have to be on your game to score a good result here. Also, East Bay Raceway is a big wide race track that puts great strain your engine, thus you must have some good horsepower to give you an advantage.

     I have to thank my family for supporting me fully and letting me get away early skipping the major ice storm that came through our home state. I also have the thank my crew, Tommy and Pete, for working their tails off keeping the car clean, maintained, and fast. As-well-as keeping the trailer clean, and keeping everything in order.
