Ventura Raceway .... 6-27-09.... It was great to get Back In The Sprint Car again. Steve Luport (the car owner) wanted to take a break from racing to catch up on the race car and to get away from some of the problems at the track (that has not changed). The track still has no grip and one line when its good !. Heat race #2, I started inside last row (the pill pick was 63, not good) 7th and finished 5th. The simi main, I had a front row outside spot, I ended up 2nd, the car was ok but had no foreward bite. The main event, again the track was dry slik, and starting in the back was not good, everyone was going the same speed, and it was hard to pass. But what I can't get is how some of the guys out front, on a no grip dry slik track can pass guys out there with no problem ?, everyone has the VRA tire, and the set-up can't be that much better that there passing cars like they have a RC 3 or something to get more grip !. Well we have the next weekend off, so maybe we can work on a better set-up or go back to the note's from last year to get the car back out front. Thank's to Steve Luport and his great crew and to all of the fans out there . Until the next race on 7-11, I will see you.... Back In The Sprint Car ! .
