9-12-09  Ventura Raceway .... It's about 8 weeks or so that i was .... Back In The Sprint Car.  It was good to race again.  We picked a #55 pill, thats not a great way to start.  Heat race #3 ... I started on the 3rd row outside (6th), the car was fast for all of the 10 laps, that's the fun part when the car is hooked-up like that, I finished 2nd.  The Main Event .... again i had a good starting postion on the 3rd row outside (6th), I had a good start and jumped out to 4th and fell back to 5th and stayed there for most of the race until a red flag came out. We had a litte time to work on the car, so Steve Luport and Mike Berdrow worked on the #71 the give it more foreward bite. This is what we had bin doing to the car before all the Main Events that we have raced this sesson, We found out that we were going the wrong way all this time, the car was alot better before the red flag. We no now not to go that far on adjustments for the Mains. It was a good test night for the #71 Ellis, thanks again to Steve Luport and his great crew for giving me a great ride.  We have the next weekend off, until then i will see ya ....... Back In The Sprint Car !!.
