Lawrenceburg USAC race 8/22/09

Hey everybody,

I just wanted to let everyone know how the USAC race went at Lawrenceburg last Saturday night. We did not use the usual qualifying format, instead we used the Sprint Bandits TNT format. I like this format much better because it forces you to race no matter what position you are in because every position earns you more points in your heat race for the feature. Our night went well for the most part, the first heat race I started sixth and finished third. The second heat race or the "qualifier", I started fourth and finished third again. The track was pretty good for the first part of the feature I started ninth and got up to sixth on the bottom early on, but as the bottom faded I moved to the top and got over the cushion and fell back to ninth. After falling to ninth it was hard to gain anything back, the cushion was right around the top and hard to make a slide job work. So long story short we finished in the ninth spot for the night. I'm not sure right now the plans for next weekend. The motor is out of the Epperson car for a rebuild, there is a chance I may be in Jeff Walkers car but I will not know until the middle of the week. Keep a look out for more updates.

Whats new

Hey everybody,

Its Hunter, I just wanted to let everybody know whats going on. Two weeks ago I went to Iowa to drive for jeff walker at Knoxville and Oskaloosa. Knoxville was rained out but Oskaloosa went fairly well. The race got off to a good start, I got to third from a seventh place starting spot and rode there until lap eighteen we had a red. After the red I had a slow fade to a tenth place finish, I felt that the car started to go away, and also made a few mistakes of my own. Last weekend I ran for Tony and Millie Epperson in the #2 car. Bloomington on friday did not go so well, I started on the pole and finshed seventh, wrenching the car still proves to be a struggle for me haha. Waynesfeild Ohio was saturday night, it went a little better. I posted another seventh place finish from the eleventh. This weekend I will be back in the Epperson car for the USAC race in Lawrenceburg, Indiana. Thanks to everybody that reads my posts. Hope to see you all at the track.
