Gleason Bros. Racing

Whoof. I'm beat after that race, for real. Not only was I driving my car, but I was working on the #81 after it blew the rear end in practice so we could get Moose back out there. It was pretty hot as well, and the humidity was pretty harsh.

I was really apprehensive about the car after last week, but this week was different. I really figured out how to get the car to turn and be stable and I really like how it works now. I also wish I had a ton of power so I didn't have to work hard, but don't we all? Either way I'm learning where the car needs to be better, I'm watching the videos and learning where I need to be better, and once I start understanding and putting that all into practice, we'll have a real shot at winning these things.

I simply couldn't believe the #81 won that Sportsman race. We though that after all the work we put into it at the track, we would be junk and have a top ten car at best. But that thing kept rolling and making up ground, and before I knew it we were in the damn lead. I couldn't watch, because I remember all the times we've been leading with 2 laps to go and cut down a tire, or been hit by a lapped car, or lost the brakes. All these while leading, and I was just waiting for the next thing to happen. But when it didn't and Moose crossed that finish line first, it was just jubilation. I remember yelling, "She's a 9 year old car, but that bitch can still win races! How do you like us now!" I'm pretty sure we were all in a state of shock. Its a few days later and I'm STILL in shock. Lets hope the next state of shock will be when I magically win a feature, eh?

Peace,
