Well it was a good weekend for the Scot's Machine Shop powered # 307 Wissota Mod Four. Friday night in Casper, Wy I got a bad start in the heat and still got second. The sun was a killer coming off of turn four, as you will see in the video. The main was a very hard fought battle with Steve Schicketanz in the # 70X and myself. We traded the lead back and forth while lapping cars. It was a fun race with very little contact. I only had a hint of a tire donut on my door. Here are the in car video of the heat and main. They watered the track after the heats. And I need to get the camera tearoffs..... Sorry about the end of the main video.
Dumb me forgot to charge the camera for Saturday night, so no in car from Gillette, sorry. I did get a clean sweep winning both my heat and main. They also annouced the car show winners, and I won the car show for the mod four class. I would like to thank my sponsor 307 Wyoming Clothing and also thank everyone for checking out my blog. Till next week..... with charged batteries....

First Night Out.
Drove down to Casper, WY for the car show, then high tailed it back to Gillette to race. As I was loading up at the car show in Casper I lost first gear in my tranny. Yes not a good sign of things to come. I was in the second heat of mod four of the night. Good news car is fast. Bad news second gear in the tranny only lasted two and one half laps, and the lost third trying to get off the track. Loaded up the car raced back to the shop, changed out transmissions in about a half an hour, the back to the track, just in time to see the end of the mod four main. Man it was worth a try. My Nephew Wade # 50 got a clean sweep winning both his heat ( heat one ) and the main. My Brother had his idler pulley on his timing belt lock up, stopping his engine and ending his night. We do have the cars all fixed and ready to go ( I hope ) for Casper Speedway opener on Friday. So a short in car of the heat race.

In car Camera !
We got to run a test and tune in the middle of the week. I wanted to play with my new hero video camera. This is my first time ever in this car and the first laps ever on this car. The track was very dry.
