Coming off a super fun weekend! I won a local race called The All Out Call Out, 220+ cars in 5 classes, my class had about 50 cars. I won 6 races in a row! Best part was my 8 year old son was there the whole time :). Wont ever forget it, hope he doesn’t either. Felt great about putting a Dodge in the winners lane!

So I was in the 11.5 class, quite a few really good bracket racers in the class, but it was instant green, not a sportsman tree like they are used to. I was good at anticipating the instant green and was treeing these guys, running out to a lead and then hitting the brakes at the end with a little buffer. I attached my last 2 races. They were not happy ;)

FWIW Albuquerque is about 1 second and 9 mph slower than sea level. About like Bandimere, but people say it’s actually slower here.

Good job! It’s always more fun when you do well, and to have your son there watching, that must have been a great feeling.

You don’t have to claim it if it doesn’t exist ;). It will have me coming back to try to win again.
