Championship Series #8

Hot hot hot
Both temperature and our racing

This was a double header race day. That means we do batch qualifying to set positions for both races. Fastest lap sets position for first race second fastest lap sets position for second race.

160 qualifying we made gains but still not showing the speed we need to complete.

120!!! Now that was awesome. I hit my line and the car was hooked up. We were the last group of kids to hit the track and so everyone was watching their phones to see the results. They got to watch my name continue to climb the board and we ended up P2!!!! Yes!

160 race #1 we struggled to keep the car under me and I spun twice. We finished on the lead lap but in last place.

The first 120 was a crazy race. Starting 2nd on the outside is always difficult. I learned a lot from the last time I got to do this till now by watching my fellow competitors and talking to them about how to get better.

I worked really hard and was able to get down in line in fifth place. The race got jumbled up multiple times but I was running with the lead pack. I was able to make a very clean pass and I ended up finishing 4th. My best finish in a championship series race.

So grateful to everyone for cheering me on it felt again like I won the race!

The second race we were just as strong. Starting 2nd on the outside again I fought even harder and was able to get down in line in 3rd. I was able to run in 3rd for a few laps but got passed for 4th and 5th. I was competitive but just needed a little speed compared to those cars. I got bumped and spun out as the caution came out for another incident. I had to start in 8th but I was on it. I was able to make strong passes and was able to finish 5th.

What a great day!!!
