Shawn was in the 12a 600cc micro sprint again last evening at Path Valley Speedway Park. The night started out on a pretty bad note. Shawn went out for warm ups and on his second time around the track the car shut off. He was pushed back into the pits and everyone, including non team members pitched in and help Shawn find the issue. It was a wiring issue on the back of the dash and also a blown fuse. The team would like to thank Tim Glatfelters Dad for all his help, and also the 18X team for the fuse.
Shawn was scheduled to start in the first heat race in the ninth position due to being a rookie in this car. He ended up finishing sixth. When Shawn got back into the pits he was excited due to the fact that he thought that the top six out of each heat went on to the feature. Well, they took the top five.
This meant that Shawn started the consi on the pole. Shawn finished 7th and did not qualify for the feature. Again, many other teams let Shawn know that he is doing a very good job for only being his second time on the track in this car.
The team would also like to say “Thank You” to Dwayne for all of his help last evening. The team is hoping that he will decide to come on board as we learn all the new things with a new car.
Thank you all again for all of your support! The team is planning on having Xzander at Susquehanna Speedway Park for practice on Wednesday evening, and we will post later this week where the team will be racing. Thanks again!
