Day two started off really well for me. My normal trip to the gas station to fill fuel cans (for the Z car ~60 gallons ) was not needed. So, we head straight to the track. When we got to the paddock little was needed, and we quickly rolled into my track favor breakfast, the Egg Croissant sandwich. Yeah baby!!!
After the quick drivers' meeting I suited and hit the rack again. Again like the previous day the 10 duked it out going into turn one. This time 54 cars and 6 of my Super Dog racing pals went storming into the morning. Again all went well. I found a little more time. This extra speed had me passing a little bit more often than the day before, and I finished my stint with no troubles. Z-mom and Z-dad again jumped in, and we had no troubles getting Lugnut back on the track within the 10 minute allot time.
Lugnut, put in a good stint, with no major troubles. He can in and again with the team jumping in, I was on track within the 10 minutes, accumulating more laps. By this time the car had changes some, the tires were most definitely not at their best. They were still round, but the shoulders had noticeable been removed, so there was little to lean on when we pitch it into the corner. However, we still ran at 2:08-2:06 pace.
I finished my stint, got to the paddock, the team jumped on the car, and we turned the car around within the 10 minutes. Just as the Lugnut left the pit he let me know that we were in 1st place, and we had 30 laps on the next place car. Wow! Ok, Lugnut stint must have been tuff. The tires were done, but drive he did. So, when the checked flag flew at the end of the day, the D was right there.
So, for Day 2 of the Revenge of the Underdogs, I give you the 1st Place in the Super Dog class!
The little D that did. (Note; by the end of the race only 4 Supper Dog cars were running.) No matter we got two checkers with not major trouble and in the end there was a lot of smiles on everyone faces.
Success!
