What an exciting time I had at Bristol!Saturday I started the first heat race 4th, finished 4th. Started the second heat race 8th, finished 3rd. That put me in the field for the A Main. Out of the 38 drivers they started 24 in the A Main Feature. I started 16th and finished the 20 lap event in 11th.We made a gear change for Sunday. Three rounds of practice and I was the 7th fastest car. We made another gear change and the stop watch had me in the top 3. I went out to qualify and the car would not turn. I qualified 20th. We knew something was wrong and after looking it over, found a broken steering bracket. We fixed the problem but I was way back in the field to start the event. The race was 40 laps or 20 minutes. I ended Sunday's race in 10th place.Brought home a top 10 from Bristol. The cars in one piece. It was a good weekend.Thanks for your interest, Dale Dodge Jr

Not sure if we are going to South Boston Speedway, VA or Speedrome Indianapolis IN? Weather in VA looks shaky, would rather pull somewhere I can race. Practice also starts at Barberton and Midvale this weekend, still would like to race somewhere! Dodge Jr
