Josh is steadily moving on up toward the top in the SRRS points. After this weekend, he is now 4th in points! We have a shock test rescheduled again for this week.

On Friday night, the track had changed and the old handling issues flared back up. Out of 55 entries divided into 6 groups for qualifying, only 2 from each group would transfer to the main event. Josh didn't qualify in the top 3 in his group so he would have to run in a consi race Saturday night. On Saturday night, Josh would start toward the back in the second consi. He did not make it in to the top 2 transferees to the main event. But it was a great race and we had a lot fun this weekend. Even though we didn't make the race it was a great experience for us all.
