2002 TURNED OUT TO BE A GREAT
SEASON FOR ME. IT STARTED OUT A LITTLE ROUGH, HAVING A NEW MOTOR, NEW ASPHALT ON THE TRACK
SO THE CAR HAD TO BE SET UP DIFFERENT. BUT WITH ALL THAT, I FINALLY GOT THE CAR RUNNING
THE BEST AS THE SEASON WENT ON. I HAD A BETTER FINISH AT THE END OF THE YEAR THEN I DID IN
2001.
I FINISHED 10TH IN POINTS FOR
THE 2002 SEASON. I WOULD LIKE TO FINISH IN THE TOP 5 IN POINTS THIS YEAR. I AM LOOKING
FORWARD INTO HAVING ANOTHER GREAT YEAR. THERE WILL BE SOME GREAT COMPETITION AGAIN THIS
YEAR.
THE FIRST RACE OF THE 2003
SEASON TURNED OUT OK,
NOT A LOT OF CARS SHOWED UP
FOR CLASS I RUN IN, THE CARS THAT WERE THERE WAS SOME GOOD COMPETITION. I AM LOOKING
FORWARD TO RACING WITH THESE GUYS THIS YEAR. IT SHOULD BE A GOOD YEAR. I PICKED UP A NEW
SPONSOR AND HAVE ANOTHER VERY SOON.
OUR SEASON STARTED OUT A
LITTE WET. WITH ONE RACE IN THEN A RAIN OUT, THEN ONE MORE RACE IN FOLLOWED BY TWO RAIN
OUTS IN A ROW MADE IT VERY FRUSTRATING FOR MOST OF THE DRIVERS BUT YET GREAT FOR OTHERS
THAT DIDN'T HAVE THEIR CARS READY YET. ONCE THE SEASON FINALLY GOT UNDERWAY WE HAD ABOUT
20 SOME CARS, BUT BY JUNE WE HAD ATLEAST 40+ REGISTERED.
IN MAY I GOT IN TO THE 4TH
POSITION IN POINTS. COMPITITION STARTED TO GET BETTER AND I WAS JUST TRYING TO HOLD MY
OWN. JULY DIDN'T START OFF SO WELL. I WAS INVOLVED IN A WRECK WHERE BY THE TIME I GOT TO
THE PITS AND BACK ON THE TRACK, I WAS IN LAST PLACE. I ENDED UP FINISHING 11TH ANYWAYS BUT
PUT ME DOWN TO 8TH IN POINTS.
AUGUST WAS BETTER EXCEPT FOR
THE 16TH, WHERE I WAS IN THE LEAD IN THE HEAT RACE TILL THE 2ND PLACE CAR AND I GOT
TOGETHER AND SPUN OUT, WE BOTH FINISHED IN THE BACK. THEN IN THE MAIN EVENT I WAS LEADING
TILL LAP 10AND ANOTHER CAR AND I COLLIDED AND I WENT INTO THE WALL ON THE FRONT STRETCH
GOING INTO TURN 1. I WENT TO THE PITS AND GOT 4 TIRES AND A FENDER PULLED OUT. WENT BACK
OUT AND WAS ONE LAP DOWN AND WENT ON FINISHING THE NEXT 20 LAPS WITH BENT FRONT SUSPENSION
PARTS TAKING THE 11TH SPOT. I ONLY HAD ONE WEEK TO GET THE CAR BACK TOGETHER FOR THE NEXT
RACE BUT DID IT. THE LAST RACE WAS GREAT, I WAS ONLY 26 POINTS AWAY FROM 6TH PLACE FOR THE
YEAR, BUT THE #3 CAR BEAT ME BY ONLY 4 POINTS.
I HAVE HELD THE 7TH SPOT IN
POINTS TILL THE LAST RACE OF THE YEAR. JUST TWO SPOTS SHORT OF MY GOAL OF 5TH, BUT I AM
VERY HAPPY WITH 7TH 
...............I WILL HAVE
SOME PICS. FROM THIS YEAR UP SHORTLY...............
HERE ARE MY WEEKLY STATS FOR 2003
