ARCA
Recap - Pocono
George made ARCA
debut at Pocono Raceway on June 11. Practice was
on Friday, in the first round of practice George
was 18th quickest but the car was too tight, the
crew made some changes on the car and the car was
better and George was 15th quickest but the car
was still too tight. After the crew made some more
changes to the car it was a little to lose and
George spun the car. After the 24 laps of practice
was over George was 15th quickest.
George qualified 18th, George said that he didn’t
want to wreck the car in qualifying. The race was
on Saturday and the weather was not good, it was
raining at the start of the race George missed a
shift and fell back to 26th. From that point on
George worked back toward the front again. George
had made it up to 17th by lap 15. He was running
lap times of the 12th place car.
At this point in the race it was raining harder
and the fog had settled in and getting heaver in
the tunnel turn and the spotter couldn’t see the
car on the back stretch or the tunnel turn. Coming
down the back stretch there was a car on the
outside and inside of George that crossed in front
of him going into the tunnel turn. Causing George
to have to check up and move up a lane to avoid
contact with the car in front of him. When he
started to change lanes he got up into the wetter
grove on the track causing the car to hydroplane
up into the wall.
George however didn’t get back on the track
because of limited funds and didn’t want to take
the chance of doing more damage to the car.
Knowing the race was going to be shortened due to
the rain and fog. After the race was over
according to the ARCA scoring sheets George was
12th quickest overall. If George can find some
sponsors he will be going back to Pocono on august
6th. and others if he can get enough funding.
Overall
George did an awesome job for his first time in a
ARCA Car and on a 2.5 mile Superspeedway. Although
his car is a "short track downforce car"
and is short about 70 horsepower.
OVERALL GEORGE DID AN AWSOME JOB FOR HIS FIRST
TIME IN A ARCA CAR AND ON A 2.5 MILE TRACK.
ALTHOUGH HIS CAR IS A SHORT TRACK DOWNFORCE CAR
AND IS SHORT 70 HP.
We
want to thank Bob Schacht and the rest of
the crew for all their hard work.
George
is looking forward to going back to Pocono on
August 6th.
