Decent year for us with just a 750cc racing against 1000cc and 2.4l engines and just 3 races and a test session on the season each night was a different track and I got to go down to South Carolina for a race, for the first night out we went to US 24 Speedway we got 2nd out of 5 for both heat and main and had the smallest engine and we was battling with track owners son! 2nd night we went down to South Carolina at Sumter Speedway we did ok in the heat and then before the A main I started getting sick and couldn't even stand without falling and even with people telling me to get in the car just to run a lap or to i refused that's overly to dangerous to do especially when I can barely stand or walk. Then the 3rd night was a test session at Hilltop Speedway to see how our cars would do on a track that they haven't ran with them and as of what a few people said is I was fastest car out of our class which was 3-4. Then comes the last night of the season, we went to our local track we haven't ran since 2014 and last time we ran there we got put into the wall on the start of the heat! Still with a 750cc (smallest engine there) and not that great of gear ratio we did decent in heat they was taking top 4 to A and I started 6th got up to 4th was trying to pass for 3rd to secure a spot in the A and made a few driving errors and lost 4th ended up finishing 5th which would start us 3rd in the B main. The second I get on track for the B Main the car dies and won't re-fire so I got to watch the B main from the infield. Found out our injectors and fuel pump went bad in staging for the B main. So a decent year for only 3 races with a 750cc engine and a non mainstream chassis.
