Like most weekend this season,
Jessica Power and the Power Racing team were at Mohawk International Raceway on
Friday night, and Brockville Speedway on Saturday. Power has been off to a strong start early in 2012, and was
hoping to continue that success through this weekend.
After getting rained out last
Friday night at Mohawk International Raceway, Power was hoping for a little
co-operation from Mother Nature this week.
The forecast called for late day storms, but the rain held off at the
track throughout the afternoon.
Although the drove through some heavy rain on the way to the track, the
team was hopeful that the racing would go on as scheduled. As they arrived at the track, the heavy rain
and hail had come and gone, and it appeared that the track officials were going
to take the time and get the track worked in, despite the lengthy delay. It was over two hours past the original
starting time, and the track was just a few minutes away from being race-ready
when another shower briefly passed over the track, ending the night at MIR.
Lingering rain showers
continued into Saturday, but Brockville Speedway was able to remain dry, and
racing was on as scheduled. Power
finished fourth in her qualifying heat race, and started the 25 lap main event
from the seventh starting position.
Jessica battled to stay in the top ten throughout the race, and would
cross the finish line in tenth place.
“We were just off on the setup
a bit”, says Power after the race. “We
should have had a different shock on the right front, as I expected the inside
lane to be a lot rougher then what it was.
We still ended up with a top ten, so we will take that and move on, and
hope for better results next week”.
This coming week, Power will
return to Mohawk International Raceway on Friday night, and Brockville Speedway
on Saturday. Early in the 2012 season,
Power currently sits eighth in points at Mohawk Raceway and is off to a strong
start at Brockville, sitting seventh in track points, but only four points out
of third.
The Power Racing team still has
their racing apparel for sale at the track each week. The profits from the sales of the team shirts will be used to
fund their efforts for Super DIRT Week at the end of the 2012 season. To purchase your shirt, visit us at the track
on raceday, or email power52racing@hotmail.com.
