Derek Messer Racing 22

Well we didn’t have the best night but I’m still learning and having a blast. Started on the pole in my heat race and finished 3rd. Started 3rd in the feature and finished 14th. Still fighting the car being tight on entry and loose on exit. Not a great combo for speed. I’ll make some more adjustments and try again! On a positive note we loaded up with no damage so that’s a plus!

Well it was a heck of a night! I had made it three nights without any damage but that streak came to an end. I got crazy loose coming out of turn two and I almost spun but someone took my nose off and knocked me back straight lol. Even with the nose hanging off managed to reel in my first top 10! Four races down and lots more to learn.

We’ll be slingin dirt at Springfield Raceway tonight!! Bring the fam and enjoy some non wing sprint cars and of course the main event Midwest Mod B Class! 😉😉 Weather looks perfect! Racing starts around 7! 🏎️ 💨 🏁🏁

For this weekend the 22 machine is going to stay in the garage! We made some awesome progress last weekend, but still have a handful of things to line out for next weekend. I also need to give Mrs. 22 a weekend off! I'll post around the middle of next week where we plan on going. Everyone have a great weekend!

Well we had a good run going, but the car got a little toasty in the feature. I started 17th and at one point had raced up to 9th. Got into some traffic that almost completely stopped on the track and dropped back to 15th. With four laps to go running in 12th the temp gauge was at 230 and climbing so I decided to throw it in the infield and shut it down. We had a heck of a time at Lake Ozark Speedway and we’ll be back for sure!

Change of plans! We’re heading up to Lake Ozark Speedway for tonight!
