Hello Race Fans!
This past 4th of July weekend was the John Kilroy Footbrake race at Bremerton Raceways for which Chris & Paul have been looking forward to attending since everyone raves about this yearly event. We took Paul’s Mustang over to give it our best shot!
It is an absolute blast of an event that we would highly recommend to all of our racers & friends as there was plenty of classes to run for all types of cars both with & without electronics.
We entered into the Gamblers race on Friday night and unfortunately Paul got knocked out in the 1st rd due barely turning on the dreaded red bulb.
We double entered Sat/Sun for both the red & blue side of the ladder. Paul unfortunately barely got knocked out in the 1st rd of red side by .009 to David Chun in his dragster. He made it past the 1st rd of the blue side by .0102 margin and in another tight race got nudged by .0038 in the 2nd rd so we were done for Saturday.
We headed into Sunday with hopes of some more round wins and it happened on the red side as Paul made it to the 3rd rd before getting knocked out by .007 margin against race finalist Justin Cooper. The blue side of the ladder Paul lost 1st rd due to barely going red once again.
We had fun time traveling to and from this event with James Ferguson and his son Jim. James was able to notch a few round wins in his Vega on Saturday.
We were camping right across from the finish line so we had a birds-eye view of many many tight races at this fabulous event. We cheered on our fellow racers in all classes and gave them the thumbs up coming back up the return road right beside us.
I would like to give a huge shout out to the Sears Family Racing for doing an awesome job coordinating the footbrake race and ensuring all went well by checking in on us along with our fellow racers.
THANK YOU to my family as without their support I wouldn’t be able to race.
See you all soon at a track near you! – Paul Young
