Hello Race Fans!
This past weekend we took the Handan Trailer Repair sponsored ’66 Pontiac Tempest and the ’85 Ford Mustang to Bremerton for the always exciting Northwest Independence Shootout hosted by the Sears Family Racing.
It was once again a action packed and fun time all around as the Sears Family do an awesome job making sure the event is ran smoothly along with all of the hardworking crew at Bremerton Raceways.
We decided to run both cars in the Footbrake Challenge and double enter in both the Red & Blue sides on both Saturday & Sunday. Chris was driving the Pontiac and had a great race against former Footbrake champ Brad Craig 1st rd in taking the W so he was pretty happy to say the least. Paul while driving the Mustang took out former champ Steve Kelly 1st rd and then ran into defending champ Jody Lang taking a close loss by .008. Chris ended up making it to the 3rd rd on the Blue side and Paul ended up bowing out in the 2nd rd on both the Red & Blue sides but overall a good day.
Sunday was right into eliminations and once again both cars made it to at least the 2nd rd on both sides of the ladder. Chris made it to the 3rd rd where he faced Troy Johnston whom had a total .016 package while Chris had a great light but broke out in another super close race. Paul lost 2nd rd on the Blue side and made it to the 5th rd on the Red side before going red by .008 against former champ Matt Kielman.
Proud of Chris as this was really the first Footbrake race with the new engine combo in the Pontiac. Way to go bro!
Big shout out to Joe Loch for giving us a nice place to stay while at the track and thanks to our family & friends supporting us this weekend.
Hope to see you all again soon at a track near you! – Paul Young
