ANOTHER “NEARLY GREAT” DAY AT POCONO

The Team LaCross Motorsports crew took a big step forward recently when held our first ever pit practice in the parking lot of the industrial park where the team garage is located. Not only did we get valuable pit practice, but we discovered a big problem in the rear suspension of the car. Fortunately, we had enough time to fix it before we left for the track.

With Crew Chief Chuck Miller celebrating his 25th wedding anniversary (congratulations), the team arrived at the track on Thursday afternoon to meet up with Wayne Hixson's team to load our car into his trailer. This is done to make our car an official entry eligible for Hixson's points. Once in the garage area, we unloaded and headed to the hotel for an early night's rest.

Friday turned out to be a long day of waiting for the rain, which never stopped and washed out all of the on track activities for the day. As disappointing as it was not to get on the track, the team used the time wisely to get the car through tech inspection and work on miscellaneous final adjustments. This was time well spent as we found a number of issues that need attention. As Car Chief for the weekend, Aaron did a good job of getting the car through inspection with only a couple issues that ARCA picked on.

Since I haven't turned any laps in a race car since last August, I was anxious to get a few laps in before the start of the race. I just kept say, "I only need 5 laps, just 5 laps" of practice to make sure that the car would stop and turn for me, before taking the green flag in Hixson's 21st owner position.

On Saturday, NASCAR was nice enough to let us get in a 9 am practice session. We were ready to roll and got on the track early in the session for a quick "warm-up" to check for leaks. I was pleasantly shocked to hear Duane call out a 57.9 second lap. That was our best time ever and I wasn't even driving hard yet. After a quick check for leaks, we ran a couple more sessions to check our tires and then we parked the car early to get ready for final tech. Turns out that ARCA let the teams line up the cars without going through ..... Click Here for the Full Story
