GETS CLOSE TO CRACKING THE TOP 35 IN DAYTONA TESTING
After
a 2 year absence at the World’s Center of Speed,
the
LaCross Motorsports crew pulled into the high banks of
Daytona last weekend with high expectations. With a new
engine and complete new front end suspension, the goals
were to find the speed to get into a top 35 qualifying
position. Billy Gerhart said “if you can run a 51.00
second lap in testing, then some new tires, thin oils and
a few other tricks should result in a 50.50 second time
trial in February”.
Friday was a
complete washout with rain preventing all but about 25
teams from getting on the track. This gave Chuck Miller,
crew chief, some extra time to fine tune our set-up and
tie up loose ends before pushing the car to its limits.
Saturday was
a much better day so we headed to the staging lane with
the sun shining on us. Bob Cincotta, acting spotter,
radioed down to me in the car wanted to know if there was
anywhere else I would rather be. With an intentional
pause, I replied “Hell No!”. About that time, ARCA
sent us on the track for our first session of the test.
After about 4 laps, we brought the car in for a thorough
inspection. New crew member Chris Meddaugh informed the
crew that ARCA timing/scoring had us at about a 52.00
second lap. That wasn’t what we were looking for, but
over a second faster than the last time we were on the
track in 2008. Aaron Cross went under the car and made
some adjustments to the truck arm position and we tried
again. Although the time was not significantly better, we
kept adjusting and improving all day long. By the end of
the day we were down to 51.38 seconds.

that we still had more in the car to find. Scott Ritter
