Draven
Takes Home
2-3rd
Place Finishes
In The MMRA Touring Series
|
2-12-08 Draven and his family
headed out after school and work, Florida bound to participate
in the MMRA Speedweeks at Bronson
Motor Speedway in Bronson, Florida. They made a stop in
Adel, Georgia in order to get some rest and then head out again.
2-13-08 Draven and his family-get
up, leave Adel and head out. They arrive at Bronson Motor Speedway
and start getting the car ready for practice. The car passes
tech and is ready to go. Draven had not raced a Minicup car
since November 2006, but went out and did a great job during
all the practice sessions for the day.
2-14-08 Draven and his family
arrive at the track and get the needed work done on the car.
Practice begins and Draven has a great practice session. Draven
goes out to qualify and gets the 3rd place starting position
for the heat race. Draven races the heat race and maintains
his 3rd place position for the start of the feature race. Draven
races a good, clean race and comes out with a 3rd place finish.
Way to go Draven! Your family is very proud of you.
2-15-08 Draven and his family
arrive at the track and get ready to go out for practice. Draven
realizes his brakes are going out, so after one round of practice-the
work on the brakes begins. Draven misses practice and qualifying,
due to his brake failure. The crew finally get the brakes working,
but have no time to work on the setup. Draven gets to run the
heat race and places towards the back. Draven goes into the
feature race and somehow pulls off a 3rd place finish. What
a challenging day, but everyone did their job and got a good
finish. Congratulations Draven!
* We would like to thank
MMRA for providing all the racers and their supporters with
a cookout Friday night after the races. The food was great and
we appreciate the family friendly environment that MMRA provides
us with.
2-16-08 Draven and his family
arrive at the track, get everything ready to go and the day
begins. The crew chief finally gets the brakes working at 100
%. Draven completes practice and goes to qualify. The set up
is still not where it needs to be-and he gets 4th place to start
the heat races. Draven goes to the feature race and gets involved
in 3 seperate cautions which under the MMRA rules gets him the
black flag. That gave us a 9th place finish for the feature
race.
Draven
would like to thank Pete Neimeier, Vic Johnson, Marty Dunn and
all the MMRA staff for putting on this event. Everything ran
smoothly and to the posted schedule. After competing at Orlando's
Speedweeks in 2006, this event was a welcomed relief. A big
thank you also goes out to the management and staff at Bronson
Motor Speedway for hosting the event.
