JT2: Zach Pensacola Update

Today was kinda a quick and slow day all in the same. Why you ask? (I know you asked, don't lie) Well, because the day was short, and with a lot of drivers who showed that they can't drive, it made it a shorter day than it was supposed to be.

Practice started again at 10am, but was only supposed to go until 2pm. But then, during the early Late Model practice, cars kept on wrecking, spinning and hitting the wall. So Late Model practice got lumped into a one hour session. But when you have 140 cars trying to practice, that doesn't give you much time to practice. But the good thing about the morning practice was a HUGE gain was made and Zach was getting quicker, even though the team had much older tires on the car.

After we thought practice for the rest of day was done, we found out there was another half-hour practice just for the Snowflake cars. So the team made more changes, strapped on new tires and Zach ran his fastest time of the weekend. It was good enough to put Zach 10th of the 70 cars that are trying to make the race (with more speed possible in the car). It left the team in pretty good spirits, with a few more changes still to be made.

The team then loaded up, got out of dodge and called it quits at 1pm. Some of the guys went back later in the day and worked on the car some more.

Saturday is the big day... practice, qualifying and the 100-lap race. We'll see how it goes. And we'll let you know.

The team unloaded the car this morning under cool skies... notice how much the guys are bundled up? Far different from the 60s we had yesterday. Damn!!!!

Jennell's parents got here today. She and her dad spent some time on top of the trailer directing the team... well, maybe just watching and seeing how its going.
