Sorry for the delayed post! I took Sunday and today for some much needed recovery time!
I had a BLAST at Johnson County, Indiana last weekend!
20 cars in our feature. My coworker George Hinote III had a fuel line issue around 16th. He jumped on arguably the hardest car in our feature, a shocker mopar, and did some serious damage. His car isn’t hurt much.
My coworker Jayce was running a great race and looking like he would be on the podium, then had engine issues and got 8th.
My shifter got stuck in the floor and wouldn’t come out of drive for the first half of my run. Using the nose so much wasn’t ideal, and changed my mindset from “win”, to “mad dog”. It eventually bent the floor enough to free up the shifter, and I junked both ends of the car.
Broke a driveshaft, broke the governer off the transmission.
Finished 7th.
I can’t say enough good things about the people who made that weekend possible! Chance Byrd and Billy Woodward from R&R Sales and Salvage in Connersville, IN put in a ton of time and effort to get my ride track ready. They even called in some friends and family for help. Billy and Chance sacrificed time on their own cars to make sure I was good to go, and that speaks volumes about the type of man they are.
If you’re in the Connersville, IN area, please support R&R Sales! They are honest, trustworthy, and have impeccable character!
George Hinote III of www.ghgraphics.net. What an amazing friend, coworker, and sponsor! George has always been my go-to graphics guy, and he should be yours too! It was awesome to spend a little time in the shop with him over at Calvin’s Wrecking in Kingman, IN, along with Brian and Toby Gearheart! It was even more epic to be pulling onto the same track together and to get to derby as friends. Thank you brother!
Jayce “Ice Cold Carnage” Miller, thanks for recommending your hometown show and starting this ball rolling! You’re an amazing friend and a great man. I’m honored to work beside you at derbynation.tv and I know there are even greater things in your future!
Cindi, and the entire Fight Like Feutz Family, thanks for leading the charge to “Break Cancer’s Stick” and the inspiration that you are. It’s been an honor to carry Allen’s name into battle and continue to raise awareness.
It’s been a whirlwind few weeks for me! Time for a little break and a trip home to NH to see family and friends! Catch me back on the track on Labor Day weekend, in Pana, IL!
