WOW!!! Plaza Parks 1st Race of the Season, what a crazy night for our race team!!!



Where do I start, there was so much craziness I don't really know. For starters of this night, Raio's Micro was still being put together around 5:30 tonight at the race track. Both cars still need vinyl on them and the tempers were at their peak in our pit area. There were 39 Micros in the Super 600s which TJ and Raio run, so they both had their work cut out for them. TJ qualified 11th and Raio qualified 20th. Which never fails, put them in the same heat race together. The top 4 cars would transfer to the Main Event and TJ finished 2nd and Raio finished 7th where she would have to run the Semi. We were waiting to watch Raio in the Semi when TJ came up to let us know that he was DQed for being 10lbs too light, so he would be running the Semi as well. Raio started 3rd and TJ started 7th and only the top 3 transfer to the Main Event. So, of course all the drivers were running hard to get to the top 3. At the checker flag Raio got 3rd the last transfer spot and TJ got 4th. Well, as they reached the scales we saw them keep pushing Raio's car back and forth and she ended up being 3lbs to light to be DQed and done for the night. That put TJ in the transfer spot to run in the Main. TJ was not too excited to run the Main by Raio getting DQed but he got back into the car and started 22nd in the Main Event. There were alot of yellows and during the race but when the Checker Flag flew TJ had made his way back up to 10th place. Not to bad for the luck they had tonight.
Raio's biggest fan, Tyler her boyfriend.
