Hillbilly Racing Team: week in review

[sYc]

This past Saturday we went to a test and tune at Newport, first time out for Devin, age 11, pictured here with his first time slip. Big sister, Taylor age 15, who had been once before, had been telling him how hard it was to stage, cut a light etc, but turned out he was right at home, cutting a decent light all day. After a few practice runs, we dialed in each car, then let them race, Rob helping Devin, me with Taylor. Rob dialed Devin in at a 11:30, was within a .10 all day, broke out once (his crew chief raised his dial in to 11:35, ran a 11:30). I dialed Taylor in at 9:60, also was within a .10 or so, but she is still learning to cut a light, and being the faster car, had to deal with Devin’s lights flashing before her’s. Devin won 3 of 4, so needless to say big sister was not too happy, got the speech about good sportsmanship and having a good time from grandmother.
