KilKare Speedway became race number two for Drew’s new Outlaw Late Model, a track where Drew ran 2^nd a good share of the race last year.  The first hot laps out Drew was 5^th quick on the speed charts.  The second hot lap time out Drew moved up to third on the speed charts, and by the third time out when we did a tire scuffing Dew was on top of the speed charts and would stay there the rest of happy hour hot laps with a 12.7 time.  That was .2 sec off the track record!  We prepared for qualifying.

On his first qualifying lap Drew ran a 12.66 and the second lap looked far better as the rev limiter hit hard on the middle of the back straightaway.  However this would upset the car entering turn 4 and lap two was not what we expected.  With all other qualifiers picking up around .2 on their second lap that could have been a pole or new track record but we had to settle for 4^th fastest with the top four witin .05 sec of each other.  Next time we pull the rev limiter chip and let Drew do his thing!!  An 8 pill was drawn which would put Drew in the 5^th starting position with the invert.

Drew fell in line in the fifth place at the start and would ride there for about twenty laps making a pass for fourth following the #11 Dick Dunlavy car.  Drew followed the #11 car for around 50 laps, all over him trying high and low to pass him but each time the #11 car would seem to know where Drew was going and block his every move (a sure sign the spotter was helping him drive a little).  Around lap 70 Drew and the .#11 car would move up one position as Harold Fair Jr. who was running 2^nd would drop out with mechanical problems.  On lap 76 the opportunity Drew was waiting patiently for opened when the #11 car slid up on the track between turn 3 and 4 and Drew stuck his car in the opening getting along side the #11 to make a pass for 2^nd.  At that point the #11 lost it spinning sideways, Drew caught his left front corner, they straightened out and who knows what happed next, but when the smoke cleared Drew’s #21 Aluma Trailers, Amsoil, Impact Racing race car was head on into the wall in front of the flag stand.  The front end was pretty well crushed in and water leaking from the radiator.  Our night was ended early but they new we were there!  Drew was FAST!  The car doesn’t look as bad as originally thought with no frame damage, but we need the radiator, front bumper assy, straighten out some stuff, new right fender, hood, both front fender extensions, rebuild the nose, duct to the radiator and we will be back in business.  We will however miss the Stan Perry Memorial $10,000 to win race at Angola Speedway on Thursday June 10 and the Ft. Wayne race the following Saturday June 12.  We will be ready for them at Columbus Speedway Saturday June 26^th for the next Main Event Racing Series points race.
