‘Get ‘em Next Time’

The Short Motorsports team knew it would be a tough night as soon as they rolled the car out of the trailer last weekend. A broken stud from the torque tube was found on the trailer floor after removing the car from the trip to the speedway. Extensive work to the torque tube / driveline was completed mere minutes before slow warm-ups Saturday night. A back row starting position for the heat was yet another challenge that the team had to overcome. Steve clawed his way through the field to finish 3rd in the heat race which placed him 9th on the grid for the ‘A’ main event.
In the main event, only a hand full of cars made slight progress on the super-slick track, while the team could only accomplish finishing where they started. 9th place was recorded for Steve, but all in all, nothing more was torn up. The team will have the ‘workhorse’ tuned up for yet another $2,000 to win show at SFCR on June 21st.
