Hard ‘Brake’

After an exciting first night at SFCR, starting at the rear of the field and recording a solid 7th place finish, the following week wasn’t the best of times.
The night started off great with the first win for the Short Motorsports team in heat # 3. Steve took a commanding lead until the halfway point when the brakes faded. Unable to work the brakes, Steve backed up on the cushion to the rest of the field, however hung on for the win. Drawing the #6 pill for the Dash, Steve would start last with a rapidly changing track. Running in the back for the first two laps, Steve bicycled into turn 3, then on next lap he would give up his position to return to the pits. The culprit was a slashed right rear tire and more problems for the crew.
Onto the “A” main, Steve would start 6th in the field. Holding his position for the first 10 laps, Steve would spin entering turn 1. Feeling that something was wrong, Steve decided to retire to the pits. Moments later the crew would find that the left front brake would lock and unlock according to its will.
Hoping their luck has changed, the Short Motorsports team will return to SFCR on May 10th.
