Let the season begin!

Well, here we are. Tomorrow night, we begin our 2012 Traxxas Silver Crown season at Lucas Oil Raceway in Clermont, IN. The car is ready, Jimmy feels good and we're excited to get going.

There were very few adjustments made after the test session run at LOR a few weeks ago. Jimmy has settled on what he wants to do with the shock and spring set ups and knows where he stands with the tires.

We still feel very positive about the speeds that we were putting in during the test and have deduced that we're running very well in comparison to some of the other teams. We'd like to think that we'll be, at least, mid-pack or better. A top-10 finish may not be out of the question but we'll take anything better than 15th. Taht would be a marked improvement from last season overall and especially, the July race at LOR.

We encourage everyone to come out and see us. Here's the schedule of events as it stands right now:

4:00 PM Spectator Gates

5:15 PM Modified Practice and Qualifying

6:05 PM Silver Crown Practice

7:00 PM Heat Laps

7:25 PM Opening Ceremonies

7:30 PM Widow Wax Modified Feature

8:15 PM Driver Introduction

8:30 PM Silver Crown Feature (100 Laps)

Tickets are $20 for general admission, children 12 and under free with paid adult.

There is no rain in the forecast through the weekend so we expect to have a good night of racing and we are ready to kick off the season!
