Alrighty, well the racing from then on wasn't all that entertaining up until July 19th, when I placed 8th in the feature and was actually able to pass some cars! We had just gotten new rear springs put in the car so the car turned a hell of a lot better. But we still had the problem of the steering wheel vibrating bad enough to wear my arms out. My dad took it for a test drive after the races and determined that it was the front struts causing the problems. The struts were shot, so we brought the car home the next thursday after practice to get the front struts put in it.
Anyway, back to the 19th. It was kids night at the track and we gave race car rides to the kids before the racing started. I went out on the track three times with loads of kids (8 kids total) and they had a blast, but I think in some way I had more fun than they did! XD. In the heat and feature I was happy with the way the car was working aside from the whole wheel vibration thing. Here is a video of the race!

My dad took the car out after the races to see how it was handling and finally nailed down the problem with the wheel vibration and knew what we needed to do to fix it. But omg! He was FAST! We figured my car could probably run with the street stocks! Even the manager of the track commented that he didn't know the car could go that fast! XD
