Finally: Update's on Moose Racing's month of July! ( check out several posts for the full story )
Finally a July update on the adventures of Moose Racing.
The month of July was jam packed with excitement, travel and tons of quality racing for Team Moose. Kicking off July was Santa Maria, July 3rd. With so many upcoming races the team opted to use the JC Performnce 360 car,on the little track that’s nestledinto the hills off the 101 freeway. Bringing the 92 car from 16th to 7th, earning Jake “Keizer Wheels Hard Charger Award”. The crew loaded up and drove the 2 1/2 hours straight to Perris for the Spectacular 4th of July show. Always one of the most enjoyable events of the year - an fan favorite. As Drivers and cars line the front straightaway for an on track autograph session and games aimed for the kids to team with their favorite drivers. A choreographed fireworks display to top it off makes 4th Of July probably the favorite race of the year. Jake, qualifying with 6th quick would start the 92 on the front row, but a late restart and tire that didn't come back up to pressure soon enough would see the 92 taking the checkers in 6th.
Now comes the hussle and bussle for the team. Home sunday, unload, wash and service cars and reload so Tom would have the rig ready to head Indiana for the teams first undertaking of Indiana Sprint Weeks.
Participating in Indiana Sprint weeks is a massive undertaking. 7 different tracks in 9 days. Most of those tracks Jake and the crew had never seen before, much less ever taken any laps on. Take into consideration the caliper of National drivers that gather for this prestigious event and Team Moose was gonna have their hands full!!
Before we get into the rest of the story we have to give a HUGE THANK YOU to: The Moose Crew, and,yes, the Moose’s made their presence known. Jim, Dave, Rich, Chris, Grandpa, George, Jessica, Laurie & Mallory all made the trip --- whenever there’s this type of untaking, travel, heat, hard work and
little time for play, it’s always a concern that “the team” can have squabbles ending in disaster. So happy to say that Team Moose is an even stronger group then they were before they left. AMAZING JOB by all, couldn’t of done this without everyone of you! To the companies & people that supported this
effort, THANK YOU!!!
Climb into the Moose Racing Rig and relive the days of travel in Indiana - that story is next......
