Riker Racing #00

On Saturday October 13th we went to Greenwood Valley Action Tracks once again. It was my birthday that day so the whole family came along for the long night. For the heat I started first and led the whole race, which led to another heat win. The car ran good but could definitely use some more corner speed. The feature came and I was starting first. Within the first couple laps I dropped back to second place. The first place car was fast and moving quickly. I was able to hold off all the other cars and finish with a solid second place finish. Overall it was a pretty successful night with only one left to go!

On Saturday October 20th we went to Greenwood again for our last race of the season. This was our last race of the season so I wanted to finish it off on a good note. I started fifth in the first heat and finished in third place. I had to redraw since I finished in the top three and picked a 21 which got me a third place starting place in the feature. The car was running great and the motor was fast. There weren't any major changes made before the feature. I was staring third in the feature out of 13 or so cars. On the start I stayed with the first and second place cars and followed them for a couple laps. Once we started getting into lap traffic, the first two cars were getting bunched up by them. The first place car couldn't get around a car so the second place went to get around them but hit one of the lap cars and got them all loose. This gave me the inside line in turn three and I took it. I passed them all for first place. I led the rest of the race while passing more lap cars. I ended up winning and getting my second feature win! The car ran awesome and nothing could have been better! It was a great way to finish off the 2012 race season. Thank you to everyone who has helped us throughout these past two years! Hopefully next year will start off the way we ended this year!
