Riker Racing #00

Once again we went back up to GVAT on the first of June. The track was really slick and loose during the practice we got so it was hard to judge how the car would act. With burning up the piston the week before, we were hesitant to do anything drastic to the motor. I started second in the heat and ended up finishing in sixth place was pretty disappointing. The car just had no speed so we knew that something had to change and wasnt right. In the feature I was starting in sixth place and the car was a little better but still not right. It had no speed at any part of the track and it was just a mess. I wasnt happy with the finish but I was happy that we atleast finished in one piece. Later we found out our major problem was that when my dad was putting this new motor together, he accidentally put the piston on backwards. I was happy that it was only a stupid mistake and not something more serious.
