Last week we were all looking forward to getting down to an awesome track -- Paducah Kentucky! The rain won out on Thursday, but Friday the Lucas Oil boys were in town. The Feger team headed to Paducah, but ended up fighting a broken axle on the trailer. Got the trailer fixed and headed to Paducah.
Feger won his heat and finished eigth in the feature.
The following night, team Feger won at Boswell, Indiana as the Lucas Oil race in LaSalle, Illinois was rained out.
So, during the week, Jason tracked down a place in Indiana to build trailer axles, he made the eleven plus hour round trip while Austin picked up the motor from Mulvain for Split Lip.
The guys worked late into the night to get everything done and headed for Osborn, Missouri for the first night of the WOO Tri-State Challenge.
Hot laps went good, running fifth in the heat and WHAM, the motor blew on the last lap. Less than 30 laps on it, darn it!
For the feature Jason borrowed a car (sorry, I don't know who) to get his start money. The highlight of the night was how well Shep ran, he lead the feature for nearly 20 laps before the Kentucky Colonel got him in lapped traffic, unfortunately, Shep also blew during the feature. A WOO win escaped the Pierce team.
The guys made the nearly six hour trip home to pick up Night Train with the little motor. Next part of the week-end WOO series was Burlington, Iowa. The guys got to the track and waited before buying pit passes. Grandma, Holly and I were half way to the track when Jason called and said it was a rain out. DARN it!
Jason considered making the nearly 4 hour trek to Fairbury, but opted against it.
Everyone came home. Yesterday morning, the guys headed North for the final leg of the WOO Challenge. Charter Raceway in Beaver Dam Wisconsin.
GLAD they did -- first WOO WIN!!!!
