May 7, 2006...With
two races on the schedule this past weekend, the team
hauled the potent Ballou Motorsports, Gardemeyer Finish
Carpentry, THR & Sons, Gliko Hardware &
Construction, SCHLAGE, Kaeding Performance, MPD, Swimming
Pool Perfection’s, A1A Performance Mufflers, NAAKE
Suspension Specialists, Don Ott powered MAXIM to race at
Silver Dollar Speedway in Chico, CA Friday night, and
Fernley, NV for the Golden State Challenge Series race on
Saturday.
To finish first, you first
must finish, and Robert has been doing just that, by
doing a superb job with his consistency on the race
track to bring home 5th and 6th place finishes for the
weekend..
Friday in Chico 410 Sprint
Car action, we arrived late missing hotlaps. With no
laps "The Rocklin Rocket" hit the track and
ripped out a super fast 12.117, which would have timed
the #12 in a solid 3rd out of 31 cars.
After being dubbed over the
decibel meter, Robert hit the track hard again, and
timed in the top 10.
We rolled out in the 7th
position for heat #1, and once again Robert was on the
loud pedal, and proceeded to put the immaculately
prepared mount in the main event.
After starting 11th in the
stellar field, "Rocket" was mashing the gas
again! When the checkered flag fell on the 25 lap event,
we crossed the line finishing a solid 6th.
The next night was a tow
into Fernley, NV as it was time to do battle with the
stars from the Golden State Challenge Series.
Robert quickly started where
he left off in Chico the night before, by getting the
elbows up and winning heat race #3, from his 4th
starting position..
In the main event, we rolled
out in 10th starting spot, and Robert brought home an
extremely respectable 5th place finish by being smart
and saving his tires on a very abrasive track surface.
Our next event will be with
the GSC series May, 10th at Placerville Speedway this
Wednesday night for "Wild Winged Wednesday"
Come down to the trailer and
meet Robert and the crew!
We Are Committed To Winning!
