Night Number 2 in Canada
Canadian Nationals - "The Night Before the National"
Heat
Started 10th
Finished 4th
Feature
Started 10th
Finished 14th
Almost 70 cars attended the Friday night show and only 2 cars would transfer from the Friday night event to Saturday's feature. Since this is an open event, all drivers had to draw for starting position for the night. Luck was not on hand for Bubba with a draw of 92 out of 100, this put him starting in the back of the pack in the qualifying heat race starting 10th in one of the six heat races for the evening.
In order to qualify for one of the evening's Twin 15 lap events, he needed to finish in the top 5. Bubba made the charge from 10th to 4th moving him into one of the night's feature events.
Bubba & Bones thought they would need to step up and make some changes to remain competitive in the feature event, since a win was the only way to guarantee a transfer to Saturday's feature. So they adjusted the car, and Bubba set out for the feature event, right away Bubba figured out that the changes did not help the car. No worries though, because Saturday's event put all but 2 cars back on a level playing field with time trials and heat races for the final night at the Canadian Nationals.
I will keep you updated when I get the update from Bubba. - Chris
