Macon Speedway, Macon Illinois
Pat Schudy #7C Midget Class
“Way to go, Pat! We are proud to sponsor you.”
-The Bolivar Family Dental Team
Started 9th in heat and finished 7th. Was very good competition at this race.
Made some adjustments and was ready for the B feature. The heat race finish qualified us for a 7th place start. This race was fast and furious. Pat bore down, never made a mistake, the car performed flawlessly. Pat worked his way into 4th place early and was challenged at every turn, but managed to fight of every charge and finished 4th.
For feature A, Pat started 20th in a 22 car field for a 30 lap race. This was a hard fought race, with many of the top Powr-I drivers battling for points. There was alot of pushing, shoving, beating and banging. Tempers flared and dumb maneuvers were abundant. Starting near the back, one is apt to get involved in about every altercation on the track and survival is questionable. Pat drove smoothly, survived several close calls and eventually moved up as far as 13th, then began to fade toward the back, with an 18th finish.
It was not realized until after the race, the car was hit really hard and the impact had broke the Jacobs Ladder, a part of the rear suspension that helps stabilize the rear axle and transfers weight to that corner of the car. After seeing the damage to the car it was amazing the car finished the race at all.
Looking forward to next race.
