News as of June 25, 2009
Lawson Racing made it to all three World of Outlaw shows last weekend. First was the River Cities Speedway in Grand Forks. Kevin was in the first heat and finished 9th. I was in the third heat and finished 9th. My car still had a misfire in it in the high RPM range, We tried to some changes for the b-main. In the b-main, I finished 9th and Kevin finished 11th. Saturday saw us travel down I-29 to Fargo to the Red River Valley Speedway. It was my first trip to the fast half mile and it was quite an experience. In hot laps, I had one lap and them my right rear torsion stop fall off, unloading the suspendtion and causing the car to lean to the left. I got towed bad to the pits, but luckily nothing was hurt. Kevin didn't make it out for hot laps as he was trying to adjust on his car to get it run better, plus the engine looked to had developed a head gasket problem. I was in the 4th heat race. I car acually ran clean and was running at an average of 100 MPH. It was very exciting. Kevin and I both were in the b-main. Kevin finished 7th and I finished 8th. The last night brought up back home to race at the Nodak Speedway. We were hoping to have our best showing of the weekend, but it wasn't meant to be. The head gasket problem in Kevin's engine seemed to be getting worse, so he saved teh car for the b-main. I went out in the 2nd heat, but once again my car wouldn't run clean. I only completed 4 laps. In the b-main, neither Kevin or I made the finish, as both cars were suffering problems. The weekend had a few bright spots, but was also very frusturating was both cars were suffereing from problems all weekends. Kevin's engine may require a trip back to the engine builder to get the head gaskets replaced and checked over to make sure there is no permanant damage. My car seems to be suffereing from an ignition problem instead of the fuel problem we had thought all season. We will have to send the magneto in for an ispection and possible repair. Our next race date in up in the air right now. It is going to depend on when we can get everything checked over and possibly repaired. You can see Lawson Racing in the annuall 4th of July parade in Stanley or at the North Dakota State fair parade July 25. Keep checking back to see when you can see Lawson Racing at a track near you.
