Kolby's Short Night at the Faria Memorial in Tulare

 

May 16, 2012

 

Kolby packed up the sprint car and he and his dad headed out to the Chris and Brian Faria Memorial race in Tulare this past Saturday night.  With only the two of them, there was plenty to do once at the track.  The car was checked, setup, filled up and ready to practice.  With only three laps for warm-up, there was little time to figure out any type of feel for the track.  With 32 cars entered and only 22 starting the main, Kolby would need a good qualifying lap.  Problem was, with only two of them, there was no way to go watch the first set of cars to see what the track was like.  So with a conservative setup, Kolby headed out as one of the last cars.  He ended up 20th fast which fortunately put him on the front row of the heat race.  Front row with CRA champ Danny Sheridan and Jace Vaderweerd and Peter Murphy behind him.  

 

At the drop of the green Sheridan got a jump, then the engine stumbled and Kolby an into his back tire and wheelied into the wall.  The start was called off and they did it again.  This time Kolby got a jump and lead the field into one.  Kolby was settling in using a diamond line at each end, Vanderweerd started to reel him in using the low line.  About four laps into the heat, Kolby headed into three and Vanderweerd dove under.  With the two different lines, they collided coming through four sending Vanderweerd into the air and Kolby into the wall.  This was the end of Kolby's night as frame damage would not be fixable at the track.

 

The good news is that the car, once again ran great.  Kolby and his dad spent the winter putting their car together themselves.  The vitory is seeing our their own car run good.  Kolby is new to the big car and will soon gain enough experience to run up front.

 

Kolby would like to thank PKS Kart Supplies, Graphix Plus, Craig Davidson of DNA Engines, Bell, Meclec, White's Moving & Storage, and Marty Kamimoto of  KAR Specialist.
