Cody's race report by Cody.
This weekend was the fourth stop on the WKA Florida State Championship
series schedule held in Ocala. It was originally scheduled for Moroso but there
was some scheduling conflict. But I didn't mind much because Ocala's my home
track.
I arrived at OGP around noon with my friend, who just started
racing, since my dad was not able to come. The configuration schedule for this
weekends race was the backwards regular track. I didn't practice until about 5
or 6 because that was going to be the time of when we would be racing on
Saturday
On Saturday the gates opened around 9:00 but no one could get
on the track until 1:30.Chris Grektorp and Dave and Marty From TS-Racing where
all helping me this weekend to make it a little easier for me on Saturday
Qualifying: I Qualified 2nd to my friend Jacob Duvall only 2
tenths ahead. In the Pre-final I had a plan to actually stay behind
Jacob Just so he wouldn't see what I had for him going into the final. The
Final was when my plan would come into play; my tires came in a little
late so I had to wait until half way to actually pull off the pass. So after
that I was just focusing on hitting my marks and being consistent. On the last
lap after coming out of the sweeper Jacob got a run going into the tree turn
which we went in side by side after that it was a drag race to the next turn
which happened to be a right-hander and I just happen to have the in side which
gave me the lead and the WIN !.
All and all it was a clean race and just
happened to be the best race of the day so they told me, and it was good for
the championship. I'd like to once again thank my sponsors and all the people
that helped me this weekend: Rysa Racing, Gray Racing, Dave and Marty from
TS-Racing for all there help and great carburetors, Corey Reeves and Switch
Racing Engines, Ken from Roken Racing, Chris Grektorp, And last but not least
my Mom and Dad
