Well folks, I am afraid this post is going to be short, but not so sweet.  After a 7 hour drive to the Berlin Speedway, near Grand Rapids, Michigan on Friday during the pouring rain, Friday night’s practice was rained out.  Up early in the morning on Saturday it was one of those on again, off again rainy days, but the 30 plus field finally made it onto the track about 2:00 pm in the afternoon.  Brandon being one of the first cars on the track was the track tester, but as luck would have it after a few laps on the track and finally up to speed lost control and visited the Berlin wall.  And so ends his first CRA racing experience ooh well, that’s racing, on to the next track.

Well Brandon has had his first taste of American Racing, in Toledo, Ohio.  It was kind of disappointing that there were only 20 cars in attendance but the half mile track was challenge enough as well as the weather being very cold (just like Florida).  After being one of the top three fastest cars during practice,  Brandon ended up qualifying in 7th position during time trials.  As the top ten were inverted, he started the race in 3rd position.  It only took about 22 laps for Brandon to gain the lead,  but to due some impatient driving  by  Griffen McGrath he was spun during lap 28 of a 125 lap race.   As  Brandon was able to keep it off the wall, he just had to pit for a quick tire check and went back out at the back of the pack, and was able to get back up to 5th place by the end of the race.  As for his first attempt at ASA racing, chalk it up to more great experience, next trip CRA in Berlin, Michigan.
