I TQ'ed Sportsman Arena truck and finished 3rd, not where i wanted to finish. I stalled my motor under a pipe with no marshall around to help. At the time I was in 1st place with a good lead I think 23 seconds but my wonderful pitman/crew chief(my DAD) had problems with the starter box lol. The battery got disconnected in the box somehow but he got me back out pretty quick. Then a tie rod popped out at the end of the race. I was very happy with my finish considering the luck we had in the main. The new P5XLT Houston Tuned Motor was AWESOME!!!!!!!!

I qualified 6th and finished 10th in sportsman buggy. All I can say is that track was tough for me in buggy. I really needed to practice the night before lol. By the time our main started the track was pretty rutted in the turns and had a lot of grip. The P4 was GREAT. Maybe too much power for that track.

Congrats to Dennis on his great run in both classes! I think we represented HOUSTONS ENGINE SERVICE well over the weekend in Texas!

Also Big Thanks to my DAD who keeps everything running good for me, couldn't do so well without you!

Thanks for your help!
