Quesnel 2012

The fourth stop on the Arca Ok Tire Series Tour was at Gold Pan Speedway in Quesnel, BC, and the 99 team was hoping to continue their momentum from the previous weeks top five finish. It was a hot day at the track and the mornings practice was spent unfortunately chasing a shock that was binding, with the handling of the car an unknown going into qualifying the team had to hope for the best.

A somewhat disappointing qualifying effort landed her 8th of 13 cars, and would have her starting in the slow heat race. Working her way from the back to the front in the heat she finished 3rd. After a few more adjustments on the car the team hoped the car would be what they wanted in the 100 lap main event.

A great start to the feature running up in the second position and staying top 5 for the first half of the race, a few consecutive restarts would prove to be the downfall and some contact causing bent suspension and a rough last half of the race for the 99 Snap-On Tools Cadillac. 

"It's disappointing to continue to have these small issues plague us throughout these races, all we can do now is look ahead to Agassiz where we had a great run last year and work to build on that." Said the exasperated young driver.

Watch for the Arca Ok Tire Series as it makes one of the last stops on the tour to Agassiz Speedway.
