 After starting 14th Jeff and the Team Finish a strong 4th

So since the May 14th Feature things have been shaken up in the Fluckiger Racing garage, but the performance at the track hasn't. May 21st was a turn around for our team, as things were straightened out during the week, and we're proud to say that jeff didn't touch a single car in the entire feature. Going from 12th to 2nd in the event. This past friday however was nuts. We had trouble getting a tow truck for the race. We had a cadillac escalade that one of jeff's friends let us borrow, however it was too low. hmmmmmm. Anyways Jeff was able to contact Mark Giordano and we were able to get to the track. With no practice, we made a few adjustments to the car guessing what it wanted to do on tour rubber, and hit the scales as they were calling for us to line up for our feature. All was accomplished, and a good thing too. We started 14th, and we didn't waste any time getting spots on the track. Jeff passed a few cars that were involved in some altercations, and the car was handling beautifully. Before we knew it we were in 7th half way through the race. Jeff worked his way up to the 3rd spot where it looked like we were going to stay. However contact between the 99 and 51 car put us in a situation to get the lead. The #7 Casagrande car was able to out power us into the lead however, and we were stuck on the outside to dry with a lap and a half to go. Jeff held on to 4th, and almost got 3rd, but the 6 car beat us by a nose cone (which is saying a lot with the T-bird nose.) So thanks to Mark for the lift we were able to stay right in the points hunt, and get another top-5 for the season. We will be back this week, and hopefully on time.
