A couple of pictures of Jesse's car for District's
He won for the 3rd straight year, but not without incident.
In heat number 3, a car hit his in the stop section area, bending the right rear axle about 20 degrees! We had to straighten it some to get the wheel off! Well, in our haste to finish the car, and get to the race (never had a chance to run it), we forgot spare axles. We straightened it the best we could with a pair of pliers, only to have it happen again at the end of the 5th race! (we run 6 heats, one in each lane). Again, back to the pliers. The wrecks slowed the car about .02, but he still remained undefeated.
Upon further inspection, the impact damged the slot, so he wants to build a new car for council.
Sorry about the poor photo's. Allot of things I am not, and a photographer is one of them!!
We will try to get some better shots up Monday, with someone else operating the camera!
