Corey finishes 4th, Katie 5th and the prize money for most spins 🤘
The second Enduro race was nothing short of WILD. With 15 cars starting the race, it was jam packed with spins, broken parts, and entertainment.
First off, we want to thank our pit crew for the amazing and hard work they did yesterday. It was a hot one and they ran down the hill many times keeping two cars alive on the track. We can’t thank you all enough. 👏 Rodney LeBlanc Dylan Phillips Cody Verburgh Kyleigh Fletcher
Katie had some bad luck with blowing tires and also issues with the knock sensor, causing the car to lose power and run badly on and off during the race. Thankfully a friend in the pits had a code reader and we were able to clear the code a couple of times to keep the car running well enough to land in the top 5 and win the $200 prize money for most spins in the last 50 laps! ✊🌪️
Corey raced an incredible race and held onto the 1st position for at least half the race. Unfortunately, he starting having issues with wheel studs stripping and rims breaking on his car and tires kept flying completely off. He lost many laps from needing some big repairs in the pits, but our skilled and quick pit crew got him back out each time. By the time the race ended he was still in 4th place. 👏
All in all, it was a fun, exciting, nerve wracking (at times) day for the entire Barton Racing team. Again, we would not have stood a chance without the hard work and determination of our pit crew.
Special shout out to Crystal LeBlanc for keeping us all hydrated and fed with snacks, and to my grandmother Brenda Carr and mom Tami Lynn Brinton for watching Carter during the race. Another shout out to Brandon Boucher for sending us loads of videos that we will post later when we get to edit them. And thanks to Jess Marshall for the moral support in the pits. We are very lucky to have each and every supporter in our corner, and it was awesome seeing all the Barton Racing shirts in the stands! If you would like a shirt, send us a message and we will get you one ordered for the September 6th race! 👕
3 weeks to get the cars back in running shape to chase a podium position in the final enduro! 🏁
Thanks to our sponsors for their generous support and keeping the dream alive. 🥰
