Marty and I headed off to Hanford this weekend all by ourselves. We drove past Tulare late Friday night and slept in the motor-home at Danny Faria’s again. The next morning we mounted up a few tires (Thanks to Faria) and headed to Hanford to run with the USAC West Coast 360′s. The track was tricky early; wet on the bottom, slick in the middle and a cushion up top. Marty and I had a tough time without anybody there to help us. We didn’t qualify well and went backwards in the heat, so we had to run our first B main of the year. After getting something to eat and settling down, we got the car figured out and Marty started going forward. He started 6th and finished 3rd in the B, then started going forward right away from his 19th starting spot in the feature. He was really fast off of turn 2 down the back chute. At one point he was inside the top 10 and looking good. The bottom had slicked off and the middle was really slick. Late in the race with the rear tires gaining pressure and the lighter fuel load, Marty’s car started getting loose and he got real sideways in turn 1 and lost a couple spots. In the end he finished 13th and rolled it in the trailer in one piece for the 4th week in a row. It was tough to tow out of Hanford and head for home after spending so many weeks at the Faria’s. We want to thank them again for their hospitality. We have had so much fun hanging out and racing with them here in central California and can’t wait to get back here soon. Next week we head to Calistoga with the wing.
