Third Race for Mayhan's Racin in 2011. Mayhans Racin 2011 Results
MMS July 16, 2011, The crew had our #8 Chevy Monte Carlo handling great and hooked up on a new set of 890 HOOSIER'S! We drew for qualifing, got lucky and started 1st for our third race of the year. The car was nice and smooth through the corners and we had power all around the track. We were able to lead the first 10 laps of the feature but my luck ran out when we ran over some metal that punctured the left rear tire. The puncture caused the car to become very loose and just got worse as the laps wound down. When the race was over we were able to hold on to a TOP5 finish but then came tech..... We were able to gain some of the positions lost back and finished 3rd for the night. We checked the tire after the race and it had around 7 pounds of air (HOT) and a sliver of metal in it. Overall it was a good night, we hit our rev limit of 6200 rpms really solid deep in the corners. We had a great handling car, the new tires were faster and way more consistent. We gotta keep working on that balance and overall set up and just maybe we can improve next race. Special thanks to my crew, great job as always!
