The 13th Annual Bama Bash would not hold very much racing luck for Team MSR. The race for 10,000 was loaded with pro/full time racers. A respectable qualifing time had Team MSR starting 7th in one of the 5 qualifing heat races. 52 cars showed up contending for 24 starting positions. 3 cars from each of the 5 heat race would lock into the field, The 22M car spun with 5 laps left in the heat race. To the back of the field and a slim chance to take 1 of the remaining 6 spots to make the race from the final consi races would end any chance to make the BIG show.
Uncle Jimmy Sims, Dad Charlie Sims, Good Friends Chad Buford and Doyle Chastain helped with the car all weekend and although disappointed to not make the race the team had fun working and playing together. As always the more you drive and work on the car the better you get. The L&L Racing Engine ran perfectly and perhaps with some practice time on Thursday and Friday (unavailble due to work schedules) the Team most likely would have faired far better. Disappointed for sure...Discouraged NEVER!!......"I'll BE BACK"
Congratulations to race winner Ray “The Tar Heel Tiger” Cook!
