Night number two of the Ice Breaker Challenge, turned out better than night number one. Matt qualified for the feature, through his heat race and ended up redrawing the 12th starting position. In the feature on the first lap, Strassheim had to spin to avoid another two car spin. The cars he avoided hitting received their spots back, but Matt was penalized and had to restart at the tail of the field. Starting from the rear of the field, Matt made a strong charge to finish the feature in the 18th position. Pictures Now Posted!

Team 15 is looking forward to familiar ground, as the Summer Series returns this weekend to 34 Raceway & Quincy Raceway, April 12 & 13. See you there!

Night number one of the Ice Breaker Challenge, was definitely a challenge. Qualifying efforts for Team 15 fell one position short in the qualifying heat, last chance race and provisional. With 35 cars trying to qualify for 24 starting spots, many quality race cars were "loaded" for the night, including Team 15.

Matt & crew will take what they learned from the first night and apply it to night number two of the Ice Breaker Challenge. Click here to view pics from night number one.
