Gingerman, Labor Day weekend

Sorry for the lack of updates lately. Shawn and I both have been very busy with our work and personal lives to remember to do updates on a regular basis.

Labor weekend took Redhead Racing to Gingerman Raceway in Western Michigan. Shawn had a full weekend of two races to run. His first practice and qualifying with the #32 Honda wasn't as good as he had hoped. A lack of power around 6500rpm kept him regulated to a 3rd spot on the grid. During the time between qualifying and the start We discussed the problem and decided that changing out the plugs and fuel filter should clear it up which it did. Shawn went on to score a overall victory when the race was finally over.

The second race was a little less stressful as the Honda performed flawlessly and Shawn sat on the pole and lead the entire race to take the overall win.

A great weekend overall and it makes the long drive to and from the track worth it. Next up we will be in Illinois at the Chicago AutoBahn park for a Sunday race.
