The plan for this Dillon
Sallows for this past weekend was to attend the Mohawk International Raceway
practice session, and get their car dialed in for opening night, but that
planned changed when Mohawk Raceway officials decided to cancel the afternoon
practice session due to wet grounds.
Looking to get some track
time, Sallows and the DKD Racing team made the decision to race at Can Am
Motorsports Park on Saturday night.
They had just installed their new motor early in the week, and were
anxious to get on the track for the first time in 2012.
It was a struggle much of the
night for Sallows, as he battled an ill-handling car throughout the
evening. He started the 20 lap feature
for the rear of the field, and by the end of the race he had climbed to 17th
place.
“It was not how we wanted to
start our season, but we just didn’t have it all together tonight”, said
Sallows. “Our shocks that we plan to
race with are still getting serviced, and we are making due with what we have
until we get them back. We will be much
better when we start the season at Mohawk next week”.
Sallows also had some track
time at Brockville Speedway, as they hosted a practice session for race teams
on Sunday afternoon. Sallows ran a total of 63 laps during the day, and was
amongst the top five in speed for the Sportsman division.
“We had a good day here
today. It was nice to get some practice
in, but I am really looking forward to getting the season started at Mohawk
this coming weekend, and Cornwall the following weekend”.
