July 25th Capitial City Speedway - 2 outta 3 ain't bad

Both Giant Tiger cars were back in Ottawa this week for the Wednesday night races. In the first heat , Paul started deep in the field and quickly made his way to the lead. Right from the start Jeff's car didn't appear right and soon had to drop out with a failed clutch. Paul was leading with 2 laps to go when the number 77 car tried to make a pass for the lead and was hit by the #5 car which turned the 77 into Paul and they they locked bumpers. Paul had to start 2nd last with a green/white/checkers restart and in 2 laps managed to get back to third place. In the 2nd heat ,Paul put on a show by quickly taking the lead and never giving it up to take the win. Jeff missed the 2nd heat while the crew were busy replacing the clutch in his #18 car so he could get back on track for the feature. The feature went just like the 2nd heat for Paul , he quickly made his way to the front and then held off a few attempts by the 77 car and then put some distance between himself and second place and easily took the feature win. Jeff got tangled up with the 21 car early in the race and had to come in to the pits for some bodywork to be removed and then returned to the track for a solid 5th place finish considering the right rear rim and trailing arm were badly bent from the earlier contact.
