The crew headed to GALOT Motorsports Park April5-7th for the 1st PDRA race of the season. The weekend started off rainy causing the Jr. Dragster's to lose two of their qualifying rounds so now there were only two opportunities for them to qualify for the Top 16 elimination rounds. Danika's reaction times of .013 and .016 more than qualified her for the elimination rounds where she was knocked out by a very accomplished racer. We were happy with the weekend as Gabe learned a lot about how this new car will run in inclement weather and our partner, Adam Weidel came out to support. Adam owns Silverback Krew clothing and has made a shirt that will be available only through Miles Custom Racing and we are very grateful for his support!

The second points race at Darlington Dragway was one we won't forget! We got there early Friday to shoot footage for our sponsors and the kids had a blast in front of the camera. You can catch a sneak peak of the footage below. Hamming it up for the camera didn't rattle their focus, though, because when it was time to race, they were ready to roll and it showed. Hezekiah's reaction times are getting better every time he makes a pass and those improvements led him to the 2nd round of eliminations. Danika had a fantastic day, finishing in the Top 3 out of 37 kids. She's cutting quick lights and enjoying being one of the few left standing! Next race is April 5-6th and is the 1st PDRA race of the season in Benson, North Carolina at GALOT Motorsports.
