Well the decision to stay at Cowtown and test paid off Saturday night. Kathryne and 40 something other ASCS Sooner region competitors rolled into the high banked Cowtown speedway. KATHRYNE WON THE SIXTH HEAT RACE, but when there are that many cars and that much competition things aren’t always as great as they seem. Kathryne won the heat race but still fell short of the top eight in passing points to redraw for the front line up…. How is that possible? Kathryne started the feature from the tenth spot and quickly moved up to sixed in only two laps. I was personally thinking we really had something here and then the thing all of us racer worry about occurred. Kathryne made contact with another car and had a head on full speed collision with a safety barrier. I will tell you that when I arrived at the car and saw Kathryne hanging from the belts I feared the worse, but after several minutes she came to and got her wits about herself and crawled out of the car under her own power.
Her new chassis looks to be scrap as well as the front end and numerous other parts but Kathryne is fine and ready to go to Oklahoma City and Tulsa this weekend. We have a long week ahead of us as we will prepare the back up car for service and head into the majority of the schedule with out a backup. Hopefully we can get one of her older chassis repaired and put together before we need one. Thank you to all the well wishers and we really appreciate what each and every one of you do to help her fulfill her dreams.
