Velocity speed report

8/15/2008 watsonville

Friday August 15^th found the cv fabricators team lead by chuck cypert heading to ocean speedway to try and gain some information for a future civil war show,the team also was trying to get locked into the key classic.

Myles and the maclac paints/mtl manufacturing/stud welding products/escalon body and paint sprinter started the night out hot lapping and then getting ready for qualifying.

Myles would qualify at a respectable 8^th quick.

The velocity team then went to work getting ready for the 4^th heat race where myles started 5^th next to multiple time golden state champion brent kaeding.

The initial start myles shot in front of bk only to have bk make a vetrena move in 1-2 with myles trying to follow him threw the same spot,the hole closed and myles found himself trapped behind the field.

Myles would battle back and run out of laps where he finished 5^th sending him to the b-main.

Myles quickly handled the b-main traffic and finished 2 nd to transfer to the a-main.

Track conditions change rapidly with the weather cooling of from the ocean breeze and the team went to work adapting the car to the conditions.

Myles started 11^th and played it smart and smooth running the low line and picking his way forward to 5^th with 9 laps to go,on the restart the bottom line had gone away with the middle taking rubber which is what many year sprint car veterans ronnie day,stephan allard and craig stidham found.

The next 9 laps myles diced with these veterans and would finish 8^th,which as of this writing put us one position out of being locked into the key race.

The main objective was met with wanting to gain info for the civil war show so it was a positive trip for team velocity and thank you all our sponsors for making it possible.
