Hurricane Hank and team visited the Dublin Motor Speedway this weekend with high expectations.
After weeks of dyno testing and working through some engine issues, Hurricane Hank and the team were able to return to the track to see what the P&M Performance/Williams Plantworks Open Wheel Mod had to offer.
Hank rolled out on the track on quickly put the car through its paces. We quickly found out the chassis was working great, but the engine was skipping. So the team jumped into action and changed out the carb and prepped the car for qualifying.
Due to large amounts of water being placed on the track prior to qualifications, the track completely changed. Hanks years of experience behind the wheel paid off and managed to post the fastest time on the muddy track, placing the 11 car on the pole for the feature. Although the car ran better during qualifying, we still had our issues. Once Hank returned to the trailer we noticed the starter had broken off. No big deal as the team jumped into action to repair the starter. As the starter was being completed, a fuel leak was found. Again the team had to jump into action and worked to find the replacement parts needed to ensure the car was going to be safe for the feature. With minutes to spare, the repair was made and Hank strapped into the car. Hank hit the starter button and nothing happened. The starter refused to work, so our Crew Chief flew into action and Patrick Williams was able to push start the car to meet the bell. The crew chalked these issues up to minimal practice time where we would normally shake things down.
Hurricane Hank lined up on the pole for the feature with Chris Parker in the 84 car on the outside front row. As the green flag flew, Chris was able to beat Hank into the first corner and would lead the “Hurricane” down the back stretch. Entering turn 3, Chris slipped up and Hank dove to the inside and took the lead to lead the first lap. Hank successfully survived several strong charges from Chris and the hard charging Ricky Boahn to take his first win of the season!
We still have some work to do but overall we had a Great first night!
Congratulations Hank! The team would like to “Thank” Simon Sanders and the LLM team from Corky Boy Racing for their assistance this weekend! We would also like to “Thank” our sponsors, P&M Performance Racing Engines, Williams Plantworks and SSR Racing for helping us make this possible.
