Hot Times at La Junta – La Junta Raceway
June 19th 2010 the forecast was for hot weather so it was time to switch to high octane fuel. Luckily the track is located at the La Junta airport where we could easily get aviation fuel. Practice and qualifying went well and Matthew Wolfe was running great. In the race Matthew continued to run well, beating the Spec 7 track record and winning the race.
June 20th 2010 was another hot day. Practice and qualifying times were slower as it was 10 degrees hotter, but the car was still running great. In the race Clay Turner must have had a good night sleep because he was right on Matthew’s bumper for most of the race. As the race progressed Clay’s tires started to go away and Matthew was able to pull a car length or two lead. Finally as Clay entered turn 3, the braking zone after the fastest section of corners on the track, his tires gave out and blew, taking him out of the race. I guess he should have called TreadZone before the race. This left Matthew clear track to the win.
