| 4/17/10 | Hallelujah! With a few motor problems and too little time our plans for a trip to Maquoketa were cancelled. The two Z's toiled, made frantic phone calls, and quick part runs to fix Friday night's problem. An hour and a half before the scheduled heat race it was announced we were going to the Deery show. From then on the hectic race ensued and we weren't even on the track. To make a long story short, The Z arrived in time, unloaded, teched, and was ready to rock and roll. Our draw was the first sign of the light at the end of the tunnel and we started in the first heat race front row. No Consi for this night and we completed the feature in 13th from a field of at least 51 cars. Great job Michael! Special thanks to the professor, Nate, Russ, Rick, and Donna. |
| 4/16/10 | A cold dusty night for the Deery show in Davenport. Everyone was pumped and ready for a second chance at our first feature in the Late Model. At the start of the heat race a hiccup occurred and the Z was turned around and headed to the back of the pack. So much for an easy pass. The remainder of the heat was one "mad" dash to get as close to the front as possible before the checkered flag waived. Mission accomplished and our place in the consi would be workable. As the cars lined up for the consi and made their trip around the track a noise from the field indicated one unlucky person was not going to have a good night. The Z had broke and was on its way to its pit for an end to the night. Thanks to Dave and Russ for their diligence and support we are enjoying the ride and their friendships. |
| 4/10/10 | 64 Late Models participated in the Slocum 50 event vying for chance to be a part of the racing action. Z was unable to make the show in either the heat race (top 2) or consi (top 3) Shout out to: Bueseling (2) Toland (3) Malmstrom (7) Guss Jr. (10) Nate lead the field lap upon lap and Toland came from 22nd to a 3rd place finish. Thanks to friends who offered support and assistance for our first night of racing |
| 4/3/10 | The Zemo's were Peoria bound for a Modified Show in the Mach 1 and were race ready going from garage to the track and displaying an excellent run in the heat race coming in second from a fourth place start (can I say Auto-Ron's was all we needed last year). The Feature placed us in a 7th starting position and Michael moved to 5th by the fourth lap; however, as luck would have it another car ran us into the wall (during a darn caution). The A-frame was broke and disappointingly our night was finished. Excellent racing in Peoria and the track was in great shape whether you ran low, middle, or high. Wonderful having friends and family along for a night's race and a special thanks to Laurie for saving seats (although it was really all about not missing one iota of racing action LOL). |
