that his race could generate. As the gate would fall for the heat race, he would mesh with the track immediately, running the rim of the bowl turns whenever possible, all the while holding the lead. Jumping two, and three singles in to these particular rhythm sections, he could be seen landing on the back wheel with the throttle on, as he would launch again after a subtle millisecond on the ground. It would provide propulsion, large enough to stay in second, securing second place as the race would conclude. Once back at the semi, the heat race would be an afterthought, and all attention would be focused on the main event that waited. As the field would flock towards the opening flag, he would be positioned near
the second place spot, looking to move ahead. With Dean Wilson leading, and setting a solid pace in the front of the pack, he would use his peripheral vision to gauge just how fast the field was closing up. It would serve as a monitor,
as at times, he would be so caught up in the racing action in front of him, that he would forego glancing at the reading of the pit board. Finally,
as lap fourteen approached, he would inch up
on the back wheel of Wilson, eyeing to make a move after the gigantic double-double section over the straightaways. He would launch to the inside, nearly making the pass, but slide out in
the process! Remounting as quickly as he could, he would salvage his efforts for the evening, accumulating in seventh; upset with the crash, but realizing the true speed he possessed.
