June 17 - PPMS
Imperial, PA…Tuesday night was the first of two topless Tuesdays at PPMS and Dunn-Olivieri Racing was present with the top on as the used the rare mid week race as a test and tune session.The team made many changes and Dirt’s Monster Half Mile would prove to be a worthy opponent.
A small field of eleven E-Mods were signed in to the pits, and nine of the eleven were PPMS regulars. There was one eight lap heat race and starting 9th,Dunn advanced to fifth. The fan re-draw was an invert ten meaning Russ was to start 6th in the fifteen lap feature. The start of the race saw the caution come out before the first lap was completed, allowing Dunn to move up one position to 4th. Not being a PPMS regular the test session was a favorable one as Dunn hung around the mid of the pack for the remainder feeling good about the changes that were made to the car. In the end, a strong fourth place finish was a step in the right direction the team was looking for on the slicker track surfaces.
One race down PPMS and two more to go 250 Speedway and Muskingum Speedway over the weekend lets see if the momentum can continue.
