9/2/13: Riverhead Raceway - First Responders Night
A relaxing start to the long weekend, Ed was able to sleep in a bit before heading to the track, rather than his normal routine of working for a few hours before loading up and heading out. The weather is nice, good for racing if not a little on the warm side, but I've always preferred the colder weather; the perfect match for my frozen heart. After getting checked in, we set up our pit area as we do, and got ready for the first round of practice. In the first round of practice, Ed decided to follow Steve to see if he can help with figuring out the track a bit. The car felt good and in round 2 Ed plans to lead Steve to see if he can keep up. Round 2 went well, with Ed hitting his normal stride before being stuck behind some slower cars. In a surprise twist, we're getting a 3rd round of practice today, so that's an extra few laps of track time. There are only 26 cars here today, which means everyone makes the feature! With our draw of 64, we'll be starting 2nd in the 3...
