Tough start to season continues for DDR

The second race of the season turned out to be a tough day for Derek Robbie and the DDR Motorsports team at the JDV Productions Winchester 100 race at Monadnock Speedway. Despite their best efforts, they struggled with recurring electrical issues that resurfaced after they had attempted to fix them following the previous race.

Due to these problems, the team had limited practice time, which put them at a disadvantage. Their first opportunity to gauge the car’s performance came during the qualifying heats, where they managed a 4th place finish. However, the challenges were far from over.

The race itself was delayed due to rain, and when it finally got underway, the track was cold and damp, posing additional difficulties for the drivers. Throughout the race, the team had to make multiple pit stops in an attempt to address the problems plaguing their car. However, they only made limited improvements to the car’s handling.

Despite the setbacks, Derek showed determination and perseverance. He managed to bring the ailing car home in 17th place, gaining valuable experience with the new vehicle along the way. The team expressed their gratitude to the hardworking crew who had tirelessly worked throughout the day to tackle the challenges they faced.

Additionally, the team extends their thanks to their fans and sponsors for their continued support. The sponsors mentioned were NHOU Protective Coatings, Miranda Contracting, Roadactive Suspension, Shibles Mattress, and Ro-Day Industries. Their support plays a crucial role in enabling the team to participate in races and overcome obstacles in their pursuit of success.

The Teams next event will be Derek making his debut in the A1 Automotive owned NEMA Midget at the New London Waterford Speedbowl on June 10^th.
