His finish landed him in P4 in the A main.  His overall finish was a strong 5th. This is a class filled with kids that have ran this class for several years and we are beyond proud of how he is performing in this competitive class of very talented drivers! This brings us to Sunday in the CB51 Design Unrestricted Animal car. Once again, the R word doesn't like "Animal" day and we got a rain out after his heats. But he started P6 and finished P4 placing him P7 in the A main.  A huge thanks to all those that come support Jonathon!  Another huge shout out to all tha...
