TEAM FIREBIRD – WESTERN CONFERENCE FINALS, ROCKY MOUNTAIN RACEWAY, SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH
Here is a recap of Junior Nation at the NHRA Western Conference Finals.
Wednesday was our first race day. It was a day of index racing on a pro tree. A first for many of the kids! Rion Coates made it to the quarterfinals in his class and Paige ended up one of the final 5 cars out of a field of 80 in the 7.90 class.
Thursday was a great day for the Firebird team. This was a day of age group racing and some of these classes were huge. Layne Fiscus went to the quarter finals in the 8-9 year bracket, Austin Coates did an amazing job and was runner up in the 11 year old class and Michael Jaggers brings home the big win in the 15 year old class!!
Friday offered more “age division” racing with a half scale car, an engine and clutches on the line for the final 4 winners of the day (which ended up being all female drivers)! Paige Harris made it to the semi finals in the age 13 bracket. Not a lot of rounds for Team Firebird on Friday, but some of the kids who went out early headed off to Lagoon for some fun!
Saturday was the big day. The coveted Wally trophy was on the line for the national event. Justin Hof and Jacob Geier represented our team well this day. Jacob made it to the quarter finals in the 15 year old bracket, and Justin made it to the quarter finals in the 13 year old bracket. Both boys walked away with some bonus money in their pocket for a good day on the track. Justin was also awarded a trophy for being closest to his dial in round 1 for his age group. He went 7.90 on a 7.90. Can’t get any better than that!
All in all the kids had fun, they had lots of seat time, went a few rounds and had the opportunity to represent a team. As parents, we are all very proud they endured the heat, delays and long days so well. Andrea Harris
