I have to thank Gino and Matt for offering their car for me to use this weekend. After kicking out a rod putting a hole in the block, I tried to slow down and also tagged the wall with my back bumper and wheely bar.

After going home bummed out trying to figure out what to do I get a call. It was my Dad, Gino offered up his race car for us to race.

So with my 3 rounds of qualifying not counting because we had to switch cars, I managed to get #7 spot and lose in the second round in an unfamiliar race car.

It means alot to us that Gino and Matt would help us out this way and am glad that we have friends like this that can help support us in what was a devastating blow to our race day.

Thanks again and was wondering if anyone got any pics or video.

Shawn so sorry to hear about the bad luck part and remember it could have been really bad.

Gino and Matt.....you guys are top shelf, that's awesome to do what you did. Really shows the quality of people that race OSCA.

Shawn, sorry to hear about the unfortunate breakage......Just glad you didn't get banged up too bad when you tagged the wall.....take your time and you'll get her back up and running!

Way to go Gino and Matt - sportsmanship like that is hard to find outside the OSCA!!
