6-26-09.....Matt's
win streak ends at 6 , finishing 3rd
friday night.
Friday night
Matt started 5th in the 1st heat
race and finished 3rd which would
give him a 5th place starting spot
in the feature. The car was good in
the heat race just not great. We
struggled with a loose condition off
the 4th corner all night. For the
feature we made an adjustment to the
shock pressures to help with the
loose problem. At the drop of the
green it appeared we made the
correct changes as Matt quickly
moved into the 2nd spot and closed
to within a few feet of the leader,
but by the 1/2 way point of the race
the problem started to come back.
Matt Stayed in the leaders shadow
until the last 2 laps. With the car
getting worse with each lap Jesse
Miller was able to get by Matt with
2 laps remaining. all in all still a
good run for Matt. Thank You
for checking in on Matt's season !!!
6-20-09....Matt &
the family attended his cousins
wedding on Saturday night. It was a
very beautiful ceremony and a great
time was had by all in attendance.
It gave us time to catch up with old
friends and family that we have not
seen in awhile. We wish a lifetime
of happiness to the new " Mr.& Mrs.
Mike Reynolds "
6-19-09...Matt
keeps his win streak alive with
win #6 of the year.
Matt is really
in a groove right now and is just
getting better every week. Matt
started last in the heat race and
finished 1st. Starting on the pole
for the feature Matt cruised to his
6th win in 10 starts this year. At
the half-way point of the season
Matt has increased his point lead to
310 over 2nd place and posted his
fastest lap of the season @ 12.07
6-12-09...Matt
picks up his 5th win of the year @
Selinsgrove...
Things are
really clicking for Team MCR right
now. A week off due to rain hasn't
slowed Matt down at all. The team
has hit on a torsion bar & shock
package that has the car on a rail.
Matt was fast out of the trailer and
we made no adjustments all night
that saw us get almost 3/10ths
quicker as the night went on. Matt
won both the heat race and feature
for his 5th overall and 4th in a
row. Nearing the 1/2 way point of
the season, Matt has increased his
points lead to 280 over 2nd place
6-5-09......Heavy
rains cancel racing @ Selinsgrove
Speedway
5-29-09...Matt
makes it 4 in a row to get his 4th
win of the year !!!
Matt
started 5th in his heat race and
finished 2nd to the 55e of Eric
Leonard. We were good in the heat
race but felt we could get better
with the right changes to keep up
with the changing track conditions.
We made a minor chassis setup change
and decided on a harder RR tire for
the feature. Matt was able to get
the lead going into the
1st turn and held a 4 car lead the
entire race to pickup win #4 for the
season. Thank You for
checking in on Matt's season.
5-22-09...Matt
gets back to back wins for his 3rd
win of the year !
The
night did not start out good as Matt
drew pill number 33 which put him in
last for his heat race. Things got
no better during the race as we had
the car way to loose. Matt was
trying to handle a car that had a
bad 4 wheel drift that eventually
got the best of him and saw Matt
spin off the track with 3 laps to
go. After restarting at the tail of
the field Matt ended up 5th. The
team made a few key setup changes
for the feature with the help of
Todd Hoover.
( special
thanks to Todd for all his help this
season getting us going in the right
direction ).
In the feature the car handled to
perfection with the new setup and
Matt took the lead on the 8th lap
and lead the rest of the way to earn
win #3 for the year. Thanks to all
Matt's fans for checking in to see
how the season is going !
5-16-09.....Matt
gets his 2nd win of the season !
Matt drew a low number that saw him
start outside of the front row for
his heat race. Matt jumped to the
lead at the green and took the win.
Starting 1st in the feature Matt
opened up a straight away lead
before seeing the caution fly with 2
laps to go for a spinning car in
turn two. This wiped out a
comfortable lead and tightened the
field for a 2 lap shootout. Matt was
able to get a good start and opened
a 4 car lead over the last 2 laps to
pickup his 2nd win of the year.
Thanks for checking in on Matt &
Team MCR Racing !!!
5-8-09....This week had us dodging
rain drops most of the night until
mother nature finally won! Matt
finished 2nd in his heat race.
Before the features could get
started the rains came and wiped out
the rest of the nights events. Per
track rules Matt will be credited
with 2nd place points for the night
with no make-up feature race.
5-1-09......Matt
Heads to victory lane !!!
In his 4th
race out Matt had a dominating
performance. Starting last in the
heat race Matt brought the car home
in 2nd place. Starting outside front
row Matt took the lead on the
backstretch of the 1st lap and never
looked back, taking the win in a
non-stop race by 4.5 seconds over
2nd place.
4-24-09....Matt & the MCR team
almost pulled off the win ! Matt run
2nd in the heat race which put him
outside front row for the feature.
Matt took the lead of the feature at
the drop of the green and led the
first 12 laps, unfortunately while
entering the 3rd turn a lapped car
slid up in front of Matt forcing him
to hit the brakes. It forced Matt to
downshift to get going again which
allowed the 2nd place car to slip
past Matt and take the win. Matt was
dis-appointed but had a good night
for his 3rd time out.
4-17-09....2nd race for Matt and the
MCR team saw big improvements in
Matt's handling of the car and
hitting his shift points more
consistently. It showed in the
results as Matt finished 3rd again
but this time he was running with
the leaders.
4-10-09....It was opening night for
Matt at Selinsgrove Raceway Park. We
will be calling SRP our home track
for the 2009 season. With a new
engine package and Matt having to
learn to shift the transmission
during the race we showed up with
modest goals. Our first night was a
good night. Matt struggled with the
shifting part all night as he tried
to get a feel of when to upshift
& down shift. We ended up a distant
3rd in the feature.
