Thunder Bolt at NJMP

RacewithRP visited the Thunderbolt Raceway of New Jersey Motorsports Park this week for the tenth of eleventh race of the year. This is the fourth Grand-AM event of the year that the RacewithRP team has competed in this year.

Brad Adams qualified the #95 Ford Mustang in the 22nd place with the fastest lap of the weekend at a 1:32.765 during his second lap.

As Brad started the race off in twenty-second place everything went smooth until an off on lap thirteen. Followed by lap seventeen where the #30 ST Mazda 3 went off track. As the #30 was reentering the track Brad and the #30 made contact causing the #30 to spin and resulted in Brad breaking a Tie Rod. The corner workers had him pull towards the wall and allowed multiple laps to be completed before a double yellow was thrown and then allowed the wreckers were able to pull Brad to the Garage.

Brad Adams says “I should have not pulled towards the corner workers with the damage It had as it caused me to have to wait until the next double yellow was waived to be towed in”.

With two more yellows after the wreck it gave time for the RacewithRP.com Crew to get the Mustang back together. After repairs in the garage Ben Crosland takes over at the wheel. Ben is down 15 Laps with an hour and a half to go.

After a long race in the hundred degree weather along with 6 cautions for 24 laps, and 7 leaders. Ben Crosland brings the #95 Ford Mustang in the 18th place. This places RacewithRP.com in the 24th place for season.

The next race is back in the World-Challenge Series at Mid-Ohio. Where Ben Crosland holds third place overall. While Brad Adams holds fifth place over all for the season. With only four races left in the World-Challenge Series and less than a hundred points separating 3rd place from first it is anyones season.
