"Long Distance"

Team 117 had a strong outing at the Annual Grandview Speedway Forrest Rogers Memorial. Team 117 qualified in the heat race and which put them 11th in the feature starting grid. When the green waved, Hirthler moved patiently to the front. After a few cautions on lap 9 and 15 Hirthler advanced into 3rd my lap 19, where he would run till lap 43 when defending track champ Jeff Strunk took over 3rd and Hirthler eventually finished 5th.

Look for the team to return to action Wednesday August 18th for the WoO Late Model/358 Modified double header at Grandview Speedway Thunder on the Hill.
