Chris kicked off the event with his best pass of the week — a clean 6.41 @ 116 mph that set the tone for the days ahead.

Goodlettsville, TN
Racing at Music City Raceway in Goodlettsville, TN was cut short after a racer in the “Organ Grinder” Model A lost control and hit the Christmas Tree, damaging the timing system. With no way to repair it in time, organizers switched to flag starts, and the runs from this day didn’t count toward the overall event averages.

Crossville brought slightly different track conditions, but Chris stayed consistent, laying down another mid-6 pass right out of the gate.
