I thought we had a third-place car, but with the crate motor we just couldn&#8217;t complete a pass. Every time we&#8217;d get a run on somebody getting into a corner, we&#8217;d have to lift or get chopped. I just couldn&#8217;t catch a break.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOnce we lost the clutch, it got tough. We&#8217;d lose two or three spots on every restart. We just need some good luck.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>ARE YOU ENCOURAGED BY THE FACT THAT YOU&#8217;VE HAD MORE CONSISTENTLY FAST RACE CARS IN THE SECOND HALF OF THE SEASON?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEver since we got back to what we were running last year, we&#8217;ve just been a lot more competitive every week. Not just (in weekly competition) at Beech Ridge \u2013 we were good at Seekonk, Lee and White Mountain.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe&#8217;re a lot more prepared when we go to races. It obviously helps going to tracks we&#8217;ve actually raced on before. Last year, White Mountain was about the only track we&#8217;d been to before other than Beech Ridge \u2013 and even then, we&#8217;d blown an engine in an ACT race and only had about 30 laps of track time. Now, we&#8217;re going to tracks second and third times, and that really helps. We&#8217;ve pretty much been better at every track we&#8217;ve gone to for a second time this year.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read more on the PASS forum<\/strong> &#8211; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.neracingforum.com\/forum\/viewforum.php?f=17\">http:\/\/www.neracingforum.com\/forum\/viewforum.php?f=17<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Joey Doiron: PASS North Series White Mountain Motorsports Park Race Report NORTH WOODSTOCK, N.H. \u2013 Joey Doiron of Berwick, Maine, finished eighth in the PASS North Series PASS 150 at White Mountain Motorsports Park in North Woodstock, N.H., on Sunday, September 11.
