Big fun was had down at EchoPark Speedway yesterday. Ran out of fuel in stage 2 and if I’m not mistaken, we only got back on the lead lap with about ~15 minutes or so left in the race. Had to make some big moves but we made it back to the front. Still kind of ran out of time but super thankful nonetheless! P4
