With the 2013 regular season over, Tristan Draper and the Draper Racing team have slowly been making the transition from the Rookie Sportsman division into the regular DIRTcar Sportsman class. The first real big test came this past Friday night at Brighton Speedway as they attempted to qualify for the DIRTcar Sportsman Series with some of the best Sportsman division drivers from Ontario, Quebec and New York State.
The main objective for Draper was to make the show and run all 35 laps of the race, and to gain as much experience as possible. They accomplished their first task by qualifying through the last chance B-Main, and started the feature event from the 26th place starting position. The end result on the night was an 18th place finish, and the goal of running all the laps was accomplished.
“It was ok”, explains Draper. “We met our goals of qualifying for the show, and running all the laps. I know we really learned a lot and that was what we came here to do. “I am really looking forward to the Fall Nationals at Brockville, and working towards getting even better for next year”.
The 1000 Islands RV DIRTcar Northeast Fall Nationals at Brockville Speedway on October 18th will be the final race of the season for the Draper Racing team. They will immediately begin to prepare for 2014, focusing on applying the knowledge that they have gained from their rookie season, and are hopeful that next year will be even better.
Tristan and the entire Draper Racing team would like to thank all of the sponsors that have contributed to a successful season in the Rookie Sportsman division. These sponsors include Draper Doors, Bay Electric, Dig N Dirt, Wejay Machine Products, Rideauview Contracts and Speed Pro Signs.
