While initial plans for Lane Snook and Jerry Foster in the modified would have seen Lane compete during the DIRTCar Nationals, snow dashed those plans. New plans found the young Pennsylvania racer competing in the Sunshine State later in the month, at the Ocala Speedway. As expected, there were some challenges that arose throughout the weekend, but also some positives.

The 5 team was able to make the practice night and grab a little experience together before the actual racing began.

“We got out 3 times on practice night, and I felt I got better every session.”

The weekend of racing started off strong with Lane’s best finish. Throughout the first feature, Lane battled with the top two cars and was in contention at points to take the lead. He was able to finish his debut in the Foster 5 with a 2nd place effort, “on 7 cylinders, as a plug wire came off.” Snook showed he was able to handle the tricky track and run up front against some pretty good modified regulars.

Night two also saw the 5-car start out strong. After winning his heat, Lane would start from the pole in the feature.

“I got out to a good lead in the feature, and after a few restarts, I got into turn 3 on the one lap and let the car get off the bars and spun out.”

With the misfortune of sending him to the back, Lane just tried to stay out of more trouble. Trying to learn the car and dirty air in the back, Lane “then spun again for the same reason. I pulled in, and we discussed what I did wrong and what I needed to do to fix my mistakes for the next night.”

The final night at Ocala, Lane had a solid heat race and moved up enough to start top ten in the feature. “After some restarts and going backwards, then forwards some spots, I was around 8th.” On a restart, Lane encountered some trouble once again.

“I was able to get around a car on the start, then had to check up a little bit for a car in front of me, and got spun out by the guy behind me and pushed into the tractor tire.”

This ended the team’s run in the Saturday finale. “The modified experience was definitely different compared to a late model.” Even though the weekend didn’t go extremely well, there were still strong points and lots of lessons learned.

“I want to thank Jerry Foster, little Jerry, and Todd for the opportunity and all of the help. I feel I learned a lot over the weekend, and hopefully we can have some better luck next time.”

While all of this was happening in Florida, the 23 team, back in PA, was getting the car ready for the upcoming month of March, which would kick off the racing season in the family car. While the weather has not been cooperative so far, Snook is hopefully going to be able to shake the car down at some point prior to the start of the super late model season. “Maybe we’ll go practice at BAPS a night if it’s warm.”

With most action not coming until later in the month, the team will continue to focus on fine-tuning the super late model car, as that will be the focus to start the season. The plan is to begin the PA season with the Port Royal Speedway opener on March 21st. The team will then follow that up with a March 28th appearance at The Speed Palace. Bedford Speedway will round out the month as the late models pair up with the Short Track Super Series. Follow along with all of these races on FloRacing and keep up to date on any changes in the schedule.

The team would like to thank all of its great supporters, new and old, for keeping the dream alive and making each race season a reality.
