Fowl Mood Racing Scores Top Five Finish on Opening Night at Can Am


After being rained out last week, Phil Potts and the Fowl Mood Racing team were anxious to get back on the track.  Their new Rocket Chassis performed well during the practice session at Can Am two weeks ago, and they were looking forward to seeing how well it would work under racing conditions.

In the six lap qualifying heat, Potts started from the eighth position, and advanced to fourth at the checkered flag.  It was a good run for the team, and when the car arrived back in the pit area, they made some minor adjustments, before the 25 lap main event.  After starting at the back of the feature, Potts advanced to the top five before the checkered flag.

“We had a good run tonight, the car was great”, says Potts after the race.  “With the sprint cars here, the track was really slick, and made it difficult to pass.  Overall it was a good night though”.

On Sunday, the team stayed close to home as their home town track hosted a practice session in preparation for their season opener this coming Saturday night.  The Fowl Mood Racing team will also practice on Wednesday night.

Saturday night will be the first race of the 2012 season at Brighton, and Potts and the Fowl Mood team are looking forward to starting their season on their home turf.

“We always love racing here at Brighton.  This is home to us.  Traveling to other tracks is exciting too, but our we love our home town racing”, adds Potts.

Fowl Mood Racing would not be possible without the support of our sponsors.  We would like to thank Hutchinson Fuels, Indewey Excavating, Vanderlaan Building Supplies, Bill’s Johns, Gord’s Water Service and Brighton Recycling Inc. for all their support, and we look forward to a very exciting 2012 season.
