CGYS motorsports team #26:
Drake Garretson/Duane Garretson take 1st place in the Mod-Stock class this past weekend in Attica, IN @ round 1 or the WE Rock Eastern series.

Well, we are 1/2 way home and it’s been a long weekend… We started off Friday morning with 9 holes of golf and relaxed. About 6:30 we all convoyed to the town parade in Attica, IN. There were lots of people, kids, autographs, monster trucks, buggies, ultra 4 cars and also Rockcrawlers. We were the only Mod Stock rig so my son drive and I spotted in that class. Just for seat time marketing partner exposure and fun… In the Sportsman class I drove and my main man(spotter) Matt Allen was outside directing me. There were 7 of us in the Sportsman Class (biggest class of the weekend). The rigs were all sitting on 37″-42″ tires and we were on our little 35’s. Our work was cut out for us from the start, but we looked forward to the challenge. On Saturday we started off ok, but got better as the day went on. We finished Saturday in second pts by 2 pts. We know we could win it, but would have to be on our game. We started off on our 1st course Sunday taking a controversial call. We were pissed, but it was done so we just kept our cool and continued on. On our second course we smashed it and took the lead. On course 3 we took another cone, but held out lead. Moving onto the 4th and last course of the day we took another controversial cone and fell back into 2nd place for the weekend. We were very upset, but these judges get 15 minutes of training and are not getting paid. Anyway… Long story short… We stuck with the top dog all weekend, but came up 5 pts (1/2 a cone, or 5 backups) short of 1st place. We were the only team with 35″ tires so we embarrassed plenty of other teams, but were very disappointed with the overall outcome. A second place podium in a National event should please us, but we shoulda won it so were taking it rough. We would like to thank each and every one of you for your continued support. Good news is that we kept our season long streak of podium finishes going… 🙂
