– Jonathan Allard and his Tri-C Motorsports team had a nice night going during the 2014 King of the West Season opener on Saturday night, but mechanical gremlins surfaced while lining up for the feature event, and Allard could only take the green flag, and pull off the track.
The night got off to a very promising start for the former series champion as he timed his Tri-C Machine/NAAKE Suspension/JRI Shocks entry in fourth fastest during time trial qualifications.
Starting in the second row of his heat race, JA, got quite the jump as he took over the second spot, and chased after leader, Shane Golobic. Though he could not get to Golobic, Allard, settled for second, and transferred to both the feature event, and the Dash.
Lining up seventh in the Dash, Allard improved his feature event starting spot an entire row, as his fifth place finish put his Red Line Oil/K&N Filters/ButlerBuilt entry in the third row for the 30-lap main event.
Making his way to the speedway for the feature, Allard noticed something go south under the hood of his entry, and pulled off the speedway, forefitting his starting position.
With the problem not being a quick fix, Allard returned to the speedway to take the green flag, and then pulled in, putting a very disappointing end on what was a competitive night.
“We had a pretty good night going, up until the feature,” Allard said. “We were getting better each time on the track, and the feature was going to be fun with how slick it was, but we were not able to run it.”
2014 BY THE NUMBERS: Races-8, Wins-0, Top 5’s-0, Top 10’s-1.
ON TAP: Allard and his team will head to the Ocean Speedway on Friday night to compete with the Taco Bravo Sprints in what will be their season opener prior to invading Placerville Speedway on Saturday night with the KWS.
