By Dave Sully - Unquestionably, the
recent Florida
excursion during Speed Weeks for the Williamson Racing Team was a major success,
topped off by the final night performance, which saw Mat time trial fourth, win
his heat, and finish seventh in the feature. The team would like to thank Matt
Sheppard for his help, encouragement, and insights, along with Matt's car owner
Jeff Brownell, who made the big block engine available, along with the equipment
required to make it run at peak efficiency. Regarding the engine, appreciation
is also extended to Chuck at CC Performance for his assistance in installing it
and working to adapt it to Mat's driving style. Without their help, the trip
would not have experienced the success that it had.
The Team
also wants to thank all of the loyal sponsors, whose dedication and support
helped to fuel the effort.
Mat wanted to extend
special kudos to Matt Sheppard's team and the Williamson crew members, Dipper,
Teddy, and Rob, along with his dad and Cliff Warner, for their collaboration in
getting the early bugs ironed out, never losing focus, which contributed
mightily to the success that was ultimately enjoyed.
The Team is looking
forward to continuing its association with Matt and his team, Jeff, and Chuck in
the upcoming season.
Once again, thanks to
everyone who contributed to making the first Florida trip a memorable
one.
Mat and the rest of
the Williamson Racing Team
