5 J's Ventures Westward
5J's Motorsports and
14-year old Sayville native, Joseph Burns, loaded the Late Model Stock Car
onto the hauler and pointed it west towards Mountain Speedway over in the
Poconos for a day's worth test and tune operations last weekend. 5 J's
Motorsports wanted to get Joe some seat time in our newest addition to the
team.
Fresh air abounds at
Mountain Speedway and the weather was just as cool as their home on Long
Island. We unloaded the Late Model Stock Car and set about the task of
learning and teaching. Joseph began the session by starting out slowly to
gain a feel for the heavier, more powerful car, and then gradually increased
the pace after he gained more confidence in the capabilities of it. At the
end of the day the team was quite pleased with all that was learned in
skills and the new track where they will be competing later this season.
Joseph is patient and in no real hurry to take a full-out approach just yet.
5'Js Motorsports goal for this season is to learn all we can and keep the
car in shape for a full season next year.
