7.12.08 Top 5 finish

Double features were run on Saturday July 12. In Formula One style qualifying Jeff was 2nd fast in his heat. During the first feature Kot had worked his way up through the field before the 3rd place #26 Spitfire entry lost a motor soaking the track in oil. Kot spun in the fluid and had to restart last. With two laps to go there was no chance for the finish he had going. Jeff passed a few cars in the final 2 laps and wound up 12th. In the second feature, the green flag waved and by turn one Kot had passed two cars and had taken the lead and opened up a two car break away of about 10 car lengths on the field. The second place car bounced off the turn four wall bringing out a caution. Once the field was tightened up again current NEMA points leader got by Kot on the inside as Kot battled a tight race car and as the laps clicked by Jeff finished 5th. In only his 8th start in open wheel cars Kot was pleased with returning to the front of the pack and leading laps. He's in position for a win.
