VMS Motorsports

Waking up Sunday morning with questions as to the extent of Saturday nights damage, Jim Bucher and the VMS Motorsports, The Agency Real Estate, Childish Concepts, HarmonHomes.com, ULTIMATE EARBUDS team found more than they expected. The right side rear shock mount was partially torn from the housing, rear differential was damaged, and the driveshaft adapter was also damaged.

Good thing there was a spare car to rob from in the shop, as the team was able to get the car on the trailer by 3:45 and on the way to Angell Park for the first time in 2011.

During hot laps, Bucher discovered a lack of braking, and pulled in to correct the issue.

Bucher ran a decent heat race while still experiencing some braking issues, finishing 3rd.

Bucher would draw the outside front row starting position for the A main after getting the braking problem rectified, but would not use it to his advantage. Being his first race at the facility in over a year, Bucher overdrove a few corners, and each time fell back a spot or two, down to a low point of 9th position before gaining one position back for an 8th place finish.

A lot of notes were taken, and the VMS Motorsports team expects a better performance this coming Sunday, July 24th at Sun Prairie. Jim will also be racing in Beaver Dam on Saturday night July 23rd.
