Two 3rd Place Outlaw Finishes In Alabama
Mobile, Alabama
Friday night and Saturday night both provided the same results for the #03 Scotia Hyundai Bandolero of Ryan Macintosh in the Deep South.
Friday a fast car ended up in the wall in heat race after contact. The result put Mackintosh at the back for the start of the feature. The car was repaired but some handling problems made it very difficult for Mackintosh to make up any ground on the eventual race winner Joey Padgett. Mackintosh was able to bring the Bandolero Outlaw home in third.
Saturday the "Race For Glory" ended the same way for Mackintosh with just a little twist from Mother Nature. Mackintosh ended up being turned and had to work his way from the back after running 5th. The #03 came from the back and worked its way back to 3rd in the Outlaw division and was going to make a move for second when the sky opened up and the red flag came out. Another 3rd and a top 3 finish in an INEX National Qualifier.
