Waterford, CT — As a race season moves along, a race team’s objectives for the season can evolve. At the beginning of the 2007 season, Tim Jordan and his #47 team set out to defend their Late Model championship at Waterford Speedbowl (CT). They were on their way to contending for the title after winning three straight races, but a string of bad luck dropped them back in the race slightly. At that point, Jordan attempted to gain more touring experience by towing to races at Oxford Plains Speedway (ME) and Seekonk Speedway (MA).
Now, with just a few races to go before the racing season is up, Jordan is working to just make his racecar better. The set-up of the #47 has been hard to fine tune since a mid-season wreck, but the Jordan Racing team is getting closer to figuring it out as evidenced by a third-place finish in last Saturday night’s race.
“We’re a little more happy with it,” said Jordan. “We found some things and made the car better. Last week, it was fast and we are almost there, but we still have a little work to do. Since it got wrecked, the car has been evil. So now we are just trying things to do what will work. At this point in the season, we can throw a crazy set-up at it and see if that helps out any.”
Jordan is also busy planning for his 2008 racing season.
“Coming back to Waterford is our realistic plan for next year. We’d like to do some more touring and run more ACT Late Model shows, but the finances aren’t there to allow that to happen. We don’t have the sponsorship to do that properly and I’ve always said that you need to race within your means, so that is what we are going to do.”
Jordan returns to action at Waterford this Saturday night.
