American Super Late Model racer Jason Feger watched the rain fall in Meeanee last night.
"Hopefully it stops. I want to be able to return home and tell Bobby I got to race at Meeanee ... I want to be one up on him and I also want a win before I go home," Feger, 39, said referring to fellow American Super Late Model racer Bobby Pierce, who missed out on his Meeanee-hosted round in the Burger King-Pro Dirt Super Saloon Series last summer because it was rained off.
Tonight's ninth and final round in the series will be Feger's fourth round. He had a DNF in Auckland when he collected a pile of damage to Aucklander Ben Harding's car when he was running seventh. He finished 11th in Huntly and fifth in Palmerston North.
From Bloomington Illinois, Feger, is known as the "Highside Hustler" in the United States where he has had more than 120 feature wins in his class. He pointed out the Super Saloons are different to what he is used to.
"I've struggled because the brain tells the body what to do but I have to do a different thing. I've had some bad luck so hopefully that changes."
