Over the past month and a half, Jeff Halligan and team have experienced some good and some bad. After starting out the first few races of the season at Lincoln Speedway, the team got to get back to several other tracks within the Central PA region, as the race season went into full swing.
With a top five finish at Lincoln Speedway on March 15th, Halligan’s speed continued to show from previous weeks. Consistency also started to show, as this was the second top 10 finish of the season in just three races. Jeff was able to follow up that strong performance with back to back 7th place runs at the Port Royal Speedway, on very different track surfaces. A promising run seemed to be in store for the 45 at the end of March, at the BAPS Motor Speedway, until trouble took the Ephrata racer out of contention while running in the top 5.
As the calendar flipped to a new month, Jeff and team were able to start picking off more consistent top 10 finishes. Even with rain trying to wash out racing plans, seemingly every weekend, the team was able to score two more top 10 runs at Lincoln and BAPS Motor Speedway. The April 13th show at BAPS, was arguably the best run of the season for Halligan. Rolling off from the front row and sliding into the lead at the start of the race, Jeff was able to lead 14 laps before being passed by Danny Dietrich. Halligan then had to battle with the Heffner 27, where he managed to come out ahead, and grab a respectable 2nd place finish.
With double features slated at Williams Grove to make up a feature the following week, issues befell on the 45, as the car experienced trouble coming up to speed and ultimately sidelined the team for both features. More trouble found the it’s way to the car the following night (April 19th) at Port Royal, with Jeff having to retire from the feature race early, while running in the top 10.
The last weekend of the month of April featured an 11th place run at the Port Royal Speedway, with passing at a premium, and an unfortunate 6th place finish in the B Main at BAPS the following night.
“Last couple of weeks we’ve been fighting some gremlins,” stated Halligan.
But hopes are still high. “We will be better moving forward.”
As the team looks to put some of the struggles behind them going into May, Jeff again reiterated the necessity of consistency. “We really just need to stay consistent and string together top 5’s and wins will come.”
While some of the results have not shown it, the team has shown good speed and the ability to compete for strong results and even wins. With over half of the feature results this year, ending up in top 10 finishes, speed has surely not been lacking.
“When we’ve been fast, we’ve been really fast, so looking to get back to that” mentioned Halligan.
With a steadfast sense of confidence, since hopefully figuring out the issues with the car, Jeff seemed eager to get into a busy part of the year, with multiple high-paying shows and traveling series’ making their way into the Keystone state. Competing with both the World of Outlaws and High Limit Racing over the next month, will test the strength of the 45 car.
Upcoming schedule plans will include all three nights of racing action with the World of Outlaws at Lincoln Speedway and Williams Grove Speedway.
After that, a Port Royal tune-up will be on tap prior to a big weekend of racing. The three-day Weikert Memorial at Port Royal Speedway, will follow, with Saturday’s finale paying $75,000 to win. With all of the top-level talent coming into town, finding a way to minimize the issues and find consistency in the car, will hopefully start an upward trend for the team and materialize strong results.
