   Starting Friday night in Chico, Californias Silver Dollar Speedway, the night started off rough as the fuel pump was not working correctly and the team had to make a mad dash to get it changed out so that we could get out for our hot laps.  After checking things over, the crew was able to get the pup changed out, and get the car into hot laps.  With little time to adjust the car Jimmy talked things over with crew chief Willie, and they set the car up for Qualifying.  With a time of 12.427 seconds around the 1/4 mile track, Jimmy would have the 20th quick time of the night, and would start at the front of his heat race.  Jimmy would start on the outside of the first row and would fall into the 2nd position for 8 laps.  then things would change as Jimmy would move into the lead on lap 9 and win his heat race, putting him directly into the Main event!!!
    Starting the Main event, Jimmy would start in the 15th position and would move forward all race long.  Jimmy would move up to the 14th spot on lap 2 as the 1X of Brett Miller had some issues and retired.  Then on lap 9 jimmy would move into the 13th spot, as the 29 of Willie Croft retired the race.  Jimmy would be battling with Mike Benson all race long, as they raced hard and continued to climb into positions By lap 27 Jimmy was in 9th place, and on Lap 30 Jimmy would gain one more spot into the 8th position. 
     Jimmy would then head to his home track @ Placerville Speedway July 19th where Jimmy would have one of his best nights of the year.  With a Qualifying time of 10.913, which would put Jimmy 6th fast time of the night.  With 21 cars on hand, There would be only 3 heat races, and jimmy would have to shoot for 5th place or better to get his time back in the Main Event which is where he would finish.  
     Jimmy would then start in the 5th place spot in the Main event, and Jimmy would get a great start, and move up to 2nd place on the first Lap.  Jimmy would then Chase down the 14r of Scott Russell for 15 laps, and then get passed by the 35 of Colby Wiesz on lap 16.  But would still maintain 2nd place, as Russell cut down a tire and would have to retire.  Jimmy would then battle with Wiesz and in the end would finish in the 2nd position.  Next race for Trulli Racing is August 2nd at Placerville Speedway in California Civil War Action!!!
