Lattomus Taking One Step Back To Take Two Forward

Preston Lattomus and the Capitol Custom Trailers & Coaches, E-Z GO, Betts Garage No.91 team were building steady momentum as August came to a close. The young Lewes, Delaware driver was learning and adapting, producing better results and glimpses of the team’s potential.
Since then, over the past three weeks, they have struggled to achieve the same results, although the learning and adapting certainly continue.
There’s often more to changes in a race team’s performance than meets the eye. An improvement or a decline can stem from a lot of different factors. Luck of the draw when you qualify, track conditions, setup choices, decisions behind the wheel…there are a lot of factors any given night. Equipment differences are also part of that equation.
There is a lot to learn for a rookie 410 sprint car driver. Handling the horsepower, making split-second decisions behind the wheel, providing feedback to the crew without much experience to base it on, and dealing with the elevated level of competition are just the beginning.
Add equipment differences to that equation, and it gets even more complex and challenging for any driver, let alone a rookie. These aren’t excuses; they are the real challenges of the sport of sprint car racing.
While fans may not see the difference from their seat, since the beginning of the season, the 91 team has been racing two different cars on a rotating schedule. This not only builds depth to their program, but it also prevents a single motor from being ‘lapped out’ and in need of a refresh too quickly.
There are very few subtle differences between the cars, but the differences are enough that identical setups and driving styles aren’t guaranteed to produce the same performance.
“We had a very good stretch in what we call the NJ car, and I started to get used to and like the motor we have in that car,” Lattomus shared.
“The past few weeks, we have been racing what we call our PA car, which has a slightly different motor in it. The guys and I have been working hard to adjust and give that car what it wants to be fast.”
In simplest terms, differences between engines can affect where peak horsepower is reached during a lap. That can affect corner exit and/or corner entry speed, which then necessitate different chassis setups and/or driving styles to achieve equivalent lap times as another combination.
“Right now we are definitely in a slump, but we are taking one step back to make two steps forward,” Lattomus commented.
“We have been able to work together and start to show improvement over the last couple of races with this car. Our results may not show it, but as each night progresses, we improve.”
There is no better opportunity for a driver and team to learn than when they are facing challenges.
“My feedback and communication within the team has definitely been a big thing recently in trying to become better all around when we are struggling like this,” Lattmus explained.
“With only a handful of races left, we will have limited chances to show how much we have improved as a team, but we are heading in the right direction for sure.”
Lattomus will return to Williams Grove Speedway this Friday, then will take on the High Limit Racing series at Bridgeport Motorsports Park on Saturday.
The race at Bridgeport Motorsports Park, which is located in Swedesboro, NJ, is a big one for Lattomus, not only because the touring professional series is coming to town but because he has family and friends right across the Delaware River bridge from the event, giving them a great opportunity to see the young Delaware driver compete in person.
The following weekend, Lattomus will compete twice with the World of Outlaws, first at New Egypt Speedway in NJ, then at Lincoln Speedway in PA.
