I also wish DJ that If something happens on the track you could walk over and talk about it with the other driver  and then not have it happen again. Man I'm worried that someone is pissed at me even if I think I cut them off. But it's over with and hope it doesnt happen again.
 I do plan on going Friday to Tipton, IA. I'm hoping we actually get to race there. Seems like everytime I change gears it gets cancelled.

Had a OK weekend again. Started 16th in a 27 car field and finished 6th. I have to qualified better but it is a lot of fun coming through the field but I know it is going to catch up with me one night. I'm fourth in point but I'm not going to run for points.

I hope it doesn't either. What do you run at Tipton?

 I ran a 3.58 one time last year finished 3rd and the other time a 3.73 and only could get 10th lol

For future information, I would prefer you don't come over after you wreck me. Just my preference
Tempers are hot, just leave it alone.
What happens at the track stays at the track, and its a fresh week this week.
Going to put the car together and see you Saturday

I only went there once, and was running top 5 with a 3.58 before wrecking out

Way to move up Scott!

Do you run 4th with a 3.58? Last year I ran a 3.73 and if it was tacky I couldnt get enough coming off the corners and running 3rd gear with the 3.73 you would hit the rev limiter 3/4 the way down the straightaway. I might try a 4.30 in 4th or 3.90 in 4th

Brandon both times I went I ran in 4th gear. It was very slick when I ran the 3.58 and had some tack to it when I ran the 3.73. The track was so equal no one could really pass that night.

I won't be able to Brandon. Started a new job a few weeks ago in Madison and I get out at 3pm. It makes Manitowoc races hard to make on time. Going to skip a few of those :(

Unless gas prices can come drastically down again. Over $100 to get to that track and back in fuel for me. That's also the reason why I'm probably not going to Iowa this year. I want to go to Knoxville but it wont fit in my budget.

Burnt the clutch up tonight,
Was running 8th in a 23 car field and just started fading away.
Held them off until about 3 to go, and thats all she had left.
Coasted around to a 20th place finish or so.
I hate that smell.
Better than being on my roof though!  :P
