I was able to roll it onto the trailer Saturday (10th) and Sunday (11th) !
Those are like victories after the way the month of July was.

Always a plus when you can put it back on the trailer in one piece Jim!!!  ;)

Sorry that I have been gone the past 10 days (on vacation). I'm going to have to catch up on things.
Welcome to all the new members!

I did get a chance to meet Justin Comer and his dad (Dave). Very nice people!  Thank You for the T-shirt, hoodie and shocks guys!!!!
Wish I had an extra day to stay and watch you race. Sorry that I didn't have time to head north and meet John. Perhaps next year.  ;)
Dave and Justin gave me some renewed energy to get busy and get my cars going. Rhonda got a chance to sit in one of their cars. She's pretty tall and had to kind of fall into it. lol!

I'll check out the posts and see what I can help with. Good to be back home!!

Finally ran my first race last night. Had a blast started 10th and finished 7th, got lapped a few times, but kept the car in one piece and learned a lot. Looking forward to the next one.

Congratulations Brian!
Things will improve as you get used to the car and get it dialed in.

Started 17th, finished 10th, and rolled it onto the trailer the 3rd race in a row WOOOOHOOOO.
Hopefully tonight will bring more mediocre results and no crashes  ;D

Congratulations Ethan on the win

Thoughts and prayers for Ethan Ross after his flip last night.
Last report from his moms facebook page:
"Dr. Was just here pretty sure Ethan will be in a backbrace for 12 weeks."

Get well soon ET

Ethan update. (About an hour ago. Posted on facebook by Ann)

His discomfort level is about a 3. His pissed off level prob. 100!
He may not get his brace till tomorrow. That means another night here. I will keep u all informed. He does remember the flipping he will get back in a car when the dr says go. Thanks everyone

Have seen Ethan pop on here a couple of times today. I hope that he is as well as can be expected.
Figure if he's checking the site, then he will be just fine.  ;)

A speedy recovery my friend!
Lots of support for you here on the site.
