I did race this past saturday and sunday.  Saturday wasn't too bad finished 6th.  Sunday on the other hand sucked, got involved in a wreck caused by 2 other cars.  Hit one car with the left front of my car.  Jambed my wrist into the steering wheel, so that hurt.  The car on the other hand, so far needs a bumper, steering arm, and possibly a spindle.  Will get the car out of the trailer saturday.  Was going to work on it today but the guys are still working on my house from last yrs hail and they have their trailer parked in front of mine.

Hope to race this memorial day in MInot.

Joe,

I hope that wrist is OK!
Also hope that the damage to the car isn't too bad.

Take Care and Best of Luck!

So Steve doesn't yell at me...

Friday Night at Chilton, made less than 2 laps in the heat race. By the time they got me out of the infield had quite a group of fellow racers waiting for my car to get off the hook. Intermittant fuel pressure loss. After the 2nd new fuel pump, swapping carbs, etc., it became an intermittant no spark, fuel was fine. Traced to a loose connection under the dash for the ignition switch. Luckily, pulling the carbs moved the choke cable enough to knock the wire completely loose, otherwise we never would have found it. I have to give a big thanks to everyone who came over to help...most of the time there were so many people working on my car I couldn't get near it.

Got it fixed with about 10 minutes to spare before the Main. Started 14th, finished 7th.

Oh yeah...Jeff won...blah blah blah  ;D

Hopefully Chris and I will both be racing in Beaver Dam tonight, but it IS Saturday, so Its raining  :-[

Jim,

As quick as you threw the car together, you are going to have to expect to work out some bugs.
It's awesome that "the guys" were willing to jump in and help!!! You don't always see that.
Did I forget to remind you to stay out of the infield? Sorry! My Bad!!!  :-[
I know I told you "The Hook" was never a good way to tow your race car.  :P
Good finish though!!!  Congratulations!

"Oh yeah...Jeff won...blah blah blah  ;D"
What kind of reporting is that!???
I expect something more like.... yeah, yeah, yeah; blah, blah, blah...Jeff won... blah, blah, blah.
Throw in some wild tale about blah, blah, blah... Pushed my car over the finish line... yahda, yahda, yada... But still managed to finish 7th.
It's all in the details.  :D :D :D

Seriously...
Congratulations Jeff!!!
I hope to see you contending for the chamionship!

Steve

PS,

Please post pic of the Trophy Girl.  :D ;D

Saturday sucked.

5th in the heat after starting on the pole. 3 cars had me in the first lap, lost 4th at the line after getting a little high in 4.
18th out of 22 in the Main after being hit on lap 12 by an over-zealous competitor and knocked from 11th to the rear of the field. Toe knocked out of whack so I just drove around.

Chris blew his engine in the Mod on the last lap of the B main.

Oh yeah...Jeff won...blah blah blah ;D

I swept the weekend winning my heat and the feature Friday at Chilton and Saturday at Charter Raceway Park.  At Charter in the feature I had a car spin down into me and hit my RR hard on the 2nd or third lap and tore my right side up but I still managed to win.  I looked things over a little closer and it tore the right side shock mount a little and was leaking gear lube and its also toed out 1/4" so it must have gotten bent too.  I got some work ahead of myself this week, way more than I should after winning all of my races.

Racecar spelled backwards is racecar. Racecar upside down is expensive.

Well we had our first solid outing.  I led most of the feature before being passed by the #1 Master and #1 Pro car.  So I came in 3rd for the feature but the 1st place semi-pro.

Finished 11th on Friday in Chilton and 16th on Saturday in Beaver Dam. Happy to bring the car home ready to race again. Had to dodge quite a few wrecks on Saturday.

Hey Everybody,
   Had my 2nd race of the season last night, throttle stuck to the floor and I hit the wall in turn 3 at full speed, I am a bit banged up but the car is a total loss. Don't know about the motor but the chassis is so bent it is irrepairable, I am thinking it would be cheaper to buy another car ( and quicker ) than to buy a chassis and try and rebuild this one. Not a good way to start my season !
