Sounds like a nice comeback Geoff. Hope the damage is minimal...or at least duct-tape-able!

Rear suspension is junk, left rear wheel is bent, left front fender and hood. I have a tire burn on the windshield pillar and windshield. Also the fitting for the top end oiler has a small crack. I don't know how I finished as well as I did. The rear end is over 4 inches to the right and the right trailing arm has a 2 inch bow in it pulling the axle forward. I need to place an order with VMS Motorsports.

We've got Thunderstorms here, not sure about at the track...don't know how much more of the rain the track can take without falling...
We sure needed the rain, but this is overkill

This sucks.
Friday, rained out.
Saturday, best run of my life (6th in the "A"). Started 3rd, led 4 or 5 laps, then settled into 3rd and could barely see the cars behind me on the in-car camera, then we got a caution and I got lined up behind a lapped car, slowed me down just enough, then I overdrove a bit to try to get back up there and lost another 2 spots.
Sunday, rained out.

Nothing like getting all pumped up with a good finish and then getting rained out.

Guess I'll go talk to my wife and kids or something  :P

Lead most of my heat race then a guy got around with 1 to go, so 2nd.  Then in the main ran in the top 5 the whole race then there was a front running car spinning off of 4 last lap. Yellow light came on and I slowed and went high.  The track then through  the checkers and it was over. Well when the yellow came out I was passed by 4 cars and the track did not restart or reset the line up to the last lap so, after in the lead pack and top 5 I got ^@^%%&)# 9th!!:(

Ol well loaded it up and had a good night , but still sux

Thanks guys. Saturday in Beaver Dam i started on the pole and was running 2nd and 3rd throughout the first 18 laps and couldn't get above the leader to pass him. Then on the last lap i hit a bump coming out of turn 4 and almost completely lost the car and finished 6th.

Tonight in Sun Prairie the car ran pretty good in the heat race finishing 5th. For the feature i started on the outside front row and overdrove the first corner dropping back a few spots. With about 5 laps to go a car got loose above me and hit my RF pretty hard which broke the spindle. Should have the car ready for saturday.

My update... See "Ancient History" thread.
My move is complete, but still don't have an internet provider. Have been borrowing computers when I can to stay in touch.
Life is good, but busy. I messed up my back a few days ago... REALLY HURTING... Will get through it though.
Stay in touch and let eveyone know how the end of the season is going.

Best Wishes To Everyone,

Steve
