Looks like we found a car. I know, BIG. We are all in our 40s and have had a lot of experience on these things so this might be it. Going to be hard on the rubber.

I want to run two races next year one near here and the Rod Blagojevich Never-Say-Die 500 in Chicago since thats where I am from and where most of my team still lives.

For those that ran how banged up was the car after the race? I wold like to buy you a bear and hear about it sometime.

I’ve always wanted a bear!

The car was only banged up because ken decided to go on a little farming excursion into the tire wall. I really expected it to be a demolition derby at the beginning, but it really was far from it. Their penalties are pretty stiff, and the number of newbie drivers meant that there was very little contact, if any at all.

I was thinking beer (bear goes through spell check too) But if you are helpful enough we can talk about a bear for you.

Did not look like there was much contact in recent event videos but in early races it looked rough.

We need to get the car to run first…at least on more than 2 cylinders…LOL.
