Yeah.......no steering and no brakes after the impact with the wall. He said once he saw the first car clear him he just hit the gas for the infield.

Car looked better in the light of day than it did last night when we were pushing it in the trailer. Should be ready for round two in two weeks.

Yup that is the reason we went down there. Thought there would be a good car count. 21 is not bad, but for a big race you need atleast 25. Only say that because of how hard the track is on equipment. Only 18 in the feature. Look how many cars across the board broke in practice. Now on the positive side of things, feature was good. T-Mez was the show, hands down! I think that w\race was his, cautions were flying at the right time. Very glad the track reworked the corners before the feature. That helped a ton. Leary is looking good for the championship. Brought a first timer with me. He was in aww at the track. Think we may go next weekend for the tin tops.

@ Mr. Big Airplane: The three guys who had really brief evenings all had issues unrelated to how hard the track is on equipment.

Other than that, your post is an A+. The race is usually run at a time of year when car counts aren't necessarily the greatest at any track.

And yes, I know that Paragon had 40 cars.;)
