Patti, do you remember seeing the car in my avatar run at Niagara back in 1993? We were the only straight up TQ chassis there so we weren't hard to miss. Bob Nichols thought it would be fun for me to go try running with the sidewinders so we made the trek. We did pretty good until the go-karts went out and laid down so much rubber that I spent the remainder of the weekend with the right rear pretty much the only tire touching the ground. I remember the guy leading the feature for 49 1/2 laps only to run out of full a 1/2 lap short.
Was really fun although I spent my 17th birthday sitting alone in the motel while my crew went to some bar that Bob new about. They did bring me a cheeseburger back as a birthday present!! :doh: I will say one thing though in that every one of them were very friendly and willing to help us out any way they could.
