That photo is not real clear which I'm sure is not the fault of Ricks Pic or of his equipment. I suspect someone moved just as he snapped the picture.

Rick must have taken that picture early on before the crowd arrived and while Landon and I were either in the pits or below the grandstand. Kelly looks as if she wished to be somewhere else. :2:

He left today to go back home and bust my butt if I don't already miss him and his brother. Well, their mom too.

I told Landon that if he wanted and if we had asked really nice Cecil would have let him sit in the 2s car. But he didn't seem to be interested. Who can figure kids out?

And Cecil is right about the track on Saturday. Preparing a dirt track seems to be as much art as it is science. Dave and the crew get it right more often than not. But then there are others who do the same here in our state.

Quiet, numbskulls. I'm broadcasting.

anytime, Danny. Some kids are timid at first. Give him time and keep making the offer. Eventually he'll do it and he'll enjoy the experience. Oh, and bring a camera!

Moto, quite a few guys took them off. When Dickie Gaines drove our car he insisted that we take it off. We haven't put it on since. Jeff Walker even took the mounts for the sway bar off of his cars. Two that did run them Saturday were Tim Spindler and Joss Moffat. Nobody bicycled more than Joss that night!!! I really can't believe he didn't tear it up but, he held onto it. He is an excellent driver.

Brady Short never takes his off (and I don't think Darren Clayton does either) and I never see him "biken it". If there working right I don't think they will.

The ladder broke on andrew elson's car with about 10 laps to go. The only thing left holding the car up was the top tube of the ladder and the upper straps the rest of the ladder was gone. Still managed a 3rd place finish, but the last few laps were a little hairy. As for the sway bar i have had better results without it.
