Shane took a big ride on his first lap of his qualifying attempt tonight. Was looking forward to seeing him run without the wing. He did get out of the car immediately.

Does he get the grand for being highest woo finisher?

Ancient wise man say man who get into race for free never see bad race.

No clue. I know they are negative about 30k+ tonight. Glad he's ok. He took a pretty big ride. It was good to see a WOO guy take the wing off. Great looking car.

I thought there was $1000 dollars for the best finish Saturday of a WOO regular driver. Are these separate bonuses. Brady has run with them but I wouldn't consider him a regular.

OK just found my answer in the race rundown. AS stated Brady won best two day average. Shane won best Woo driver finish on Sat. Hard way to get it though.

He looked good in hot laps too.

beinthecircle might be talking about the track ? Pretty light crowd.

Been about 15 years since I've been to the Burg. 1st since being redone, was a pretty good track before & I think it's a pretty good track now, WOW. The only thing I can think of that Dave could do is put lights in the porta potties, well really wouldn't work on a night like to tonight since if you couldn't find it you probably wouldn't see it either. At any rate just kidding about the lights in them.

Unless they damaged the motor, how are they out 30k?
Just glad he's ok. He was floating the cushion in hot laps and wasn't getting passed, he just went in a little hot in qualifying and hopped the cush in three, it got nasty from there. Just glad he's ok. Gotta give big props for trying, Give this guy 50 laps practice NW and he wouldn't just be trying to make the race. I bet he'd be a serious contender to win.

That's my point exactly. Front axle $150, 2 rims $300 each, 2 shocks $400, torque tube $150, couple arms and stops $200..I actually run one of these, and that's at max $2000 unless frame bent, then add another $1000 to clip it. You can buy 1 year old rollers on this site for $7-8,000 including all wheels, tires, and even the seat.
