WOW, no race rerports yet? Man, i even sat down to some pizza, and got all cleaned up before going online. lol. Anyway, heres my take on the day, and my race. First off, hats of to Al Mathewson for the TQ, and win in MT today. Its an honest, and well deserved win. I know he feels were sandbaggin sometimes, but thats simply not the case. Congrats on the win! On to the race day. Practice was nuts. That new layout is very cool, and my god i love how windy that infield is. Something about all that steering thru those turns, was just fun. I loved it. I even loved DOING the double crossovers, though i hope i never see them in a track locally again. I dont know if its generally accepted at bigger events, but many people thought they could try for a triple or even a quad out of that section. I would think that would be frowned upon, because they have to drive thru oncoming traffic when they do the triple, but who knows. Maybe im wrong. I just didnt like it. So i practiced until i could string together some clean laps, then sat around til qualifying. I got blasted during practice atleast 5 times, and only had minimal damage. That i know of anyway. I had a decent first qualifier, and then a better 2nd qualifier. A plug change for the 3rd left me flamed out early. Rather than trying to get laps in, i decided to bench tune the truck, and get it to idle properly. Which worked. In the main i got a horrible start when someone OTHER than my pit guy gave me a super pitch down the straight, causing me to tangle up with well... Any, and all traffic coming thru turn one. So i drove real hard after that to catch up, and warned the guys to my left, and right on the stand. Not hacking, just told em, im coming thru hard and aggressive. Everyone was real good on the track though. The top 3 finished pretty close. I was seconds behind the bat. But those two were driving their butts off. I was real happy with 3rd today, and seeing the top 3 soo close. The day went great, even with some issues i had with my truck and motor. I liked the oil change in the shocks, and will be making a few more changes as well. So anyway, the day was good. I loved the new body on the track as well. Gonna tweak that a bit for next time too.  Batman, pm me, we'll get you another body painted up.
