Man there are some severe thunderstorms down in these parts! Washed out racing at 439 raceway on Saturday, mothers Day killed racing on Sunday, and now it looks like it might rain this weekend. Man I didn't realize how good it was to have an indoor track so close!

You could try putting 1/12th scale tires on the rear of his car,, that would slow it down,,,

I was going to remove the screws from his rear tires when he wasn't looking.

take out all but one and leave it loose. The vibration will get the screw to fall out and sideline him.
sorry Todd

Just don't tell him it was my idea. He might hold it against me.

Hey, asphalt dries a lot quicker than wet sloppy clay dirt tracks do. and they don't grow ruts either.

Well, it poured down here last night, but when I spoke to my sister last night, it hadn't rained a drop in Grantham. No rain so far this morning, sun peeking out of the clouds... we may get to race at TalledegaWood today!

Thank goodness race day is over. If it wasn't for the car spinning out it was something else coming apart. All in all great day of racing and blowing donuts in front of the leaders.

Well, the car handled pretty good yesterday, sat on pole, and led the most laps, only to get taken out by a lapped car two laps from the end of the race. But that's racing, right?

No, Todd doesn't take other cars out on purpose.

He didnt take you out on purpose. It was his first race in LTO, and he apologized to you.

Didn't look that way to me. I was passing him on the inside down the back stretch when he turned left, BEFORE we got to turn 3. But if I'm wrong then I apologize for getting worked up. Didn't know this was his first time racing this class.

There was no malicious intent. I put all the electronics and motor in the car for him last week... He had been racing legends and just isn't that good at driving it yet.
