well, another wek at the dirt track and another week driving home shaking my head wondering why.
evening started out ok. there was a low car count so making it into the feature was a non-issue. heat race starts, track has a lot of bit. this would be a good time to have one of those fancy motors with all the power, maybe next year. lol
car was working good though, and into the feature we go.
this is when the fun begins, as usual.
randy started 4th in the feature and immediately got racey. car was working great. laps are flying by and randy is in a little pack of cars fighting over 2nd through 5th. then, as the story of the season goes, it all went to ****.
left rear goes flat. actually, flat is an understatement. the tire flew into pieces. he gets in and we get the wheel off, only to find the carcass of the tire wraped around the axle tube/brakes/torsion arm/birdcage/shock. with the help of a guy from the team taht pits across from us we got it untangled and the new tire on. randy headed back out to the track and we though everything was cool. WRONG!!
we didn't notice in the rush that the tire had taken out the brake line. it actually ripped the fitting straight out of the caliper. so randy went flying out onto the track with no brakes. lol
he kept it under control and managed to get it back to the pits ok.

this season is getting on my nerves. every time the car is really working good this **** happens. if the car is junk it wouldn't stop running for anything in the world.
i have been around long enough to know that racing has it's ups and downs. i jsut wanna see a few ups before the season ends.
tonights fun prolly pushed randy back out of the top 10 in points too. thre are only 6 or 7 points nights left and everyone is really tight. so this **** has to stop or he won't get a check at the end of the year.
