sounds like a pretty cool setup, what kind of times do u get. or don't you do and 1/4 mile stuff

I don't drag race this one. We do a 3/8 mile oval dirt track I've honestly forgot what kind of times we run but, I know that I figured up average speed one time and I believe it was somewhere around 67 mph. When your on a bumpy dirt track running that fast three wide, it feels a whole lot faster. My top speed is around 72 mph maybe a hair faster.

sounds inense, is there a lot of bumping around or do you have plenty of room to move around?

Well 9 times outta ten you've got alot of rubbing goin on. Usually we have about five to ten cars in the heat race and that determines where you start the feature, If you finish last or break down in your heat, then you have to start in the back with "the crazies" , those are the newbies and non-drivin SOB's of the bunch When you start in the back, you usually have a lot more battle scars to show for it but, it makes for an exciting night, I kinda like it .On a normal night we have about twenty or so cars on the track in a feature race. The largest race I've ever raced in was a 100 lap enduro with 76 cars, it was so packed that lead cars were about 30 car-lengths away from the tail-end of the field, it was Awsome.Tell ya what, Go find a local dirt track near you and watch those guys run. I'm racing tonight, if you want me to I'll post a new thread and keep you guy's posted on how we do. I never have won the first race of the year, we'll see if we can't break that habbit tonight. Wish me luck!!

i wish there was a dirt track near me but the only one i have ever even heard rumors of is 1 1/2 hour drive, but i can't find any info on it in the phone book or whatever. unfortunately dirt track racing is more of an American tradition so they are few and far between up here in Canada

Well, we got rained out last night but, I did get to scope out some of my competition. There was a Probe GT, which will probably be fast but I imagine they will have reliability problems, a newer Dodge neon, fast but I can out corner them and then I saw it, A blue Mitsubishi 3000 GT or stealth, I couldn't tell off hand which one it was because the rear hatch was missing, but it looked real good I beleive this will be my best copetition, if it runs half as good as it looks. That's alright though, Last year I did just enough stuff to my car to stay ahead of my competition, I've still got a few more legal tricks up my sleeve just in case somebody brings something wickedly fast. www.windyhollowspeedway.com in Owensboro, Ky will be racing May 2, tomorrow and I'll be there, thats where I won the points Championship in 2001. See ya
