5/21/11 5th place

mrtsrt8 · 05-23-2011, 09:38 PM

on the 7th we lost a front bumper, rt. horn (frame at front ) both front fenders, hood, 2 tires, crunched door ( fixed that ) and other misc. stuff. T.J. ended in 14th place. Had to pull off twice in the "A" main.

This week He held on to 3rd in the heat race. The last turn of the race some SOB from Porterville slamed the rt rear and tryed to take Him out, He held on to it and took 4th place.

Karma, T.J. started front outside. the ohter guy started around 8th to 12th place.
T.J. held on to 4th & 5th for about 15 out of 20 laps. The car was on rails all night. He ran His line all night. there was NO yellow flag the whole 20 laps ( 6 mi. + -).
White flag the leader 19 laps lost it on turn one. T.J. moved back to 5th.
WHOOOHOOO.
The news paper printed His name on Sunday, that was cool. Just his name but that still cool.
Who knows may be NASCAR some day

You two are certainly enjoying this newfound passion!! Congrats to your son on 5th place, too. I wouldn't have any idea what to do with all that twisted metal that happens at each race, lol!

It's easy,,LOL.

Just take it off the car, pound it out, or remake it, or find it at a wrecking yard. Then put it back on the car. On the bright side there is no interior or lights to mess with. It dose'nt need to be perfect either.
