May has been one up and down month so far. Things have gone either really really right or really really wrong. In the IMCA Stock Car I have two feature wins and a heat win this month, but I have also been wrecked by the same loose cannon that manages to wreck everyone at least once a year. I guess every track has one of those, though. He gave me slide job coming off of turn four and put me in the front stretch wall. I still mamged to limp home in third. Damage was: bent frame, rf upper control arm, inner and outer lf tierods, three wheels, one tire, broken motor mount, both front fenders, hood and nose piece, lr upper shock mount and both front fender mounts. Sheesh.

The hobby stock with my 17 year old boy driving has had a great run this month. Only thing gone wrong (besides a pretty good sized engine fire in the shop, LOL) was a tranny that lost 1st, 2nd and reverse gears. Both times he has raced this month he has started in the back of a 15 car field and has finished 3rd and 4th respectively. Not too darn bad for 15 lap features. Man, that kid impresses the hell out of me, he can work traffic like no one else in that class at Thunder Mountain Speedway.

We are gonna try to make it to Cortez, CO for their IMCA Stock Car race next month. Its been a few years for me since we've raced there last, but I have always liked that track very much and have always run well there. Something about that track suits my driving style to a "T". We will probably go to Cortez again in July and August.

See ya at the races!
