August '08
August...This past month we were very consistant. Got another couple of feature wins at
Thunder Mountain Speedway with no finish lower than 3rd. We had a really bad scare a
couple of weeks ago when the car in front me in a heat race checked up hard coming off
of turn four. All seven of us in the heat were tightly bunched up. I climbed the other guy's
left rear, right side of my car got launched far enough in the air that I thought I was gonna
go for a barrell roll, got tagged by another car and got sent nose into the front stretch wall.
I ended up with a slight case of whiplash and a bruised left foot and ankle. The got both
front fenders, left inner and outer tierods, center link, nose, two wheels and a tire.
Oh yeah....and the frame got bent...again. So we thrashed on "The Bride" and got her
back together as best we could....and went out and won the feature! We raced at
Fairgrounds Speedway in Cortez, CO on August 29 and 30. Won the heat on the 29th,
finished second the feature. Saturday, the 30th, we ran second in the heat and third in
the feature. Good enough to lock up Colorado State IMCA Stock Car points Championship.
