Hello tonight was my first time to the track. And I had a ball! Yea I have just a stock Slash but still had fun! I will definitely be back on Thirsdays to run around the track and practice before I start to go on Saturdays to race. It was nice to see alot of Short course trucks out there. Well thanks for having such a great place that allows us to have fun and stay out of trouble at!

Don't be afraid to come and race on Wed or Sat. You will get ten times the experience and skill running on a race night vs a practice night. There are a lot of friendly people who will help you.

Practice nights are good too but until you race you won't know what you really need to practice.

I raced last night and had a blast! Granted I didnt win but I did have fun. I finished 5th in the main. I will be back in two weeks to race again. I wanted to say thanks to everyone that I talked to that gave me advice. See you in two weeks.

Hey that's great!
Glad you decided to race with us!!
I told ya you'd like it.
And that was a slow night with 62 entries. Wait til we get back to 90-ish. As long as the new race director can get things moving along that is. It seemed like a long night for 9 heats. But being his 2nd week I'm sure he's just getting warmed up. Soon he'll be calling the battles and livening up the racing a bit with some exciting commentary instead of just lap times and running order off the computer.

I thought he was new at what he was doing. But all in all he did good. But hey why dont they run like a combine race at the end of the night with the top three or four from both Short course races like the real ones? Start the slower ones on the back streatch and the faster trucks on the front streatch? I think that would be cool! A pro2 pro4 and lites LOL
