That's two years in a row that someone got pulled over. Did you get a ticket Dave?

I double booked myself with the GF's and her family so I said if it was raining I would back out and go with her. Hope you guys had a lot of fun!!! Can't wait for the next meet when the weather cooperates.

PS - I just got my second feature win at Raceway Park in Shakopee. If anyone is interested in coming out give me a heads up so I can stop up and say hi during the races. I race every Sunday afternoon.

I've decided the front bumper on the Z needs to be resprayed, badly. I went to the body shop that did the work on the Z last year, and the lowest they could go is $383. That's also if I bring them the bare bumper, does that seem like a fair price, or should I try some other places?

that is a fair price -> 350-450 is the ballpark I would expect

Absolutely...the more people that come out the more fun ! Be sure to give me a call or shoot me an email when you are planning to come out. I race every sunday night starting at 5pm until June comes around. Then it starts at 6pm.

I will race a few Friday nights but am not sure which ones yet. I tend to plan that on shorter notice.

Here is the website...www.goracewaypark.com just click on schedule which is located on the left hand side. You can also see the photos of me along with family and friends in Victory Lane the last few weeks. There is also a few notes about me in the 2nd press release that was sent out.
