The course is setup on the airstrip which has landing lights lining it. We've always been told, "break a light and it's $250". Well on there first run (son driving, father riding) the kid loops the car and BAM! Needless to say the father was less than happy. He says "LOAD IT UP!". "But Dad...." "I SAID LOAD IT UP, NOW!" Felt bad for them but you had to chuckle. Probably did $1000 worth of body damage on top of the light. BTW, I finally got a win in STS (patting myself on back).

I ran at the Detroit season opener, and got my @ss handed to me. I might have been a bit better off if it hadn't rained, but that is the breaks. I can't wait to put my new Bridgestones on this week and get back out there. Seems as though the off-the-rack "Sears Specials" just don't corner well...Strange, huh. ------------------ The Mark '98 SVT #464 of 6535 KKM, TH Fix --------------- Why is the alphabet in that order?
