The real Ruzzel brought his half-grown offspring with him. She thought I should learn to dance. Over..Up..Down..right foot..Over..Up..Down..left foot? Ooohh! I'm sooo confused!! :confused: I'd better stick to drivin' and let the dancin' to those with some rhythm. :p

Stock Stadium was very busy. We actually kept the turn marshalls awake. Don't know if it was the track action or the Inga action. :tongue:

Ruzzell I need to tell you that your beta unit from the planet PUNKEDWUZEYE has exstensive knowledge of tie rod linkages. So I am very happy with him so we will send a rescue party someday. Enjoy your stay.

Greetings Earthlings!- I have been in constant contact with my beta unit and he tells me things are getting faster at the track even in stadium truck!! I heard that my female halfling has been kicking tale in novice pan. No doubt this is from genetic engineering technology I have picked up from my alien friends. Well this should be the week that my beta clone actually turns some good laps in stock pan. He tells me that week he had to play catch up after a bad tangle in the main but still did ok. WE WILL SEE!!!

Sorry about missing the preview to the Budwhisher shoot out last Friday night. Fact is, a Bud probably would improve my driving. :jest: Couldn't hurt the spelling, either.

Did the real Inga show up? How about the real Ruzzel? You know, that if only one shows at a time, well it could be that Superman/Clark Kent thing. You never know which one is going to show. :tongue:

See y'all Friday! :wave:

You missed a lot Friday night raisingkahne9. The 10 stock track record fell by a whole lap Smoke was on fire... Stadium Open's track record fell by 3 seconds. There was an awsome touring car A main race that had the entire track population out watching it. It was a very good night overall. CYA all Friday

:wave:

There were more track records that fell last Friday nite. I believe the 4 cell stock mark was lowered by 2 seconds. I managed to break the Stock Stadium record on a fast track set up by the Open Stadium crew. They also lowered their record in the process.

I tried to learn some new moves from Ruzzel's half-spring. Left...right...up...left...right...down...ouch!!! :o Pulled a muscle, didn't warm up enough. I be a reachin' for the Icey-Hot for a few days. Maybe some Icey-Hot could help my driving. :hat:

Go Kahne Go!!

See y'all Friday. :wave:

Mix some serious speed, some very skilled drivers, highly tuned electronics, track records, and great facilities and what do you get?

Our recent March Madness Race in Van Wert.

The action was fast and competitive. "The Crew" supplied the action. Join us next year! :wave:

Hey guys we had a great March madness race like Mike said. We all had fun and believe it or not it was good CLEAN racing. Thanks to Mike and his assistant we have a picture from that night showing everyone who raced. I want to say thanks to my little helpers who helped me get the track ready for the race. Oh Russ you missed Inga but she did say Hi. Thanks to all who raced and next year we will be a little more prepared and try to get the numbers up.

I'll be up there... Did some work to the buggy so hopefully the rims wont break every round just from landing a jump. If it works then I can spend the summer perfecting them and maybe do a little dirt racing at Summit.

The track is now CLOSED for the summer :cry: . We will be doing some maintenance work this summer as well as general upkeep. We are looking at opening up again mid September. I know there is a few of us that are going to run some offroad dirt races at Summit this summer so if your interested get a hold of me and I'll call you when the rest of us go. You can get my number from Mark. Till then have a great summer and thanks for racin with us this year.
