OUCH Racing Results....UPDATED WITH PICS!

After Sunday's rainout we finally got the race in last night. After qualifing second, we started 7th after the top 8 qualifiers were inverted. (series rule) The track we ran last night is a tight, one groove track which resulted in lots of beating, banging, pushing, and shoving.....but not much passing.
On lap 121 of the 150 lap race, we cut the left front tire down......got it changed during the resulting caution period, and charged back to 7th as the checkered flag flew. All things considered, not a bad night.
Vig once again came up for the race, making it just in time for the green flag. Our regular spotter was unable to attend so I was pressed into that role. I grabbed Vig and took him up with me to the spotters stand....he should have some great pics to share......
While I was unable to hear the track announcer during the race, my wife who was in the stands told me that OUCH was mentioned several times during the race.....
Next race will be June 11......IM me for details...

How fast is he going Bill?
You can't hear the noise, and you can't smell the spent fuel, and you can't feel the ground rumble. The pictures can't capture it.

Sounded like a tough route around the track Bill. Good showing. Hard to pass on those tracks. Thanks for the OUCH in everyone's face that was racing behind you. That annoucer is real cool too.

Great pics Vig!!
Pole speed was around 99 mph......speed down the straights should be about 120 or so......not bad for a 3/8 mile bull ring.
