Title: OUCH race car in action this weekend! - UPDATED
Post by Racer1_NC on May 14th, 2004, 1:29pm
For those that have been following the OUCH racing promotion.....

So far, our search for a paying sponsor has come up empty.  :(  Not good news. The positive spin is the OUCH logo will remain on the car for this Sunday's 150 lap race in Elkin, NC.

For those within easy driving distance, come on out and support the team and share in our efforts to get the word out about CH.

More information can be found at the series website @ www.southernmodified.com and at the track's website, www.friendshipmotorspeedway.com/ .

I wish I was in close driving distance to you. I'm a huge racing fan. I've even got my 3 year old daughter watching Nascar with me every Sunday.

Get on up to Illiana Speedway in N/W Indiana some time so I can see you.

Good luck with the sponsor search and I hope you get to the finish line first.

Thanks for all the positive vibes!

ExplodingEyeBall - The ASA, based in Indiana took over our series this year, so I suppose it's possible we could race there. They'd have to come up with a great purse to make the travel for the teams work.  Next time I'm traveling in the area, I'll check out that track. Always looking for a good show.

Echo - I wish  a win would help, we won 3 last year and once this year.  I'm still working on some leads......

Luke63 - The car is owned by David Pinnix of Kernersville Motorsports and driven by Jay Hedgecock. I've been involved in this end of motorsports for 20 or so years at various levels. Among other things, I'm the "offical" unoffical PR guy for the team.  ;) I've been with the driver in the vast majority of his efforts since 1987.

I will of course post results Sunday evening.

Once again, thanks for the great responses!

Bill

Well.....the rain won out today.......a hugh downpour caused our race today to be rescheduled for this coming Friday night.

The rain my have been a blessing in disguse as we fought power steering problems that caused the team to replace both the rack and pinion and the power steering pump. This in turn limited our practice time. When things go wrong, they snowball sometimes.

And....to top it off, the demon came calling while we were working on the power steering...I had to retreat to the hauler and fight with him for 40 minutes or so while everyone else fixed the car. Grrrr....

Now...the positives.....the car was fixed and we did qualify before the rain came. The best thing.....Vig came up to watch the OUCH car and take a few pictures. Vig vowed to return for the Friday night show......we could have a regular meet and greet if a few more clusterheads show up.  ;;D

Blue_Meanie

When's the last time you were at Illiana? They've done a bunch of remodeling. New bathrooms...Now you can flush instead of just pissing on the wall. Repaved the track. It's now a double track with a 1/2 mile oval that shares the front stretch with a smaller 1/4 mile oval.

The inside oval is used for pit areas for bigger races. I think they fixed up the parking a little bit too. I just about live there on the weekends that I'm not camping in the summers.

Bad weather has stopped me from getting there yet this year. If it rains next Saturday, I'm gonna find me a raincoat and hope they race.

Racer
I may be seeing you soon. I am pretty sure that Illiana has ASA races there some times. I went to a special 250 lap race there last year and I'm pretty sure it was ASA.

Good luck with the number 41.
I hope to see you in N/W Indiana.

Pat
