Title: OUCH Racing......results Post by Racer1_NC on Nov 7th, 2004, 12:28am Well......I wish I had good news....but I don't. A massive crash on the 3rd lap ended our season, and about 10 other teams about 97 laps early. While it was no fault of ours, and nothing we could have done to prevent it, it still sucks to end the season on a down note. Here are some pics from earlier in the day....before our race started. As the late afternoon sun casts long shadows across the track, the top three cars in the "last chance qualifying race" race for the lead..... http://home.triad.rr.com/wmingus/lastchance.jpg CH.com's favorite photographer (Vig) stands a top the pit wall watching teams prepare for the main event... http://home.triad.rr.com/wmingus/Paul.jpg The on track autograph session.... http://home.triad.rr.com/wmingus/pitparty.JPG Our driver (middle) chats with a fan as our scorer Tabitha looks on.... http://home.triad.rr.com/wmingus/jayand%20fan.jpg Just incase you have ever wondered what race cars looked like 40-50 years ago, here is a shot of antique racer...they had race for them this weekend.... http://home.triad.rr.com/wmingus/jonny.JPG |

Title: Re: OUCH Racing......results Post by Kevin_M on Nov 7th, 2004, 8:14am Thanks for the pics Paul. Bill, your team has great potential. Circumstances what they can be sometimes though... it can get a bit crowded on those early laps. Big season next year. Hey Paul, I had a little racer like that when I was small. My parents never told me there was a whole circuit going on for racing with them. I should have had a number painted on the side of it and painted "grandma" on the back as a sponsor. Pedals to the metal. ;;D |

Title: Re: OUCH Racing......results Post by vig on Nov 7th, 2004, 9:15am Pegg, What? me serious? just bummed that I had to wear long pants for the first time since MarCH... [smiley=laugh.gif] Kevin, most of those were Bill's. He just got a new camera and he pulled it out and played with it at the track. [smiley=laugh.gif] anyway, It was a great day before the wipeout. This time there were people from all over the eastern United States, not just the south. The crash took out most of the southerners.... course it was started by a southerner too, so there. http://www.kdlltd.com/vig/northSouth41wrecker.jpg The low point of the evening. That's the wrecker towing off the OuCH car. The fates would not let me take any picture of the wrecked car. The camera refused to click when I pointed it at it. This is driver Jay Hedgecock signing autographs (with the blue shirt and grey hat.) http://www.kdlltd.com/vig/northSouthOuCHJay.jpg Lots of really cool cars were racing. http://www.kdlltd.com/vig/northSouthRacer.jpg A "Yank's" car from above: http://www.kdlltd.com/vig/northSouth2Topt.jpg Click below for full size: www.kdlltd.com/vig/northSouth2Top.jpg The 'Pit Party' http://www.kdlltd.com/vig/northSouthAutographst.jpg Click below for full size: www.kdlltd.com/vig/northSouthAutographs.jpg As the CHicago Cubs would say: Wait 'til next year. |
