Thanks guys! We had a great day. Luckily the car held up sort of....I lost my electric water pump in the semis. I was able to wire around the relay for the finals. Also this past weekend I broke the rear end gear, which was only 6 passes later, at the Division 3 bracket finals. I had the guy on the tree .018 to his .034 when it took all the teeth off of the pinion gear. A win there would have taken me down 10 cars. Two good weekends in a row and one broken rear end. But thats racing. It's back together already and we have a shot at a King of the track Wally this weekend. Stay tuned.

Get that King of the Track too !
Always extra cars on Wally days to work through so the wins mean a lot. King of the Track hat is pretty cool also.

Haha!! I’ll do my best. I always try to stay away from the 3 black GTOs. They are tough to beat. Are you guys coming over to Coles County this weekend or is there a King if the Track at Gateway this weekend also?
