      Yeah, we had like a minute to pick our poison and I had to make up some crap to eliminate 2 cars and pick one. As soon as the car started up (Camaro, is that what it was? haha ;) ), I realized what an epic mistake I had made! I didn't know Finch at the time so I didn't realize that they were throwing one of their best drivers at it, besides!



      I have trouble believing that those average speeds and the speeds in general they showed were anything more than completely made up. Can any of you guys confirm?

      Bo Duke should've subbed in his stunt driver

      Hi Todd,
      I knew enough to know that the odds were going to be stacked against me. I was a lot more confident when I was planning on coming on the race tires that my car was setup for. It was 2 weeks before the event that they declared the treadwear mandate. I took a shot anyway.
      I fully realized that contact was possible in a wheel-to-wheel event. While it sucks that I'm still trying to fix the car, I was never terribly upset about the incident. **** happens to racecars. I realize that, but must also say this is the most damage I've ever had on a car I was driving. I've been very fortunate in that regard.

      Now, I never would have thought about "the slap heard round the internets". I was initially totally shocked. I didn't even see Yancy there until his hand was in the car! I was utterly in complete shock. Didn't know what to think. I was upset about it for a while, but he and I have chatted and there are no hard feelings. I laugh as hard as anybody when I see it

      As for being pro, it depends on your definition. My day job is not as a racecar driver. I do have a side job through which I am paid to race, coach, and set up cars. That may be your definition of "professional". There are true pros who run in NASA events and there are also wealthy joes who race in pro road racing like Grand-Am, World Challenge, etc. I am working on a pro ride in Grand-Am, but it's a tough go. I certainly can't afford to pay my way in.

      THANKS to all who provided the warm welcome. I am on board with the bashing. It's all in good fun Me and my buddy who was there with me found it hard to come up with stuff to bash you guys with, though, because we quickly realized we were all a bunch of the same car guys, just in different fields. He did coin the term "The Million Dollar Rednecks" as a coping mechanism out of our jealously for some of your builds!

      Thanks, Brian. I also realized when I was chasing you that you weren't leaving anything on the table for me to take advantage of! Nice driving. I just wish I had known who YOU were, standing next to that... that.... that green thing with the interior. ;)

      You are entitled to your opinion. I put myself out there on this REALITY SHOW.

      It's not "Muscle", but you do see that Fiero GT in my garage, right? ;)
      I'm also the test driver for the Falcon F7 (www.falconf7.com), which does have a bit of muscle!

      Anthony is good people folks and is certainly welcomed around here. We just got to convert him to our side on the car choice. He comes pre approved by Danny Popp.

      Um, the F7 is powered by a GM LS engine just like a lot of Pro-Tour cars and the Red neck RX7 that was eliminated. SO, I'm going to call the F7 a Red-Neckmobile ;)
