I had kind of a rough night. I was pretty sick when I showed up. (Side effect from medicine.)
Then I discovered a serious steering issue with my truck. Then 3 of my tires came unglued
during qualifying because I forgot to sand the chrome off the rims. Then I lost the cap for
my fuel bottle. Then, to top it all off, just as the main was supposed to start my truck died.
I got it restarted and when I went to put it back on the track, someone was in my position.
I was trying to figure out who it was and then the buzzer went off and I was standing there
holding my truck. I was feeling pretty bad (nauseous) at this point so I packed up and left.
Sorry I didn't stay to say goodbye but I didn't want to barf on anyone!!! :eek:
Believe it or not, it was still pretty fun. Can't wait for next Saturday!!!

I had fun overall. My truck sucked.
Yeah TRC you have to be extra ready or they will qualify/race without you.

This very same thing happened to me in St.Louis. My truck died waiting for the "Go" signal, I came down off the drivers stand to start it, and they started the race....

I know it's going to happen to me.... sometime. I won't be ready.
I found out in STL when I was having a bunch of problems with my truck during a race. Instead of fixing it (3 min fix) I figured I'd pretty much just quit. But you never really know how the race will end so no matter what you should always try to finish a race. There is plenty of time to catch other people during a race. Just wait for them to take a spill and cruise by.......

Of course I realize TRC was about to "spill"
so under that certain circumstance I would in no way finish a race.
