Not who I had in mine. I haven't seen T. T. at a race in a long time, was surprised when I saw his name in the RCP results. But that's your part of TX so you have to deal with that, LOL. I think we should just blame insaneracin and be done with it, that's generally how we handle things around here. ha ha ha ha ha.

I marshalled a guy like that once probably five laps in a row. He knew his engine wouldn't stay running so it was full wood until I marshalled him. The last time I just let it sit b/c I was tired of it. When it died I tried to toss it so it rolled off the track where his pit person (wife) could get it. Well I ended up throwing the sob way harder than I thought and it cartwheeled about 10 times into a fence. lol The wife was calling me every name in the book but I didn't care b/c the guy roosted me four laps in a row previous.
hahahaha
Brad - that sucks man. Hope it heals somewhat fast.

Yeah he is, but you think he wouldn't use the "push to pass" on me if he needs it? Ha ha ha. Not in his league though, the only time it would be an issue is when he's coming around to lap me. Are you and your big toe coming to The River or is that too far a haul?

As for "push to pass..." That appears to be SOP in the Truggy class. I've never seen so much hacking in my life. Even the very worst sportsman buggy drivers aren't that bad!
Fortunately the Truggies are usually MOSTLY "self-marshalling." They almost always end up right side up... and the corrugated is just a speed bump. (Hence my motivation to change from buggy to truggy.)

I have a long held opinion that they should make you take a driving test and a personality test before they can legally sell you a truggy. I nearly took one in the head once during WARMUPS AT A CLUB RACE for chrissake. I told everyone to watch the tabletop (chickenwire and plywood at K&M) whilst I unstuck a truggy from underneath. Some offspring of a deep East Texas sibling union of course came over the jump WFO anyway, and it went off sideways and headed for my head. Luckily I saw it and swiped it with my hand, which made it tumble across the straight where it got nailed in the side. He took offense, I questioned his lineage. It might have gotten ugly had he been able to comprehend what I said, but fortunately his double digit IQ stood in the way. Watching a good driver wheel one is fun, but they're a menace in the wrong hands. If you come down we'll find you a marshal. I may only run GT which would leave me plenty of time. Depends on how much fishing I decide to do, LOL.
