I've got some catching up to do, Donny has 2 wins under his belt and I'm at 185 points in 2'nd. Hopefully the new truck will be as good as the others I have driven and I'll be able to make it a battle for the win.

I am doing pretty well in stock buggy. I am not happy that I am not in first place. I have to say that Coop is running a very clean race and that he is a very fast (15 Laps), great driver. I may be wrong but I think that none including mod truck have got 15 laps yet. All in stock buggy are running a great clean race and that makes it fun.

In stock truck Dave S. is running a very clean race and is very fast. I have not been able so far to challenge him because of the hacking in stock truck. It is just frustrating to get hacked and have no chance to run a good race. Especially at the start. I know that things happen and that hacking is part of racing. If this was just a club race then I would not complain, but this is a series race and everyone wants to have the best shot at winning. It is better for all the drivers in a race to have at least a clean start.

Hey guys, I should be back out on Friday night. I needed a little time off and my back's doing better. I'm sure it's too late to get into the series so I'll just run around the back and let you guys battle for the series race.

Sherman - Donny and I both made it to 15 laps on the first race night before it had been chopped up. The night Coop ran a 15, Donny was 1/2 second off going 16...

Ted - It's not even finished yet, went to Family today to get some tires and small parts, I'll be out there on Friday for the shake down race.

Well, just finished with the building of the T4 rolling chassis, just a few things left to do
like glue tires and set the tweek. The truck went together nicely and that diff is as smooth
as butter. I will be testing Setups wed. night for the races on Fri. I putted Don's truck around after the races
on Fri. night, and his truck is dialed, drives much better than my MF2, with much more steering. Can't wait
to drive mine tomorrow. Randy, let me know if you find out any tips that may be helpfull for our trucks, and I
will do the same if I find anything.

I'm picking Tony Phalen's brain with a couple questions, but it should be dialed out of the box, thats how Adam is running his and I believe Donny is switching to the Factory Team setup as well.
