Check this out guys, this is some funny stuff.

I know the guy who made this, and I don't think he was sandbagging, he was tea bagging!!!! And I will tell him what I think at the next race.

This might be the best advise you have gotten on here Vetter1. I know how some of you old guys need things explained in simple terms.

Funny part is that there is a lot of great info in the clip. The sad part is that a lot of racers don't have a clue and will never get it. Doug, post was not directed at you.

Hey.. I did what you explained to me 2 weeks ago at E Town (opening day) I haven't seen a "FULL TREE" in over a year.. last year I raced off a .500 Pro Tree.. but I have to get back in tune with the Full Tree for 09..

I made 6 runs... 5 of them were between .020 and .053 one I screwed up on and went .202 I went in too deep & tried to back up when the tree started coming down.. But I "Hope" I found my spot....

I'm glad someone was hitting the tree cause it sure wasn't me. I was all over the place. I need to clear my head and settle down for next weekend. I'll deep stage and adjust my dialin to go slower. Wait, I just pulled the 200lbs out of my car. Shoot, I'm going to go faster.
