Okay we have the winners first race which was 1/4 mile first place was Anthony Gallo RU Anthony Puleo that was raced 9. Race number 10 1/8 mile Winners was Ethan Doty RU Richard Mortell.

Well I couldn't get to the end but I tryed I couldn't see out of my windshield it was wet and damp and fogging up bad I was going on instinct with my reaction times couldn't see the light. Doty is 9.65 and gets a 031 I dial a 8.22 and get a 044 and ran a 8.229 to 9.654 I lose,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

As everybody knows I'm the bad guy at the race track at PBIR in my second practice round my oil filter came off the car and oil down the track as I looked in my rearview mirror I see my car smoking really bad so I pulled over like a experience racer does I seen oil all away down to the eighth mile I screwed everything up. So now I get towed back to the pits. So I asked my buddy Bill give me a ride down to get oil and the oil filter which took about a good hour I got back change the oil with the oil filter in time for race one.................. talk about stress......

Congrats on a good showing. Especially after a stress inducing event like the oil filter.
