Made me want to start looking through kijiji for another dirt bike...
Was a great race last night!!
Honestly, Stewart hasn't raced that hard in a looooong time. He was absolutley shredding the track last night. That technical track would have played right into Villipoto's hands had he been healthy for the race last night. I didn't get all the details as we had friends over for chinese last night but still managed to catch most of it. Tedesco has had some serious crashed this season and i'm very surprised he hasn't been more seriously hurt. All and all the racing is much much closer now and makes for an interesting finish. Not like years past when we knew it was either Ricky or Stewart by a long shot. Now if Reed would get healthy i'm pretty sure that ole guy can and will get one more championship before retirement. He's the guy I pull for!! Older, not heavily backed underdog
Kinda like me when I pull up at the track in the past. Windstar, burnin oil, sled trailer, tent, 2 sponsors meanwhile everyone else has HUGE haulers, campers, top of the line everything, motors punched right out 10 years of racing and i've taken the championship once, Runner up 4 years in a row, No DNF's, Never placed off the top 3 in points Wasn't the fastest guy out there but i could put down consistant laps for the entire race where as the top dogs were done in 5 laps.

This stupid cold is really hanging on, it`s kicked up another notch.

I have a ton of part's to install, and I want to see some progression this summer. Dawn took Kalan to Hockey this morning. I got up at 5am yesterday to have him at the rink in Steinbach yesterday for 6:45AM and got home at 4PM. (what a way to spend your Birthday) Took the company Ranger out there. It's a 20008 in minty shape, but it's not the vehicle for me. No where near the Explorer or Edge. Even my POS Montana feels better to drive (replacing a wheel brg this afternoon in the POS, that's why I took the Ranger) The ranger is a 4 paw X-Cab, V6, But it's hard on fuel and rides quite rough. Well gotta go phone the neighbor to see if I can use his lift to change out the bearing. Have a great day guy's
It`s good that you`ll have more time on the 56 Grant. Hopefully now my friend finds more time to finish the remaining bodywork my 56 M100 and the paint finally done. My 98 Ranger is the same, rough riding, not that great on fuel but it does have some zip to it. I don`t need it any more and now my grandson has his eye on it but I`ll hate parting with the beast.

Alot of "blow out's" but an exiting finish
I think Nascar will rethink the extra camber they allowed on the rear axle for this season!! Thank goodness for those interliners or could have been some serious crashes. 208MPH that would HURT
