Ya gotta love a guy that brings a knife to a gun fight!

So I was checking over my Classic NASCAR this morning and found an issue. During the later part of the race my motor started stinking and going away (I know, hard to believe from my old Parma green endbell motor, huh?!). Anyway, I found my front axle was bound up and one wheel would hardly turn. My front axle tube was slightly bent, something not unknown to happen at Springwater Raceway! I had added a Billy Bar to reinforce my front axle tube, and although it did not completely prevent the front axle tube from bending, I do believe it kept the front axle tube from breaking off completely, or bending to a point where it could not be easily straightened out. I was able to repair it with just a little tweaking using the axle as a pry bar. We'll see how it holds up in future races!....I wonder if I really need a new motor?...........Ah, it's probably OK..........

Top three on the podium after the Classic NASCAR Race:

I didn't know he was interested in politics.............

We certainly could! The only reason we aren't racing hard body cars on Mondays is because not everyone has them. The nice thing about the NASTRUCK Howie is selling is the chassis can be used in multiple classes. I could see hard body racing on Mondays in preparation for upcoming races!

Well Doc...........we could always start racing them on Mondays!!!!!

Understandable!

Monday OT - November 1, 2021

'Niler racing on Mondays (SE-niler that is). Yes us old retired guys are dominating the Monday racing right now. With the exception of working man Daniel (Doc), us old farts have taken over Inslot's Checkered Flag on Mondays! The evening crowd has yet to exceed our numbers or enthusiasm!

The first WOMP race started at approximately (did I mention we're retired?) high noon. The WOMP races are 10 lap heads up sprint races. Points are used for scoring, and driver's point totals determine the winners. The first qualifying round of racing is round robin driver rotation. After the first round elimination rounds are held with either the top, or top two drivers advancing. We had 6 entries for this race.

WOMP Qualifying Round Results:
Doc 13 points
Bill 13
Dave 12
John 11
Al 7
Mitch 4

WOMP Semi Round Results:
John 16 points
Dave 10
Al 9
Mitch 5

WOMP Final Results:
Bill 14 points
Doc 11
John 8
Dave 7

After the WOMP races we moved right into the Flexi race. For the Flexi races we run one round with the standard round robin rotation with 4 minute heats. We had the same 6 participants for this race.

Flexi Results:

Doc took the win in the Flexi race by 4 laps. John Gill was second and I finished third. Doc got to add another hash mark to his signature on the coveted PASER WEENER (weekly-winner) CUP!

This is a great deal for somebody!

Rick Phillis and I had with us our entries from the original Hear The Thunder races. These babies are over 25 years old!
