Mooresville Pro Am Results - Congrats Wilson & Beard

[Angela Macy]

Congratulations to Michael Beard for his win today in Super Stock driving Johnny Fishers Mirada. Tracy Robbins was runner up. I'm sure this was just icing on the cake for Beard after last weeks impressive Win and Runner Up at Bristol.

Stock winner was Billy Wilson in the Father Time Chevy Station Wagon - you know chicks dig wagons, right? (I've got a wagon myself ) Richard Alford was runner up. Scott and I met Ed and Kathy Wilson this past week - another two great people we've met while class racing. Ed is having some medical issues so I know having his picture taken with his son meant the world to him. Hope you get to feeling better Ed!! I'll be emailing the pictures I took shortly.

Congrats to all the winners and runner ups!! Great job guys!

I'm uploading the pictures I took this weekend as we speak (post) - I was a little slack on picture taking on Saturday as we were removing and installing driveshafts ever five minutes, so please forgive. My Super Stock coverage could improve. See you guys next week at Piedmont - be there or be square.

Long story - and some nongirl stuff goes with it, so lets see if I can get this right....

We ordered this fancy smancy $500 Chrome Omolie (I know that's spelled wrong, but I'm not sure what that means or how it's spelled - all I know is it's the shiniest driveshaft ever) and Scott put it in before Piedmonts Stock/Super Stock combo race. It shook like heck - so Tim Sloan put him in Hillarey's car again. Lost 2nd round. Oh wait....other part to that story - when they sent it they sent us the wrong "yoke" - it was for a 727 transmission and clearly we have the smaller 904 (no by choice), clearly the bill said 904 as well. Scott put a yoke he had on it prior to the Piedmont event. Thinking it could possibly be the old yoke making it shake, Scott decided to put the correct yoke in and try it (it showed up Fed Ex several days after Piedmont). On the jack stands Thursday night Scott thinks it is still shaking - so he puts "old faithful" - the 40 year old driveshaft he ran at Rockingham back in it not wanting to take a chance with the shiny one. First pass yesterday the car is shaking again. WTF?! This driveshaft did fine at Rockingham, now it's vibrating again?? So apparently Scott had changed the u-joint and yoke from the shiniest driveshaft ever and put it on "old faithful" - so he changes it BACK to how it was at Rockingham and it didn't shake. So just out of curosity, now we're thinking maybe its the yoke and u-joint from the shiny driveshaft causing the vibration (which still didn't make sense but Scottie was a little frustrated and wasn't much into talking this out with me) and not the driveshaft itself. Last thing we want to do is send back the shiniest driveshaft ever and find out it really is straight and balanced. Wouldn't we look like boobs then? So we tried it first round of the combo and it still shook, so back in goes Old Faithful. And as if we hadn't made good enough friends with the jack and jack stands during the day, the rear end started clunking 2nd or 3rd round. Scott dealt with it and somewhere forgot to tell me about this little issue until the semi's. So Scott had the bye to the final and Lee Truells (a good friend of ours) won the semi final round, so we just split with Lee and didn't run the final, went ahead and changed the rear end rather than risk messing the trans up too. So Scott has officially changed everything from bumper to bumper this year. Sorry for the novel and hoped that all made sense. And don't quote me on all that because even I'm confused on what happened between old faithful and shiny driveshaft.
