he ran into feel's trailer

Ok, So here's the scoop if you haven't already heard.........

Friday 7am: My car decides to let itself out of the trailer after the winch came off unbenounced to us. And of course I had to be pitted on a hill so the car took off like a rocket across the pit road as my father & I chased it before it crashed into the back of a trailer. After I stood there in complete shock for a moment I walked around the other side of the car to find my father on the ground with his foot caught under the slick. Now I have to RUN back to our trailer & get a jack to lift the car up so he can get out. Cosmetically the back of my car is a MESS! & the guys trailer door didn't look to good either to say the least.

8am: Hammer Time! We looked like a NASCAR team (Hence; Thank you Billy Leber for the rivots!)

8:30am: We discover one side of the locater bar layin on the ground and the rear end has completely shifted to one side! The bracket had fatigued & I'm assuming the impact of the crash caused it to break completely off. At this point I'm pretty much ready to call it quits & pack up & head home. After about 2 hours of trying to figure out a way to either weld it back together (Hence; Thank you Chris D) or find a new bracket. Durring this time I ran into Scott Steiner in the staging lanes who suggested I go to the tower & have them make an announcement for a bracket. (O ya, missed the 1st time trial durring this circus act)

10am: "Marc Caruso to the tower". How about some lady had not 1, but 2 of them and as we're walking down from the tower another guy rolls up with one.

Noon: The calls out for 2nd time trial. We roll up as the last pair are doing there burnouts......10.903

Saturday Noon: My Generator in the motorhome decides to quit. And of course its not on a sliding tray, so it has to go to a repair shop! (Hence; Thank you Tom & Lynn Hoosigan for the generator & Matt Schurman for the repairs)

Sunday 11am: While checking valves my starter decides to quit! Just as I'm getting ready to drop it & put a new one in....."Super Street 3rd round to the lanes". Talk about keeping your fingers crossed!

......& the rest is history! I don't believe I left anything out, it was a crazy weekend!

Thanks Again Everyone!
