See ya'll in Union, SC next week-end, Darlington, Atlanta and Charlotte in September.

thanks,

butch ,dont take this the wrong way,,unless you get behind the wheel and take a few runs down the track it will be hard to explain the reasons for break outs and red lights with out going into in depth discussion,add to the mix your racing against some of the best racers that competition offers ,,you cant leave anything on the table,,(reaction times,dials) every racer is always pushing themselves to make the tightest package possible,add in the wind (tail,head,cross) can affect et numbers on a stocker,,1000 ways to loose and one way to win gmonde

It used to be like that. No lifting,first to the stripe won. But no longer unless two liked classed cars are racing but then protecting your index comes into play. Its all bogus but thats the way it is.
