sure, there were apologies from the announcer, but that was just plain racer abuse. I guess we race for SPEEDTV now, even though the sportsmen aren't even included in the show...
Where's Bill Bader when you need him? the real people at these races are awesome(Hank, Baker, and so on) but the management is starting to show it's true colors. maybe this will get me in some trouble, but who cares, most of us can't afford to do these low paying races anymore. expenses are up, purses haven't changed in ten years, and contingency money is shrinking.?????

how about that Paula Cambria? kicking butt and taking names--semi final finish with some of the best footbrake/stockers in the world! Great job!

It was a long, frustrating weekend to say the least. The thing I didn't get was why the heck did we get a TT on Saturday. We never get one on Sat, let alone with weather threatening?

Paul, you and Raiser both better start taking lessons from Paula
