Default drifting on L.V. drag strip and thieves at home!

This was a rough weekend for the CTR team but we pulled together and got the car into the semi-finals. and we are thankful to the following teams Sk 2 for a little help with some tools and the mopar sqaud for a little help with air for the car and of course my buddy ali and gary from the subaru team. W/o the comforts of the renegade its a much harder situation to get the car back into running condition after wealmost drifted it into the wall! I would like to thank my crew members and ride to the event John and Jared for helping me out this weekend and keeping me grounded after i got the bad news the shop was buglerized at the same time i spun the car out and almost hit the wall! the weekend was cool though to go rounds and race bubba for a shot to the finals and i did my best to chop down the tree against bubba .084 and he caught us at about the 1000 ft mark and powered passed us for the W.he deserved it though and it could'nt have happened to a better guy.I also want to thank Norm for the words of encouragement and tony garcia for checkin up on me when i got home. It was good to be back out with all the racing family and we will see you in pomona!

thanks for the kind words guy and i was lucky tokeep itoff the wall and its a real wake up call when something like that happens! out comes the spool!!!!!!! we broke 2 axels on the same pass and the first exploded and the 2nd locked up! the tire was torn off the rim but luckily the traction bar is low enough to keep the rim off the ground! when i saw the wall i turned into the spin and luckily it kept me 3 inches short of the wall!
