    How we sit today. All and all a good season, a lot of fun. Rookie didn't win anything, or go fast enough but, also never caused a yellow. We will be faster next year, Ole Donkey will have more engine, little better suspension, little light fire walls and floor and a brand new aluminum body...

    The last night of the season. After 3/4 of the first lap of the last race. First time on the hook, but the tough Ole girl drove on the trailer.

That happened in the feature, we got it finished, started 22nd, finished 11th or 13th I don't recall. We ran a fairly constient low to mid 20 second lap time, our best yet.
