I don't do this often but I Need to Vent a little..

3 weeks ago it was a DRY water box to ruin my 3 burnout attempts... tranny and motor got too hot, couldn't run the number...

Last week a Bad Ground connection in the 4th round....

So tonight, what else but a Flat Tire in the 4th round... :mad: :mad: :mad:

Thanks..I feel better now.

Hopefully next week the Race Gods will let me do my thing..

Tom...sorry the hear about your problems but it could be worse.
I think I'll join in on the venting...
My car sits in the garage...I had torn rotator cuff repair surgery yesterday. :mad:
It only hurts when I type... ;)

A bad day at the race track is still better than a good day fishing smile.gif
