Damn!! 17 straight..... when do you expect to get back out and add on to that figure? For some reason I'm betting your opponents are going to be pushing the tree pretty hard :)[/QUOTE
In two weeks, we have three 2-day points races in a row.
Hoping to put the Championship away in those races.
With the two wins last weekend, he is up 7.5 rounds of racing on 2nd place.
I do remind him that he has a target on him, He has won 4 previous Championships & tied for two more at our track.
Also with the 10 grand win at the Southern Footbrake Challenge, that target has gotten bigger.
He can have one of the worst drivers there, & this guy will go 00 on the tree & be dead on against him. The next round, same guy will be 100 on the tree & break out. LOL
There's always the racers that resent someone winning also.
My boy is one of the most laid back, ez going, freindlyest guys there is. Always to give advice when asked or help a fellow racer in need. Never brags.
One thing he is, very competitive. Hates to runner up, he views it as a failure.
Yeah ones you make a name for your self, you will get them "pull a rabbit out of a hat" guys that make your day short.
But you find a lot of racers that know your good, and make mistakes, that give you easy rounds.
The two years that i took the points racing serious (2nt year took 4th place over all) i got more red light wins then the previous 10 year together.
Were i race it was 4 rounds sometime 5 to win. 17 round to be just that much better then the other guy each round. WOW that's real tough to do!
Congrads to you, your dad, and your car.
