Tom --
Our goal this weekend was to get enuf points to have a good starting position in June so we could try to take the record over 190. Never made it to the starting line on Sat. with a 241 starting position, but were about 5 back on Sunday morning. Our driver hadn't used the new wrap-around windshield at Elmo and was cautioned by an official Barbee that the dust would rise up. He reports he could not see the course, nor the tach, from the middle of 3rd gear thru the lights. Sound shifted to 4th and after a while saw a cone once in a while until he saw a clump of them which he took as the finish line. Had his hand for minutes on the chute release and that vision triggered a response.
He said he was heading Glen's advise to exit the course quickly and did so off to the left. He over exited to the concern of many officials who thought he knew better. He didn't, but says he now does. He went 193.9xx and will probably not be asked back the rest of the year. That's probably as fast as the old crate will go on a dirt field.
There's talk of putting me back in the driver's seat (after I finish rehab) and get my state license back. I guess I'd have to start at the bottom again, but I've done that in Wells once or twice.
Thanx for asking,
Stan Back
