After Manzy's "Last Dance" the team was a little worn out as well as depressed that the closing actually happened. Going to the races or even working on any of the race cars was too depressing to even think about. A few weeks ago we did end up out in the shop hustling around trying to get the midget ready to go to New Mexico only to find that we need a new bladder for the fuel cell. This is a pretty big expense and we decided that It was too much of an expense to pay on top of the 535 mile trip to Hollywood Hills. That idea was squashed. Our good friend Ronnie Smith was planning on racing in Show Low, Az at Thunder Raceway in a race that was co-sanctioned by ASCA and NMMRA and asked us to go up and play. Our sprint car needed a new rear bumper and we were unable to acquire one in time to take it up the hill to Show Low. With the sprint sidelined we decided to go up anyway and hang out the Ronnie and T-Ball and throw the micros into the trailer and play around with some old friends in the AMSA group. Unfortunately both nights were canceled due to rain. Mud packing was just getting done on Saturday when the rains came and we made it all the way to "Hot Laps" on Sunday before the rains ruined things. If we can get the midget bladder situation and engine problems worked out we will be heading to Canyon Speedway Park with the AMRA on June 13th. Come on out and support your local dirt track and cheer us on. As always.... Thanks for your support and interest in SLIDE JOB RACING. GOD Bless. |
