Default Against My Better Judgment.......

Well E Town it's having some sort of "Super Import" race tomorrow (Yes the Sat they were supposed to be closed) RP made some changes, canceling all the "Index" classes..

The only class was "Gamblers" ... So I said what the hell I'll take a shot at it.. well RP decided to give the Imports their two Qualifying runs tonight instead of tomorrow the day of the race

Well it was 2 or 4 cars making a run, and then an oil down. Can you believe it that "IMPORTS ACTUALLY OIL DOWN THE TRACK??"

30 min later Gamblers got to make their first qualifying run... then we had to sit again while RP crew cleaned the track AGAIN

This guy wasn't to bad, he only dropped oil on the first 1/4 mile of the race track...

So now its 7 pm and Gamblers are going for their first round ///

I've been on a kinda "Mini" streak.. won Gamblers last week, and the Pro Dash two weeks ago..

Tonight.. I went 3 rounds with (1 Oil Down Between Each)

So now I'm in the final vs (can't remember his name) but has a very clean 57 Chevy Bel-Air color is Burgundy or a dark red..

Well we didn't get rained out, or heat out, OR wind.. We were OILED OUT!!! Yup RP didn't have time to clean the track before the curfew..

so me & I think his name is "Rendi" split the pot...

That was about as long of a gamblers night as you could get. I think they called it somewhere around 10:30, and the track was not exactly packed.. but a few fast imports will do the trick every time.

I lost 2nd round to JP - that was Chuck Render in the final splitting the pot.

NO.. that was Ken Tyler, and he cant help that, he had 4 operations on his back & spine.. and is losing muscle control .... He was only able to make 1 Time shot due to the pain, and did NOT want to take any pain Meds while on the track or driving..

PS I asked him if he would loan me a few of the "STRONG" pain killers ... j/k But seriously he is going though a living hell.....

Wow John, you might've taken another one, congrats on the co-win (or is it a co-runner up? ).
