Loaded up race car headed to Lyons Dragway for their big race ran into ran hard rain in Hilsboro all way to Vandalia
Get on I 70 who would have though road construction wow
Got to Effingham another bad Storm got off sit it out
Continued on with rain in tow!
What else could possible make for a lousy trip blew tire out on truck
Got road side service it didn't take someone to hit me over the head to turn around n go home
Got outside of Effingham and nothing but sunshine
Won't travel ever again to a track that's over 2 hours away
What a fight it was!

Sorry to hear
sucks when you fight all week at work
and then when you try and do something fun you end up fighting more stuff that gets in your way
be safe and get home alive so you can race another day
Ps did you throw any tools or pound on the dash board?
I carry alot of rage

Dennis
heres a funny story
I was on a work trip and I was driving somewhere in kentucky when my car blew a radiatoe hose
it was july something 11o degrees middle of nowhere
After my initial rage and noticung no obe was around
I took out my 38 and shot the car three times I. The passenger door
It made me feel better and I still laugh about doing that

Don't ever give up . I went to Accelaquarter last weekend with Dan Smith , we blew a tire on the trailer in Illinois changed that got to the track and in the second round broke a exhaust rocker and bent a intake push rod , tore the car apart to fix and only threw in the towel when we realized we left the spares back at St.Louis (Dan took out the spare rockers to lighten them and didn't put them back in the trailer ) . now he won last night in Lyons . ( has spare rockers with him lol) |

So sounds to me you left on the trip with no spare tire for the truck ?And the spare was already on truck .I would never leave without a spare for truck and II take 2 spares for trailer on a long trip . Others carry spare trailer bearing kits and grease gun . Better luck on the next trip . Also someone had seat belts for the expired ones you have in car nice of them . |
