    Im thinking for a regular rig, its gotta be tough. I was watching the speeds, and the fastest I saw was only 45 mph. Many times I was seeing 25 or 35. :eek:

    I talked to Mike. The UCA lower Uniball "C" clip fell out, causing the UCA to separate from the spindle. Damage to steering linkage, Long travle, and some body damage. Truck has to stay where its at until the race is finished (maybe 9:00 pm), and they are gonna helicopter him out. Its a breakage noone has heard of happening before. :(

    :eek: That really sucks, but atleast he started the race and completed his goal of starting the Score Primm 300.

    On a side note did you get to meet any of the professional drivers?

    I'll be out here next year as well. :)



    Mike may not have finished the race, but he is getting TONS of information. Not only from other drivers, but from his experience out on the track as well.



    He'll be back. :D
