Stanton Barrett apparently blew up (just turned on the MRN feed, and they're saying he's likely done). Randy LaJoie likely will get the pardon.

My lousy 4 points in qualifying lost me a position in the league. Now 20th. Yuck

That means we're 2 spots closer to hooking back up. I bumped up a spot.

Only losing 3 spots on a change-everything pit stop isn't too bad.

Michel Jourdain stayed out for 5 bonus points.

I know this is a flat track but I sure could use a bump. Let's pass them on the inside!!

Need to get those horses going in the Budmobile.

Got some traffic to work through, but these flat tracks are my specialty.

2-car check-out part II. I don't think anybody has anything for Smoke/Martin today.

Whoa I've got the small FR screen going. I pushed the abuse button by mistake. :)

Here they go again, pass for the lead MM over Smoke.
