Fifth race of 2008 ends early in hard wreck

First off sorry this wasn't uploaded sooner, I guess the server didn't accept it or something. But tonight we made some small changes to the #30 right before the feature race, and they worked, they worked really well, almost all the cars in front of me were holding me up so I didn't even really get up to speed, so I think we are starting to figure these cars out.

As most know the #2 was in a hard hit last week, and Jeff broke his leg from it. They got the car back together and the driver for this week was Glenn Estes, a man who has been around the block at a few tracks in New England and thru-out the country. For his first time in the car he did pretty good, although he was struck with problems all day, first the valve cover broke lose in the first practice, then the run off for the crank case kept over flowing and spilling onto the fire wall and all over the inside of the car. After getting all that fixed he ran good, until a wreck where he was hit while in the infield.

The wreck, quite frankly not a single competitor has mentioned anything good about the #50 when he is on the track, they say he is a nice person when he isn't in his car with a helmet on... its called Red Mist for those who don't know. The #50 caused the wreck that took out both the #2 and #30, and the other cars that were also towed away, the #57 and #52 I believe. First off shame on the #50 for driving the way he does, knocking cars around instead of going around them, and secondly shame on the tower and race control for letting him stay out there. He was pushing people around up front, then went to the back and pushed the #57 around, then got mid-pack and pushed the #52 around which cause the wreck in turn 3. Then not only do they park the #50 but they place him in the final standings in front of everyone he wrecked. Its not right, and the race director is as much at fault for that wreck as the #50. I didn't have alot of respect for the race director anyway's, considering how he treated me the last two years in the X-Car division, and now I have lost respect for the #50.

The #30 will not race this weekend at the Speedbowl and really is in no huge rush to get back if this is how races are going to be there.
