Still running in the middle of the pack.. killed a couple of Vettes...


It was just the parking lot of the Kentucky Speedway, but it was still cool running there...

Man, I tell you what.. I am SO FRIGGING glad that nobody bought this car..

I have had SO much fun this summer in it. 7 races so far, and 5 first place (in class) trophies and a LOT of smiles and questions. One of the fastest guys in the area is now wanting one.. lol.. He drives a BAD Camaro, it's the Hooter's Camaro and it is one bad car, now he wants a Festy.. LOL..

Man, it would have been a steal at what I was asking, I am just glad that nobody here pays more than a couple hundred bucks for festys... LOL...

That's the spirit!! This winter I will be doing the final transformation... Hopefully it will be enough to push me to the top 5% maybe top 3% of the pack.. Right now I'm sitting in between 15-20%... I think it's possible. The car has alot of potential for a H stock car competing in some crazy classes!!! -Kyle

Well, we don't have any more at KY speedway this year.. but we might next year.. the rest are at River Downs horse race track in Cincy, and the Nutter Center in Dayton.

I seem to be slipping a tiny bit, can't get up much past mid-pack.. but still learning to drive it, and boy do I need some suspension..

Oh well, still a blast to be cars 15-20 times as expensive... I am starting to get people rooting for me, as an underdog.. .pretty funny to beat a Vette or two, and watch the reactions...

I was pretty frustrated today, I coned and DNF'd all but two runs.. there were more cones hit today by the whole field than any other race I have attended... it was a WILD course, a couple people never got a single clean run out of SEVEN!!! and only one (a lady!) got 7 clean runs... it was a wildly confusing and challenging course.. pretty frustrating at first..

Here is a video.. SHAKY!!! As you can see, I am still not smooth enough out of corners, as I LIT UP the right front slick out of the corner halfway through..
