aw thanks guys made my day reading that lol. So...I have a story for yall...On friday I came into Phoenix which is about 3.5 hours from where I live and the roads are literally in the middle of the mohave desert...in otherwords, nowhere. Right as I get into Phoenix I had BOTH front tires go down on my car, luckily I was only a mile or so from a discount tire. Tire guy told me I was ridiculously lucky I didn't lose the tires on the way there 0_0 Later that night, I log into my facebook account to see people trash talking me for no real reason (what hurts is that those guys used to be close friends of mine, and teammates). Not to mention those same idiots stole some stuff from our shop and basically took the whole crew with them...Needless to say I had a serious agenda to destroy them in the race. So around comes saturday...RACE DAY!! The day started off really well. Race car handled well, and I was the fastest car in practice. Next up is qualifying (used to set the starting line up for the race, fastest lap time gets 1st, etc). I started waaaayyyyy in the back hoping to get some clean laps with no traffic, and unfortunately it backfired, and I ended up having to get by someone every lap :/ Nonetheless, still qualified 3rd. Afterwords those same previously mentioned idiots come over and talk sh*t to my boss, in which theres a bit of an altercation between us. Finally the race starts, and within a lap I got by second place, and in another lap I caught the leader (who happens to be said idiot). I passed him about another lap later but he apparently has another 100 horsepower than me and just drove around me on the straightaway...no worries, I could tell my laps were on average quicker and it was just a matter of time...not to mention that I'm driving out of some spite for this guy. Anyway, we're battling back and forth and basically just came down to the two of us...and the as I made a shift, the differential exploded, basically meaning I had no power going to the wheels So heartbreaking...I had that race won, but thats part of the deal...Insult to injury though is that said buttface ended up winning the race and now said buttfaces are rubbing it in my face...said buttfaces can go F themselves. Anyway, I got a local race in two weeks and then back on the road in three...move on

Due to Max's request, here are some vids of my action www.youtube.com/watch?v=_B0XolY9460&feature=endscreen&NR=1This vid is from my most recent race and is taken from one of my competitors, for the first three minutes him and I were battling for 1st (I'm the black and orange #24) until my transmission blew up around the 3 minute mark www.youtube.com/watch?v=qyNx02ZozHgThis is a simple video from about a year ago when I was practicing with an ASA Truck. The team was using this to do evaluations on me to see if I could drive for them next year. The first minute or two I'm just warming up the tires and brakes, then I start getting on it. It may not look like much from that point of view, but its pretty insane trust me lol. It may be important to note that this one was an oval track...hence I'm always turning left...lol I'm working on uploading another roofcam view video on youtube...then I'll post that as well.
