HappyHour Posted February 8, 2010 Posted February 8, 2010 First, I'm super glad the regatta went good, and from what it sounds like, everyone had a blast. Unfortunately I couldn't make it this year due to a prior obligation. But I thought I share why I couldn't make it, although excuses are like A*%holes......everybody's got one. LOL Well I work on race cars in my spare time and have been doing so since 1987. Same driver, just a bunch of different cars in different divisions within Nascar. We raced at Irwindale Speedway that weekend and it was a 2 day deal. Qualify on Friday, and then race 75 laps on Saturday night. We qualified 7th of 45 cars, then we finished 2nd in the race. All this with a brand new car that hadn't seen the race track until the Sunday prior to the race weekend. Not bad I guess. We aren't running the full schedule at Irwindale this year. But we are going to try to make as many races as we can. Here are some pics I thought I'd share.................... A shot of a couple of us. L to R....The driver, a buddy, the car owner, then me. Waiting to go out an qualify on Friday... Car on the track prior to the autograph session Our little camp at the track Quote
dunefreak Posted February 8, 2010 Posted February 8, 2010 Very cool, Mike. Sucks you couldn't make the 70 regatta, but looks like you still had a great time. Quote
