If you have been reading the front page at all over the last couple of days, you know that I was down in Bristol, TN helping on the crew of my friend Pete Farber's Pro Mod. I am going to run a full recap of the weekend tomorrow, but it was pretty damned awesome.
To live an event from the inside out gives me a perspective I never had in the tower when announcing this stuff. I certainly was not installing the clutch or deciding what ratios to put in the Lenco, but I learned alot about that decision making process and was able to do some cool stuff in my role as "fill in new guy"
We made the show but lost in the first round to Mike Castellana, who ended up winning the event. Pete slapped a nasty hole shot on him, but the car shook pretty hard.
Me and Pete left Bristol at 7pm last night and iron-manned it home. I pulled into my driveway at 10:30am after dropping Pete off (he lives about 1.5hrs away).
I think I'll be asleep before it is actually dark tonight.
**Oh yeah, I met like 15 BS readers who were following along on the blog and found the car in the pits. That was really cool and the other guys on the team got a kick out of the fact that people were reading about the team's exploits on the interwebs. Always cool to meet readers! I told those guys that they should join up on the forums! **
