Bring it on.

Hi all

Well it has been a great trip again, Knoxville was a race to remember with Sammy showing when he has the will and the gear he is fast, he showed all of them up and despite my thoughts on Sammy himself he sure put on a show, when he climbed from his car with 3 laps to go he got a standing ovation and the Crabbe was standing with the rest of them to applaud his drive, when I can I will load it onto the site for you all to see, didn't get the whole race but got at least 35 of the 50 laps and all the slide jobs for the lead.

Went to Williams Grove and was initiated into the PA Posse as a temporary member, they are crazy there, the drivers and the fans, we stood on the infield at turn one and I have never seen sprint cars going into a turn so fast, it was scary to watch, we went into the Posse stand, a guy we met last year at Knoxville let us sit in his seats, barrack for anyone not from Pennsylvania and your just as likely to get thrown off the stands, anyway the cars did not look slower from the stands, they fly.
Next night we went to Lincoln, it is about the length of Kwinana but only half as wide, they go quick here as well, 24 cars flat out into turn one and somehow they all get through.
Saw a guy called Brian Montieth win at both Williams Grove and Lincoln, he has his balls running on the fence the whole time, even when the track went slick and everyone else was running the gutter he managed to keep the high line working, it nearly tripped him up on a restart with one lap to go, they go green to checker and Lance Dewease tried to slide him from the bottom mid turns three and four, but Montieth just drove back under him, it was a great move to watch, saw lots of tricky maneuvers over here, now just have to work out how to make them myself.

Heading to Milwaukee to look at some crushing equipment and then we head home Wednesday Aussie time, another good trip watching some very impressive racing.

Bring on the start of the limited season, just cannot wait to get back into it.
