First of its kind...a NASCAR Thunder 2003 Dynasty...

[SPTO]

Seems like you changed the set-up of the car and you were ROCKIN! Too bad your pitcrew screwed it up for ya. I thought you'd get a top 15 finish in that race.

You wernt the only one buddy lol!

Gonna post the Darlington race later tonight too.

We came into Darlington, determined, with a whole new pitcrew as well. (everyone i hired in, is above the 64 rating, so we like that).

I really like this track, I like the challanges it presents to us, as a team. This track, u dont race the competitors, you race the racetrack.

Wow, The car likes the track too. In practice, we found out that this car, will FLY through turns 1 and 2, but give up alot on turn 3 and 4. We still manage a 30.328 in practice.

Qualifying time, lets see if we can back that up. 36th, 30.358.Close lol.

Those laps felt pretty fast, but were slow..damn.

Raceday: These pace laps seem to go on forever, but thats mostly because there is ALOT of traffic infront of me. This should be a fun day.

Green flag, were off

First few laps go by not so bad, I pick my way up to 34th. Then ,someone blows up ahead of me, causing cars to slow down, and since there isnt alot of room at this track, I slam right into the back of a few cars

[censored]..

we just made this a long day.

Were riding in 31st, and Im actually amazed by the car, its still holding on pretty good.

Well, now my day got longer. Racing for 33nd, Rusty Wallace just SLAMS me from behind, turning my loose car, sideways, and straight into the wall. Bending the hell out of the front bumpers and hood.

We turn into pit road, just take 2 tires, and fix the hood damage. Damn this sucks.

We ride the race out, before our "scheduled" pit stop, Car is really crappy now. We had a good car, turned to crap.

We pit on lap 15, 4 tires. No changes, 15.777 seconds, HOLY CRAP. Hell of a stop. Hireing new talent is always great lol.

We are now just riding the storm out, 3 laps down. I'll tell you whut, this is a hell of a hard track to get out of the leaders way on.

I'll tell you something, just riding around really sucks. Especially when you KNOW you had a good car.

No progress really to report, just riding, getting out of the leaders way, in 42nd.

Checkard flags, its finally over. 42nd, 2 laps down. Discouraged and beaten, we take it back to the shop in Michigan.

Post race events next
