Wow, that motor sounds like a real beast!! Nice job in the oil slick Misty, could have been a bad ending there.

You had that 05 fair in your sights Misty! :shock:

Were you stuck in the mud or just waiting for a gap to go? I'm not sure I would have hung around there for that long - you would have been a target for sure if someone else went off? I cringed when I heard those screaming tires as Morgan (or was it James?) came skidding through the slick! Glad they kept it on the track!

No one's more glad than me that he kept it on track.

You're right, not the ideal place to wait. I just didn't want to insure that I would get hit by entering in fast traffic. I rocked the car out of the mud and was looking for a gap to reenter, but could see fast traffic coming and with mud on the tires and an oil slick to cross, I knew I was going to be moving slow at first. ( Not that I ever moved real fast in that car this weekend) Hindsight being 20/20, I probably should have driven in the dirt to 17, and entered there on the outside of the track. I don't think the mud was too bad through there.

Don't think you can see him on the video, but Corey was running from his vehicle right before I went off.
