He's back, I didn't realize he was missing lol!

How did he do at the race? Not sure what a NMCA race has to do with TSO

Car looks good I hope he brings it to Norwalk again I would love to see it.

Nice to see a Buick at one of these events again. Once you sort it out some I'm sure it'll be more competitive. Hopefully they are giving a significant wt break for V6's but doubt it.

I haven't looked at anything NMCA in awhile. I looked at a class once and was told I wasn't able to race because I had a V6 I never bothered with them after that.

How did he pull the #1 qualifier in round 1 on a pro ladder That sucks. He should've raced Dave Hill the #4 qualifier I believe Lee is one the, if not the, fastest out there right now on 275's.

 

[jdsgnx]

They used a sportsman ladder????

We asked the same question!!!

Most of the orgs are going to sportsman ladders to get rid of alot of 1st round bye's if the class doesn't have close to a 16 car field.

It still sucks though. Qualifying #1 usually isn't an advantage on those ladders.

It was nice to see Don running the 275 class.

Nice to see a buick v-6 mixing it up in a Heads up class! Although it is like bringing a knife to a gun fight!

 

[KevinB]

The black wheels look badass on his car.

Way to go Don! Glad to see the car is back out again. Keep up the good work and someday soon you'll get that 7 second time slip.
