Racing (new pictures)
My cousins race at the local dirttracks and I go with em to help out every weekend.
This weekend my cousin got some trash in his carburetor at the beginning at the race, came halfway off the track, blew the garbage out, backed back onto the track started in the rear made his way back to 4th by the time the race was over. It was a special race so the top 6 did a shootout at the end of the race. The leader drew a number to inert the field, my cousin was 1st, held the lead for the whole shootout and won. Went through tech, everything was legal except the aluminum intake(we've been able to run aluminum intakes for the last 3-4 years) just changed the rule. So he got DQd.
now for some pictures
My cousin is the orange car closest to me(thats the heat race)
