Special Olympics 500

Hi everyone, We just got back from Harrisburg and boy are we tired. We started racing at 8:00 in the morning and finished at 10:30. I was in race #18. I started third and took over first within 2 laps and despite all the cautions, accidents and dirty driving I finshed first. Another win!! I started the feature on the pole and was out about 3 car lengths ahead of the field when I spun comming out of turn 3. The track was very loose and I just took it in too hard. I restarted in the back of the field. After several laps I had moved back up to second spot but was intentionally hit by another car and he crashed me. Once again I had to start at the back of the pack. I made it back up to fourth spot again when the 20 minute time limit on the race expired. I could have made it back up to the lead if I had a few more laps. The probelm was that everybody kept spinning and causing restarts. But we still got a win, made some new friends, had a great time, got more TV time for our spoonsors, got a lot of compliments on the car and had a really great time hanging out. The TT crew is A#1!! Hey number 59- back at ya next year!

thanks
Rich, It was our pleasure. Anything for the kids. We belong to a GREAT club and want to share the experience. I'm more than happy to discuss sponsors with you but probably better done in person. I'll talk to you Saturday. Joe
