A day at the races......
This is the Super Latemodel team that I work for when im home on vacations......
Number 78, Driven by B.J. McLeod, this was at Orlando Motor Speedworld, He is sponsored by Boggy Creek Airboat Rides......
this is us unloading.....
this is our nice Snap-On war wagon.....
this is the inside of the hauler.....its all brand new
B.J out on the track for practice.....
Us setting the car up cause it was horrible in practice.....loose, tight, horrible, it was a new car and had never been raced
we qualified 3rd after a bunch of guessing, crutching and im sure a prayer or too......sadly some jackhole decided to forget how to drive and make our 70K dollar late-model look like a trophy truck (i was 15 seats up in the stands and could see the driveshaft as BJ jumped the guys rear tire) and cost the team about 5K in repairs, the front clip came up and hit the balancer shattering it, ruined the steering unit and lines, and tweaked everything, so the car had to go to Port City in Michigan to get reclipped......luckily all the motor needed was a new balancer....

Well, having been around racing all my adult life, I reccomend magnafluxing that crank. It took a shot, which can cause unseen damage, which will make itself known at the most inoppurtune time, usually leading with a couple laps to go, in a very big race.
Seems like every brand new car gets a hit like that. Had the whole front end torn off mine, right after installing a complete new body. Never even scratched the old body, just wanted to update.

the green is painted, everything else is graphix i believe.....
not really cause he is friends with the painter.....who is your friend with the Sprint Car, I know a few guys around the New Holland area that races at 35 in Frankfort.....I used to work there......
you know BJ? he just likes having nice stuff, plus the sponsor bought all 3 cars new this year so it wasnt out of his pocket.....
oh dont worry, the crank was checked, checked again, then checked one more time to be sure......
