Bad weekend @ Phoenix I'ntl Raceway
Nascar opening weekend @ PIR with lousy weather and lousy race results... Let me put it like this, it was so cold that "snow-birds" (people that live in the snow country that migrate to Phoenix every winter) were going home to get warm.... It was warmer in Sopranoland than in Phoenix... Enuf of the weather, how bad was the races... Can you say bbbbaaaadddd???
Due to the limited number of Winston West races this year, I decided to do double duty and also spot for a team in the South West Series...(another Ford Taurus, of course)... The driver overdrove the car in the qualifying run and ended up starting 17th.... Big wreck on 1st lap with 11 cars & we were in it.... Lost 8 laps getting car fixed and ended up 25th... Ken Schrader won it...
The West race wasn't much better, car was junk and only qualified 19th... Changed everything but the sponser before the race and car ran pretty decent, up to 5th place... Looked like a decent top 5 run, but last set of tires didn't run well and it looked like a 9th place finish until distributor broke with 4 to go which dropped us to 18, 4 laps down...
As the "King" would say, "Just one of dem racin' deals"
