I am proud to say 8th, 7th with Kevin not running. And I do believe that I was somewhat patiently waiting on 5th (Old Guys Rule Racing #1) and 4th (the OLDEST member of Schmal Time Racing) to get the hell out of my way so I could have fun with 3rd place. Next time I will run your tires in the heats and mine in the main.

Chris - you are more than welcome to run my old tires like I ran your old tires - I promise you this, you won't be starting 8th in the A main, you'll be on the outside looking in. I learned the hard way that the new car likes a little rear stagger. That is why I was "holding" you up. Can't you cut me some slack, first day with the car.

The Schmal brothers are starting to sound more like the Busch brothers. I think seeing how Craig is the elder he must be Kurt. Let me see Chris ..........Kyle ............Driving .............Hmmmmmmm No wonder the deer aren't safe. Not even to mention fellow RC racers!

Maybe I can keep this pot stirred up....which one did MOM like best?

[Craig 14]

Just an FYI - mom likes Chris better because he is the so called "baby" of the family and now that Shannon and him have the "newest" grandson - he just extened his lead on that situation. I think the whole deer thing with Chris is because he just wanted to be like me, I have had 2 deer hit me and now Chris has hit 2 deer. His where about 3 weeks apart, mine took about 18 years. Terry - thanks for the "Busch" reference. I believe if this "Busch" thing is true, I guess I won't be winning any races and Chris will be winning a bunch.

Just to be accurate, I have now hit three deer, and they have all been because of going or coming from RC racing. The first was my second time ever racing, should have told me something. Kyle Busch, KYLE BUSCH!!!, oh boy Terry, I'm gunna Williams you, no, KROPT you for that one!! Anyway, not to try to stir the pot too much, it was just good to see STR #1 actually enjoying himself at the racetrack, even if it took the genious tuning of someone who threw some tires and springs at him and said drive it. Hope to see all in Milwaukee.

Oh, and on the 'mom likes me best' thing, stop typing and get busy. You can get a point back.

[AL S.]

well you know Craig, Chris is getting back to the natural state when born bald so maybe mom sees it to

[Craig 14]

Thanks Al - us "older" guys have got to stick together...

[Chris S]

Ouch Al, ouch. Mike, Rick, AJ, you guys want me to hold him while you shave his head?

[Craig 14]

I didn't say old - I said older...
