Not sure there was anything fun about it, knocked the wind out of me big time. On the plus side I WAS leading when the world turned upside down..LOL

I can tell you it is a bit spooky when your upside down facing the whole pack of cars coming full bore at you. Surprisingly on one hit me and other then a couple broken shocks it really wasn't hurt. Other then winning the 1600 class that was a shitty weekend, Traceys stuff was pure crap that weekend. Roger Mears jumped ship for a Magnum then Bob Hanna called it quits after running the new Funco A-Arm car, said it scared the hell out of him. I won a lot of races in it but there were times it scared the hell out of me also.

To be young again.................

LOL...I THINK I know more now then then, but moneys pretty tight now days. Hell a couple weeks after that race I won $12500 plus contingency  driving Traceys A-Arm car in Colorado. Not bad for racing a buggy in 1980.

I doubt the money was the reason you were racing tho.

I almost got into dirt track racing yrs back.  Until the guy selling the car told us a good weekend was winning enough to pay for the fuel.  It has to be for love until you reach enough sponsorship to really cover the bills.
