At that point I shut my car off in the water and my wife checks the lane the bald spots were bigger than my car. She shows the starter he calls the tower and they told him to run us, at this point I am not very happy. I said I wouldnt run till they fixed it and and there answer was if I didnt stage I was out. So I stage let go of the button and the car spins the worst it ever has. The rest was not so pretty but when I was done at least the rest of the cars behind me had a track they could race on. They just dont get it that we are paying customers and deserve better
Denny,
I was in the stands when you did that. I hate it came to that, but looking back that is my favorite Bristol memory.
