Jeff Teuton here. Starter issues, the Fast system has a starting problem and kicks back and breaks the starter. Jeff Taylor says they have a fix, but no one has b othered to tell us about it. That's not very good. We have now broken a MSD starter, a RobbMc (which is the original) and an ATI and knocked the side off a pro trans in the process. The schedule for the points race really sucks for stock and super stock. Stock's first time trial is about 8 pm friday night, ss is a little earlier. This is because the index classes with the big motors and throttle stops don't like a cold track, so they run two before we run one. We then get one around 2 pm, the race Sat night. Really sucks, but this is Div 7. I know we ran for two years about 800 or 900 cars in Bowling green on the normal sechedule at the points race before Indy. Unless I really have to be here again for points or something, you won't see this fat cajun this direction. As ususal it's always good to see a lot racers we normally don't see or see in Indy. Coming 1700 miles and can't pull to the line with two cars is disheartning to say the least. I understand California is just waiting for all the long rigs, but NHRA is working on it and should be fixed. I think nearly 50 pro rigs are involved as well as numerous sportsman. More later. Going to SEMA tomorrow.
