Pickup Pavement Pounders
As a rookie I am just happy to be able to participate. Hopefully; learn a few things, and come back stronger! Plus maybe come home with a new custom Rat Rod for the December Rumble!

It was so cold here today that I didn't want to spend all day tomorrow outside so after the mail came,and there were no new entrants, I ran the short track race....

Congrats to JDC442 the Pickup Pavement Pounders Short Track Champion...........Great job as usual.
and Congrats to Clayfeat and DvB. Even the Pig did well.
I just realized JDC beat me 2 times. Why did I think I could beat him in the second race when he beat me in the first race....
Okay...maybe if I'd known this was going to happen--two days before the official start date--we wouldn't have spent our time, money, and trucks trying to get them in for this race...but whatever--they might not make it anyway. They should've been in earlier, but it's dissappointing they didn't get in.
Anyway, nice racing, and congrats JDC.
