It's only a couple days till our very own RPM Randy will wheel a racecar again. I would like to say good luck to him and his sons. A 1,2,3 would be a awesum finish. I would like to be there myself but 4000ish miles is a little far for me to go racing.  :shok:  Maybe next year.
Maybe a TEAM FJOwners.com sticker would look good on the top 3 cars.

Thata boy Randy, let them realize the old man still has it. And that he hasn't taught them everything yet.

Well, we got the 1st & 2nd. I am not totally sure yet, but I believe I lost a clutch basket and all forward motion in my car while running second between the boys. (I will have a photo of the problem tomorrow.)

A good weekend; My oldest to the World Finals race today with his younger brother finishing second but clinching the INEX national title for 2011.

My Legend Pro driver Frankie Marks, who just picked up his new RPM built 1200 two weeks ago set fast time,  and was leading his heat race when the axle housing failed yesterday, and returned today to run away from the field in the main event.

I believe he lead every lap of the main, I didn't get to see the first few laps as I was being towed in.

Also had great showing in the Legends Master division with RPM customers coming home 3rd through 6th behind two drivers from Finland was were really fast and their engines were confiscated for inspection.

Good times, Randy - RPM

Rocking the race Randy and family, Great job! With the exception of the clutch issue it must have been thrilling for you guys leading the pack.

The parts on the dirt are unintentional....Randy showed some pics of him off roadding during a race and talking about getting dirt everywhere in the car. :lol:
