FLYING PIG RACING rolled into "the patch" at Famoso on April 26th with high hopes to continue to build on last year's success, but it just wasn't to be.
Wayno (the surf legend) Rich, Woollybear (Ding Repair), and I, teamed up in the pits with Chuck (if you don't share your toys...) and Crystal "Scoots" Irvin for the 1st of the ANRA Races of the year. We all showed up with high hopes for a season kickoff that would set us up for the year to come.
Wayne and I elected to drop DGas this year, thinking we would put all of our efforts into the Hot Rod class and limit distractions, blah, blah, blah. Woollybear followed suit and so, there we were, three Hot Rod racers ready to take it to the field. LOL.
Wayne who finished 2nd in points last year, and Me who finished 4th in points last year absolutely sucked in round one and lost.
Ironically, 5 of the top 7 or so from last year went out in round 1. What a weird start to the 2019 season. Ok, if it sounds like I am taking some consolation from this, it's true! Maybe we can pull ourselves up out of this.
Woollybear and Chuck followed us directly to the round 1 runner up party. So, wow, an early day.
("Hi honey, I'll be home early tonight. What's for dinner"!)
Meanwhile (thank goodness) Crystal "Scoots" Irvin gave us a reason to stay and watch, as she mowed down most of the field in Sportsman, finally bowing out in the semi final. Nice run Scoots!!
So, with ANRA season opener in the books, it's on to the Spring Nationals- May 31- June 2, and an opportunity to redeem ourselves.
