Testing for Lights Out 12 today. Tim Slavens goes full send and probably needed a new set of underwear after this pass.

I'm laughing my arse off because whatever is going on makes it sounds like there's hysterical laughter in the background as his car is flying by.

I have asked if it’s legal to cross the centerline in the air and if that counts as a DQ. I haven’t gotten a solid answer yet

You mean they do some other sport in Valdosta besides high school football?

They do a few big events a year. The track is always on absolute kill. This is at least the 3rd or 4th time this has happened. I was there for Dennis Bailey’s wreck years ago and it was a miracle he not only walked away but was at work on Monday.

Bailey takes flight

Ive been in a car that got up and caught some air and it was fricking terrifying. Big wheelies never scared me. It’s the second wheelie that gets you every time.

Cant say I have done it. I have seen it.

Pretty sad that major teams will be sitting on the sidelines this season due to lack of sponsorship.

Which ones? Most of these guys I know are self sponsored. But I’ve been adjacent at best the last few years but have an X275 car that should be ready for the Fall race.

Terry McMillen couldn’t finish last season after Amalie backed out.

There are a few in the NHRA.

I can guarantee the two of us have crossed paths. There are many small no nothing teams that are out just to race. I have reached into my pocket many times with those guys to help buy fuel or whatever to make it through the weekend.

Sad that this generation will never know.

Ahh yeah those guys need the sponsor money. This is more dudes who know the best way to end a season with $100k in the bank is to start with $300k.

Sometimes falling feels like flying, for a little while.
