    Cletus learned a lot from that race. The last race was a lot more race and a lot less destruction derby. The biggest take out was actually Kurt Busch taking out Kevin Smith for the win. So they didn’t invite some guys back and actually added a few rules. Every race is getting better.

      I beg to differ. Sure, there are crashes, and emotions get high and hot sometimes, that's the passion and the competition, but they did not crash each other much, I am sure. They'd be dead. Several of the guys did get killed, from Fireball Roberts, a top guy in the old days, to good ol' Dale Earnhardt, 20 years ago. The difference is the demo derby, where crashing is the whole purpose of the event.

    Randy is awesome!! He was our factory Porsche driver, back when I worked at AJR. This guy can wheel just about anything....with wheels. He's super fit too. Probably will live to be like 100. This looks like so much fun! Especially smashing old cop cars like we used to have at the city garage.

I am very happy that Cleetus has gotten most everyone to start taking these races a little more seriously. There were a couple races both a Freedom 500 and a 2.4 hours that got a little ridiculous to say the least. I want to watch racing and guys having fun racing. Not guys doing stupid shit that could seriously hurt someone. If someone dies in one of those crown vics it could be the end of crown vic racing. Randy if you see this, I hope you do come back for another more competitive crown vic race!
