Brainerd Int. Raceway and 2013 season start

Post by gpdatsun »

After an abortive weekend at BFR where I got taken out in qualifying, I got the car back together for BIR and picked up two wins, plus a track record. So we're back on track for the season and looking forward to June Sprints to test a new engine built for the 2012 runoffs that blew a head gasket. Time to refresh the other engine that has pulled so well, new springs, rings and bearings!

Are you actually sponsered by Nissan and Goodyear? If so better than Skoal and some of the other goofy sponsers I see in racing 8)

Right on man!! Though not a racer, I LOVE to hear how you guys do, and it's great to read about such success! Congrats, and I hope the new motor is even better than the old one. Track record, that ROCKS!!
