John Schmidt runs 820

[straightline]

People, fair warning an almost totally off topic post about racing. Straightline, when I was racing dirt there was a track the owner tried mightily to make perfect, track and grounds. Just inside of turn one there was a small mudhole. My left front tire went into the mudhole every lap! The track owner asked me why I hit the mudhole every lap. I told him the truth, I just herded the car around the track, the car chose the exact path. I tried a few times staying out of the mudhole but the car must have been part pig, it liked running in the mudhole! I also ran snuggled up against the wall on the straights so I was using every bit of the track and a little more!

I told him I wouldn't be upset if he put a big tire or mound of dirt where the mudhole was at but as long as I could run there I had to. It was the fastest way around the track for my car.

As for contact, I have never been black flagged but I have caused the flagman to pick it up a handful of times. Mostly I preferred a polite nudge at exactly the wrong moment for the other car and plausible deniability!

OK, back to the regularly scheduled program!

I won't mention any names but anybody that could run 820 legal or not could run 833 if they had the balls of a bull gerbil!

This is every bit OnT. People gotta come in and manhndle the thing. Elegantly of course.

Efren had $200.000 on the line best I recall. When he reaches and shakes his shirt it is an indication his heart was beating like a triphammer! Mike was one of the few people with a winning record against Efren at the time. Efren was even nicknamed the bridesmaid for awhile because he came second to Mike so often. Mike has a mouth but he backed it up for years.

mike had no business being in that final. being seeded TO the final was nothing other than a monetary gift from his buddy KT..
