I'm thinkin he must be at least 70. Even for somebody in their 30's that is nasty. Looked just like Bobby Gunther Walsh's crash at G-view the other week |

Just turned 70 and his 50th wedding anniversary. I spoke to Mike and he said his father was tired of looking at that car just sitting there completely race ready so he said he would take it out |

I just got done watching the Thursday event (Fonda) on Flo. Sure looked like a payback from the #35. The #33 (Mahaney) pinched the #35 (Curtis?) a little on the initial start off of turn 4, and then again going into one (racing deal - I doubt the #33 had any idea that the #35 was there). Two corners later, going into turn #3, #35 flew it in on the inside at a rate even a grandstand/sofa watcher like me could see that the car would never be able to hold the bottom at that speed/entry, and was no surprise when it pushed up a lane or more, but was a surprise was the additional fade to the right by the #35, punting the #33 into the outside wall/tires. Hard hit. Glad to see the #33 land on it's wheels, and see the driver eventually climb out of his car. Not so glad to see the driver of the #35 then end up just making a pits stop, and then rejoin the race like business as usual. |

Mike said his dad just got in over the berm and lost it, no payback. |

That's nice of him, but go to Flo replay section, and go to "Short Track Super Series Fonda 200", "Full Replay Fonda 200 Thursday at Fonda Speedway 9/14/23", and fast forward to the 1:39:25 time stamp and watch to 1:39:50 and let me know what you think. I'm not seeing a lot of "got up on the berm," but I am seeing that the #35 really sailed it into #3, and makes contact with the #33, and the #33 goes hard into the wall as a result. |

I guess Mike didn't see the action, you were right! |
