    Cts @ Orpi

    Craftsman Trucks at Oreilly Raceway Park. There was lots of three waide racing, a few spins and some banged up trucks, but at least everyone kept them on all fours this year.

    The 08's GPS apparently didn't warn him of the spin in front of him

    The 00 did a nice smokey spin, kept it off the wall and was almost clear, till another driver couldn't see through the smoke and clipped his frontend

    Nice night for a victory party.... although it started with a 2 1/2 hour rain delay

    Trivia? look at the picture of the #88 truck under the "M' of Menards there is a silver floss decal. Who did silver floss sponsor in INDY cars in the 70's?

    Naw, you just stumped everyone. I know the answer but figured I would give someone else a chance. If no one gets it by Sunday I'll give the answer.

    OK I saw that on the truck and laughed, I remember my Mom buying that sauerkraut back then and never acquired a taste for it, YUK. Just mustard on my hotdog !

    Am I the only one that noticed how happy everyone in the last photo looked except the guy holding the flag?

    Maybe he was having a bad day? I will look for him in St Louis and tell him not to be so grumpy looking in victory lane:-)
    Tad have fun down @ St. Helens!

    I noticed that guy, the only thing I can think of is that everyone behind the cameras looked the same way. It was hot and wet, the race was delayed 2 1/2 hours, it was late and he was probably like me.... wanting to go home and get some sleep!

    The guy that looks really grumpy is Danny, I told him about the picture and just laughed!
    I gave him the name of this site so he could see the shot?
    St Louis truck race was good!

    Re: Cts @ Orpi

    Well I hope he has a good laugh when he sees it, he was probably worn out considering how late the race started. You have to plan on rain here though, especially if theres a race
