IN JANUARY,  I STARTED GETTING MY CAR READY FOR THE 2001 RACE SEASON. I HAD TO MAKE SOME CHANGES ON THE CAR TO COMPLY WITH THE SPEEDWAY'S RULES. BUT AFTER 3 MONTHS OF SANDING, CUTTING, WELDING, SOME MINOR BODY WORK THE ONLY THING LEFT TO DO WAS TO PAINT IT. I HAD A HARD TIME TRYING TO DECIDE WHAT COLOR TO PAINT IT. ALL THE OTHER CARS IN MY CLASS ARE EITHER BLUE, BLACK, RED, YELLOW OR GREEN. I THOUGHT HMMM...WHY NOT BE DIFFERENT. WHY NOT BE THE ONLY WHITE CAR OUT THERE...

I THINK IT TURNED OUT PRETTY GOOD!!

NOW THE 2001 SEASON IS DONE FOR US AT THE TRACK TILL NEXT APRIL. THIS YEAR WAS A PRETTY GOOD YEAR I THOUGHT. I HAD SOME GREAT COMPETITION, A FEW DENTS HERE AND THERE (nothing major).

THE LAST RACE OF THE SEASON, I WAS IN THE LEAD AND WITH ONLY 6 LAPS TO GO, I BLEW SOMETHING IN MY MOTOR. THATS A GOOD THING THOUGH, CAUSE NOW I HAVE A GREAT REASON TO PUT IN THAT BIGGER MOTOR I NEED.

I FINISHED 14TH IN POINTS IN MY CLASS OUT OF 36 CARS REGISTERED AT THE TRACK IN MY DIVISION.
