Very true.. BTW I am glad she is participating she will ultimately help the charity with the attention she brings. The driving experience is also positive.

Yes, all the drivers are to be commended.

No matter what she does (or doesn't do) there will be no shortage of haters chirping.
:cheers:
One thing to keep in mind is that even if she fails miserably she still will have done better than any of us could hope to do.

Henry has some good equipment they came through my track a couple times last year and the end of UMP points and ran pretty decent.
 
I have a feeling that I will end up ordering this event and the primary reason will be Danica.

Why have a pad? Very rare to see one in a dirt car, and they are pretty much useless.

I've seen some pretty busted up forearms and elbows from striking the steering wheel hub, even the bolts can tear you up. I'm analy safety conscious about my cars. If she's running a 13" wheel could you even sqeeze one in there?
I don't know what yall run on dirt now but I used to run a big 17-18" flat wheel when I ran dirt, of course we did'nt have power steering and at the time rack and pinion was a new thing on dirt.
 
She will have a handful, I've never drive an late model, but have drove an ump open wheel mod & a few center steer (like a sprint car type) and the movement of the rear end is something to get use to.

We run a 15 inch wheel as pretty standard. I got a couple buddies that run 17" wheels in their late models but they are old school and like having the school bus wheel.

I have a 15 inch in my car also. Have a 13 inch, but its useless. Id given it to her to use if they asked. Lol.
 
Danica just crashed on the last lap of her heat race. First caution of the night.:( Kurt Busch and JJ Yeley wreck in Heat No. 4. Damage to both cars.

I am constantly amazed by what these Nascar guys can go out and do, in other series'. They truly are great drivers . Congrats to Kyle and all of the drivers who participated.

Tony Stewart presented Dick Berggren with a signed helmet, which was pretty cool. And you can see it really meant a lot to Dick.

I'm glad he didn't smash him in the face with it, Aussie style. ;)

"Here you go Dick, let me fix that nose for ya"

Hmm, how can the view from the back of Jimmie's car show the front of Jimmie's car? Special new camera? :owquitit:

Nice observation. It was from his twitter feed, I must have assumed and you know what they say about when you assume something. I guess that old adage is true. :oops:
