After about a month of rainouts and other events, racing will resume this weekend with back-to-back shows at Lassiter Mountain on Friday night and Holiday Beach on Saturday (that's Paul staging the Cuda Beast in the lower left photo on the flier). Paul and the team are champing at the bit to leave the weekend in command of the series points battle, in which Paul and three others are tied for first. Rain chances are about nil, but it will be hot.
Last week's test of the new engine setup planned for Steele, Ala., didn't come off for a crazy bit of bad luck involving the new truck (a cleaning rag inside the turbo, if you can believe it). Damage was slight, and a $275 part has things as good as new.
Best chance for race coverage will be www.promodifieds.us , even though Brian can't make the races. They will get info out some way. You can also check www.promodracing.net for news. I'll pass along any news from Paul.
Here's a shot of the steep shutdown area at Holiday Beach, where the Beast scraped its nose at the last race. It will ride a half-inch higher this time.
