I am hoping to race Painesville next week. The Joker Poker needs a trans and an intake leak fixed. Hope to have this rectified after this weekend. I do plan on finishing the season at Erie with my other car and hopefully race Painesville again at the end of the season. I just hope its still around. I truly enjoy racing at Erie. Its a very professional atmosphere and the drivers, staff, ownership and fans are wonderful. Even though it all sounds perfect, I love racing at Painesville. Its the best short track around! Exciting, rugged, and packed with action. Unfortunately, I could no longer maintain a competitive trophystock unless I spent a load of cash. Ultimately, I did when I went to Erie, but my car has only truly been in one accident and the track is so welcoming and so great at promoting the drivers and their cars. I just couldn't justify racing at Painesville with a high dollar car, knowing it would just get smashed by some ridiculous accident. So, Craig and I bought the Joker Poker figure 8 car.  I hope Painesville stays so I can get back in the 8. Its way too much fun not to race Painesville. Cya soon! Drew
