    Thumbs up New driver to the Figure-8 division

    Mike Rommeney of the Blunderbust, rollovers, and demo divisions, will now be a Fig-8 contender. He has bought the 64 car of Carl Voelker and will finish this year to get a feel of the division. He is looking forward to have fun and to learn from fellow drivers like Roger Maynor. "Who is better to learn from?", he says.

    Well Mike, you are my friend. I wish you luck and don't worry, if you win, I won't be mad as long as I get to be in the picture haha.

    The car count doesn't go up because of this, unless of course, Carl Voelker is building or buying a new one. But we wish Mike Rommeney much luck, and remind him to remember which car he is in each time he races, just so he doesn't make a wrong turn into the "X" during his racing in other divisions (J/K).
    Where did everyone go????

    The car count does not go up, but Carl was moving, so this keeps things alive.
    There are other cars out there, so if any one is looking to move up from Blunderbust to a division that pays well, just ask around, we will find a car for you. Good luck, Mike. That car will do well.

    Good luck! If you keep this up, pretty soon there will be a "Cheesebox" in every single race run at Riverhead, and you'll get all the exercise you could ever need just jumping from one car to another all night long!

    I think Mike may have found his calling! He probably had better luck in the Figure 8 car last night than he's had in an entire Blunderbust season. Way to go Mike!
