I did not get to race this weekend due to a ban imposed on me by the Minden Kinsmen (I know, I know, I am not aware they have the power or the right to do so and I still don't, please help me understand). As a result I had plenty of time to enjoy the social aspect of our sport and opportunity to take lots of video (at bottom of page).

I was looking at the car I had spent $1700.00 on getting ready in the middle of a season just to have the Minden Kinsmen pull the plug on me and I decided it was too much of a waste to have it sit there. So Glenn Mckay (SAC#70) didn't get his planned on ride and I said "take my car out and see what u can do". Glenn has never driven a locked rearwheel car. The last car he drove was a 4x4 Audi. You can check out Glenn's progress as Ovlov's Team driver in the various video shorts below.

From L to R - Jeff Wenzel (SAC#9), Al MacWickie (SAC#2A), Steffan Haas (SAC#14), Gianni Biral (SAC#12)	There were a lot of long faces this weekend. despite the willingness of DAC to support me and allow me to race the Minden Kinsmen refused and threatened to shutdown the track if DAC allowed me to race. This group of stud racers refused to race the last race Sunday in protest over my being banned by the Minden Kinsmen..Thankyou guys (They are all also great SAC members!)
