Bad to Worse?

Our race weekend got off to a bad start when we discovered a stuck valve on the 21 before loading the car Saturday morning.  So, no pro stock racing for us this weekend.  Because of this, everyone decided to throw everything we had in with street stock Team 11, Sean Callens.  The night got off to a great start with Sean winning his heat with a car that looked great.  There were over twenty cars and for the main, they inverted the start (starting to notice a theme here?).  With the fast guys at the back, and the, how should we put this, not so fast guys at the front, it wasn't long before disaster struck.  A rollover at the front took out a number of good cars and got a piece of ours.  We managed to come back out a few laps down and we were running cars down.  Another car spun in front of us and drifted up the track and we got a big piece of that.  To summarize, the night ended like this:
 As always, check the links for photo and videos.  The street stock GoPro footage will be particularly entertaining.  We tried a helmet cam this time.

Soon, Team 21 is headed back to Santa Maria Speedway.  I think we need the change of scenery.
