Is it Tuesday?

It must be Tuesday, because every Tuesday, without fail FDS Racing brings you “Post Nut Clarity”
Our new vlog segment recapping the weekend’s racing or lack thereof.
Heres part 1 of me rambling on about what I saw, and what I think.

NEW CONTENT ALERT — because apparently the social media manager thinks we’re a legitimate racing organization now.

Got some new segments in the works for the page as we continue our completely unnecessary attempt to make this operation look professional.

First up, our new pre-race prep, plans, predictions and general overconfidence segment will officially be known as:

“FOREPLAY”

This is where we’ll discuss the race, the car, what we changed, what we probably shouldn’t have changed, and explain in great detail how everything is supposed to go before reality inevitably gets involved.

Then, once the checkered flag falls and we’ve had a little time to process our decisions, our post-race recap, analysis, excuses, finger pointing and general buffoonery will be known as:

“POST NUT CLARITY”

This is where we calmly reflect on what actually happened, determine which of our brilliant ideas were terrible, assess the damage, blame the driver, blame the car, blame the track, blame each other, and eventually admit that maybe we just screwed up.

Expect technical insight, questionable opinions, unnecessary sarcasm, occasional useful information and absolutely no guarantee of professionalism.

Basically:

FOREPLAY:
“We’ve got a really good package tonight.”

POST NUT CLARITY:
“Well… that was fu***ng stupid.”

Anyway, that’s enough exciting news from the marketing department.

Now back to your regularly scheduled programming.

Sometimes you’re the windshield

Sometimes you’re the bug…

Tonight we were the bug.

Qualifying was tough, Ronnie went out and was about a 1/2 second off where it was last night, after all 38 cars made their qualifying attempts, Ronnie shook out to 27th.

Top 24 seeded in the A main, everyone else went to the B main with the winner getting the transfer to the A.

Starting inside row 2 for the 20 lap B main, he had a good shot at the win, but after some contact on the opening laps cracked a valve stem on the right front, the tire kept gradually losing pressure and eventually went all the way down with Ronnie ending up in the wall out of 2, ending the night.

Big thank you to the Barnes Family for trusting Ronnie with the hot rod, we’ll try again next time.

Also a Big thanks to Recoil Racing Videos for the SD card, since I brain farted and left mine in the computer at home 🙄

In car footage to follow… eventually

Practice night at Auburndale Speedway for the pure stock Jeff Warren Memorial 78 lapper on Saturday night.

Big thank you to the Barnes family for the hot rod this weekend, gonna try like hell to put it in victory lane!

Also a big thank you to our sponsors:
Stag Industries
Noble Care Pharmacy
Davidson Used Auto Parts
FDS Unlimited

Happy Birthday to Taylor! 🎂🥳

A wonderful wife, an amazing mom to 3 kids… and living proof that you can be a genuinely good person while still looking like you’re two minor inconveniences away from throat-punching somebody.

Taylor spends her days raising three kids, keeping the family together, and driving around in a lifted black Jeep with an RBF that says, “No, I’m not mad… but keep talking and I might be.”

And because apparently motherhood and terrorizing people in traffic weren’t enough hobbies, she also straps herself into a Crown Vic to race Powder Puff and Rookie class. 🏁

Nothing says “responsible mother of three” quite like climbing into a retired police car and sending it around an oval with a bunch of other questionable adults.

She’s a great mom.
She’s a great wife.
She’s a good friend.
She can also be mean as hell, and somehow the lifted Jeep only makes the whole situation more intimidating.

So Happy Birthday, Taylor!

May your Jeep stay lifted, your Crown Vic stay off the wall, your kids give you at least 17 consecutive minutes of peace, and your RBF continue scaring strangers into leaving you alone.

We love ya — even though your face frequently suggests that the feeling is absolutely not mutual. 😂🏁🎂
