Asses kicked ? I don't think so .
To even contemplate going there is something. All the planning ,all the meetings,all the time away from home.
To get there ,get through practices and qualifying,with nerves still intact is something.
To get through the inevitable unknown ahead of time breakdowns and to be prepared for anything is quite a feat.
To keep going after breakdown after breakdown and when it becomes obvious that now just finishing is best you can hope for , is something!
I have not met you Jeff (yet) but I do know a lot of the guys and even without the extra incentive that the KIDS gave you they are all REAL racers and don't give up unless it's catastrophic .
So... Asses kicked I don't think so .
I think you guys went to the big show ,played the hand that you were dealt and did your possible best.
I as a supporter and someone who knows what it takes to accomplish what you did couldn't ask any more out of you .
Congratulations on you finish.
