Disappointed…Wednesday, April 30, 2008
Posted by: Matt and Angie Smith
Well, I guess disappointed would be an understatement at his point. We definitely didn’t have the weekend we wanted at Atlanta last weekend. With Angie not qualifying and me going out second round, we were very upset with how things shook out.

We know what happened to my bike. We just ended up making the wrong call. As for Angie’s bike I have no idea. We have been running it on the chassis dyno all week and are actually headed up to Bristol to test today before we head out to St. Louis. Hopefully we will get all the bugs worked out today and will be ready to go kick some tail at Gateway this weekend.

Last year my bike ran great at St. Louis, so I hope to go right back out there and do that again. By looking at the weather, the conditions are going to be ridiculous. The high is like 59 degrees on Saturday and 63 degrees on Sunday. I think you will definitely see a new national record this weekend. I just hope it is us that sets the record. It’s going to be great for the fans. You will by far get more than your moneys worth this weekend.

It is going to be an interesting weekend also because there are a lot of good teams running strong right now and it is basically anybody’s game. At the first three events whoever ended up No. 1 going into raceday is the one that won the race, so if that streak keeps going I hope I’m on top after Saturday. HA HA HA! Regardless, wherever you qualify in the field anybody has a chance. Hopefully we will be right back where we left off last year in St. Louis when qualifying kicks off on Friday.

I gotta get back to it. Hope to see you all there!
