He seemed to be giving Greg Carlucci Sr. a hard time. I was amazed he was that young then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

texasprd Posted January 14, 2021 Report Share Posted January 14, 2021 (edited) I remember that school bus race - I think it was at the first of the postseason CrashORamas(name ?). I believe that was the same day he won the train race in his Dirty30 car after going a lap down when the pulling car paired with him spun and wound up side by side facing the same way. Chrudimsky fired up his engine, spun his car around against the chain so he was in the pulling position, and off they went after the other "train". I thought they lost all chance when his trunk lid came open and blocked the view out of the back (as the pulling car, he was going backwards), but it didn't slow him down. Not only did they unlap themselves but they repassed the lead pair to win. Between the bus and train races, he put on quite a show that day. Didn't win the boat race, but he was entertaining in that as well. 😁😁 Edited January 16, 2021 by texasprd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RodneyRodriguez Posted January 14, 2021 Report Share Posted January 14, 2021 That was the first one great memory! He dominated that day and made the event, hell he made every one of those events. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NowOnDirt Posted January 15, 2021 Report Share Posted January 15, 2021 No one is talking about the time he dropped his pants and MOOOONED SAS fans and had to pack up and go home....classic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arob Posted January 15, 2021 Report Share Posted January 15, 2021 I was there that night. I think the said moon was aimed at Tommy Grimes (?) walking along pit lane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
top_shelf_12 Posted January 16, 2021 Report Share Posted January 16, 2021 Chris Davidson in his pit stall near the scales. He was in the stands after his Modified became a fireball down the back stretch and even caught some of the grass behind the wall on fire. We were behind his parents that night, momma was scared, daddy was reassuring he's fine. Mark comes up and asked if anyone had some hot dogs or marshmallows guess he heard something from the Davidson camp and Mark dropped anchor and exposed the full moon and the Davidson camp was laughing in the pits.
