    Was making my third pass last night everything was going well and I just lit the second bulb then all of a sudden the starter runs up waving his arms. Good thing to, a deer walked out on the track at the quarter stripe.
    Waited a minute then made the pass but hoped he didn't have any more friends following him. It was crazy.

    Woah. I think your deer whistles stop working at about 120mph.

    Was this at Capitol?

    A friend of mine used to race motorcycles...one night he hit a turkey on the top end of the track! Hit him in the chest/ribs going probably a little over 100. Didn't break anything except the turkey lol...he had to take a few days off work though. This was at Windy Hollow in Owensboro where we had the Roundup a few years ago. He races cars now lol.
