The 2010 racing came to an end at 85 Speedway with the conclusion of the Halloween Showdown on October 30th. After letting my dad race my car for the first five races of the season, I was able to use the last 16 races to finish the season in 5th place overall. After racing for the past three years in the Cruiser division, I decided to retire the #80 Cruiser. As you can see in the photo, my mom is chilling in the car after I started cutting it apart.
