Part of the history of the BiGFooT Racing Teams finds it roots in the Bill Bookout/Charlie Wells modified and super modified race cars of the 60's and 70's. One of the phrases used to describe Charlie's racing style was "wreckers or checkers". Unfortunately it applies somewhat to the results for the BiGFooT sprinter this year.

He had worked his way up to about 7th or 8th (on his way to a higher finish than that) when IT happened. Coming out of turn four, the sprinter got a...more
