Re: concerning a recent thread about costs of racing

This is the "pillar" in red, I'm referencing. On the stealth's they were 1 1/4 .095. A friend of mine has an Elite and he said they were the same as my Stealth's were. His was an out door car (Don't...

Re: concerning a recent thread about costs of racing

It wasn't just chili bowl cars. It made pretty much all Stealths illegal and the earlier Elites, which were basically wide body Stealths. Their B pillars are slightly smaller. I can't remember the...

Re: concerning a recent thread about costs of racing

Exactly this comment. No matter what you do, the big teams will still spend as much money as they can to be dominant. A lot of them teams usually have huge sponsors and other big businesses helping...

Re: Robert Ballou's Comments after Macon

Personally I don't understand some of you guys not liking the word cheating in this aspect.

Rules state black and white, the weight has to be between the axles and below the mid rails.

Re: RIP Former Eldora & Gas City Promoter Jerry Gappens

Jerry was a class act and one of the nicest guys ever!

First time I met him, I was thinking "what now?" I seen pictures of what he looked like so I knew it was him. This was the first time we...

Re: USAC Insurace for drivers

One more issue to be worried about is how the police report the accident. I guess, after talking to a friend of mine that was air lifted out of the track multiple years ago. (Non USAC event though)...

Re: J.O Memorial, Lawrenceburg. Sat April 13th

Wouldn't have hit the wall if Robert held the wheel straight. Robert has enough experience to know if you're getting towed from the rear you have to hold the wheel straight. If you don't the front...

Re: J.O Memorial, Lawrenceburg. Sat April 13th

Re: J.O Memorial, Lawrenceburg. Sat April 13th

What all went on? Everyone I talked that was there when it happened, including ones down in the work area said he's upset about the tow truck passing his work area. Which wouldn't be an issue if he...

Re: J.O Memorial, Lawrenceburg. Sat April 13th

Seemed like a pretty good night.
Minus Ballou throwing a fit and getting physical with a tow truck driver. As usual nothing will probably be done about it.

Re: Burg still on for Saturday

Turn 3 Dip always made for great photos, but tended to send cars into a bike towards the wall. So to a point i'm glad to hear that it's gone. I haven't ran Kokomo in a couple years, anyone know if...

Re: Brownstown Midwest Thunder Sprints

Trey bought a new tall cage DRC for his local car. So he'd be running a car very similar to the new cars Ken bought for Trey to run. Which will help him get notes and everything, since each chassis...

Re: NO Mav coverage tonight???

Personally I'm glad it's on Flo now. I actually watch the chili bowl now. Other years I never wasted my time watching it. It was kind of pointless to watch it, but can't watch the last couple main...

Re: Emerson Axsom has new plans for the 2024 season.

You'd be surprised how many people use midgets or non wing cars just to get their name out for a winged ride Some don't actually care about midgets or non wing. (Not saying Emerson didn't care about...

Re: Ohio Sprint Week 2024 Dates.....

Added it up on google. Was around 856 miles starting at Attica. Millstream date is questionable. I understand they're trying to get tracks closer to their normal day they race.

Re: Chili Bowl now 20k win and 2k to start A main

Even if the Chili Bowl was 100k to win, I don't think Bell would be there, due to his boss. Coy was the big advocate of getting Joe Gibbs to let Bell race dirt. Since Coy passed away I don't think...

Re: Wisconsin WingLess Sprints. Thoughts.

Problem would be in my opinion trying to get car counts. In the more central/northern Indiana region around Gas City/Montpelier you'd be fighting the USAC D2 series. I don't see a lot of 410 guys...
