I remember his Mini Champ and jet ski racing days. My mom and dad helped Mace Thomas build his first Mini Champ. Years later, I helped Mace rebuild the same Mini Champ to put in his museum. He...
It's being said by the two guys working on the cat idea, the price point is near the $50 range. Between Dan Binks and Mike Fedorcak, they will make it right.

I know this is a conversation about nonwing dirt racing, but what has really surprised me is how for years everyone cried about the usac pavement side of things. Begged for its return. The 500...
I wouldn't hang your hat on the idea that electric cars and trucks is the future. Working alongside the automotive industry for the last 26 years, they are reeling back production. At my day job, we...
When I raced with MTS we had a muffler rule for all nights. Going back to pavement racing, I havent seen one night were they tell us to run mufflers. I remember in the early 2000s Berlin raceway...
Believe it or not. When Martin began a multi million dollar renovation on the drag strip, they had planned into the budget to rebuild the oval. Unfortunately that part of the property was all peat...
You are correct. There wasn't any straightaway and you just exited the track where ever you wanted. I ran there once. You just kinda kept the throttle at a certain point and just kept the car...
The car I drove at Rumble was a reverse rotation all iron mercruiser also known as a chevy II. I am currently building a chevy II with a Barnes head and injection. The mercruiser Ford is a huge...
I hope it thins the crowd some. The last time I went it was total chaos and was never able to talk to who I wanted to. I know several key people only show up on the first day do to how bad Friday and...
I had a Mav TV subscription when they first offered it. KO bought me a Flo racing subscription for Christmas two years ago and I haven't looked back. This Christmas I'll have to buy my own. I tell...
After talking with hoosier tire people, the rain outs have been easing the shortage some. But if they allow a free for all, there wont be enough tires. Even the Little 500 had a tire restriction....
Forcing teams to buy tires at the track the day of the race eliminates all the small teams like mine who don't always buy new every night. I raced for 10 years on dirt and hardly had new tires. No...
We joked that KO hadn't ran that high in years. The ice was really bad and they struggled to get plowed what was plowed. I'm really glad my wife, Kevin's oldest, got to drive him for his last lap and...
Yes they both are Barnes engines. Andy has been a huge help with my Barnes head and injection on my Rumble car that I am building. I know one of them is the original engine that Lealand won with. ...
I think part of the draw for me to watch the chili bowl is the fact that every year there are a couple breakout stars. The year Andrew Deal ran the A main on Saturday night with a barn find car was...
It's not just for winged pavement sprintcars. Super modifieds, roadsters, and rear engine cars are legal as well. The two guys running the deal have raced any combination imaginable.

They are calling it Outlaw Super Sprints. They already have a $5,000 point fund. I'm told they are hoping to have the rules set in the next week. A schedule has been drawn up and they are awaiting a...
Also these two guy have raced damn near every form of open wheel car. There is a deal in the rules stating that any car that is dominating the field, can and will be penalized.
