I read on the "FOZ BLOG" Lindsay's essay on "HOW I SPENT NEW YEARS EAVE 2012". I thought it was a great piece of Blogmanship i have known for years that them Kentucky Hill Billy Ambrose's were cheaters.
Back in his day the father RON cheated in TQ midgets racing an old worn out German outboard motor aganist them cute little Honda motors and beating them with a chain no less. It's a good thing them guys got on top of their rules or they would have been running mini-sprints today.
I know for a fact that the brothers Lyn and Collin are cheating because we cheat and they beat us all the time. I also noticed that Collin had weights hanging from his rear torsion tubes, this has got to be illeagle and maybe just a little rude also.
I went to the MMSA banquet and Tony made a trip down there too promote his show. I asked about groving up some slicks. Back in my day they did not have dirt specific tires so we groved up slicks. I can still remember my first set of Ascot's they were sure neat but only came in one size. It's a good thing we didn't know about stager back then. Tony said dirt tires only, not mini sprint tires only. what is the difference between a 15 year old TQ tire, a worn out left rear, A hard old sp3 and or a new Focus midget tire. They are all dirt tires. A rose by any other name wouid it not smell as sweet or be as soft.
We did not want to spend $300.00 for a new set of hard rear tires to race 2 races on. The reason Tony said dirt tires was to keep it cheap.
It was probably a good thing that A.J. Felker came with us to the race.
most of us dumb dirt racers did not have a clue about set up. Only Lindsay and the brothers Ambrose had any pavement experience at all.
A.J. helped anyone who asked and was responsible for keeping us all off of our tops.
We had a great time, I got drunker than I should, Lindsay a bit of advice from an old timer mini sprinter "BUY A BETTER FUEL PUMP" those old flowtru just always give up at the wrong time.
