He did both of those, and He's also the "Scooter Crashin' Hoodlum!"... I believe in the post-race interview, his reasoning was "The throttle stuck!" :rolleyes::rolling

Hey Jerry, were we supposed to learn something from this?? LOL
I know every bit as much now, as I did before Kirk responded, which is nothing. One of those mystery guys with a mystery job, I guess. At least you tried Jerry!

[QUOTE=Kirk Spridgeon;27594] I started writing down races in my notebook when I was six, and I still catch grief from a lot of people for carrying it around even now! haha


I think that Kirk is what you might call a talent searcher for drivers, for the company he works for. He still don't talk to me anymore over me giving him grief for that notebook he carries around. I just thought he was some kind of fanactic, no big deal cause he is. You go Kirk, you can't stay mad at me forever.

MMI is Motorsports Management International. You can check our website at MotorsportsManagement.com, although that site is about to be re-done to include more information. I work mainly with our younger drivers, including a few who have come out of USAC to take steps towards a career in NASCAR, and we have quite a few more racing in sprint cars and midgets...

Any other questions? haha

Hey Kirk,

Just a thought. I noticed when you wrote something on Hoseheads
for one of their many columns you unindated the reader with too much
data and statistics.

You lost me and may be some other readers. I thought you should
of shortened the stats, but added commentary with a synoptheisis'
or conclusion, general thoughts finally comings out with some fact
or theory you concluded from analysing all the data.

I know there is another famous guy who does something of
the same nature.

I think it's important to pose all the facts and every race
detail and story, but what the reader wants is somebody who
can view all those races, add thoughts or conclusions based
on all the data you have and finally come up with some human
interest story.

Because in reality it not who wins or loses or how many times
he does it, but the story behind the statistics.

As an example. You can say the Giants beat the Patriots,
but the human interest story is that it uplifted the country and gave
every man and boy in the world, that 'idea' that they too could do it, no matter how
many nay sayers said they couldn't.

These actions inspire a country and lift it higher than any bunch
of stats that were collected during the game. But on the same
token you can use those facts to inspire a "Point". That indeed
time and time again through the playoffs, the Giants were in reality
the team to beat. And the immaculate data presented by the Patriots
did not take into account that the Giants believed in themselves
and would not be denied.

That was a historic event and in the end the better team
won.

Dude,

You did mean inundated right?

Yep Big Bird,

That's what I meant...lol! I was close, but no cigar.

And by the way if those midgets in your Adar(?) had

wings they could fly!

Thanks for the correction...

A thread about Spridge...how did I miss this yesterday? Its like shooting fish in a barrel. Way too many jokes to be inserted here, I'm just going to let it pass.:O:

[Pat O'Connor Fan]

Trying to decipher the ramblings of someone who rattles on about how Spridge didn't write his old columns very well is somewhat akin to whizzing into the wind and then wondering why your shoes got wet.
