That was my thought - what was Levi thinking? And what do you think he told Tony about this?

And in Robert Mayson's write up posted on www.scrafan.com, Jesse comments on his slider of Cardey...http://www.hoseheadforums.com/forum~ThreadID~23370.htm

It seems that "crushing" someone with your RR is becoming a more acceptable form of racing.

If they went back to a more narrow RR, I bet the racing would be better and you may not see as much slide jobs going bad.

Seemed like a lot equipment got tore up due to ill advised slide jobs in this race. Lucky no one got hurt.

I FEEL YOU! I've been to the Oval Nationals three times and loved every minute of it. This year, I was sitting at home, watching the World of "Followers", er Outlaws, and it halfway pissed me off that I had to watch that when the Ovals were going on at the same time.

Does anyone on here actually watch Speed Channel more than a few minutes a week? I think that channel sucks, actually, and I love racing.:headbang

The problem with Speed Channel is that they don't show a lot of racing. There are a lot of after market sales pitches disguised as "how to" shows; Pinks (whatever the hell that show is), NASCAR Confidential, reality shows about wrecker drivers (you would think that they would at least do one about push trucks); but very little racing. If there was ever a channel ready for a revival of "Thunder". Just where is Ligner these days, anyway?

i hope the hell USAC or some Indiana track gets air time with a few live shows next year. i see the winged ascs sprints are on VS next year. What is USAC doing to get some air time next year? i have been to numerous wing shows over the years and i'm sorry but they just don't race like sprint cars. they are fast but battles are rare on the big tracks they run. i would like to less wide tires on all sprint car series. they have engine rules why not shrink the tires? the winged shows may even get better.....
