If you want to start paying to bills to travel then i will. If not i am going to go where it pays the bills. And on sat nights it is putnamville. See you at kokomo there might be some cars there but running for almost the same money.

Did you make the feature at Putnamville June 6? Have fun at Kokomo June 7. Only 30%-40% chance of storms for the area between 5 and 11pm tomorrow (1700-2300).

What's Money got to do with it He still had to beat the other 17 drivers who are there running their ass off to win for $1000.00 just as hard if it was 10,000.00 if you don't think so pony up get you a ride and try it out :15:

They had less then 20 cars Start the feature at the USAC show at Mercer tonight and that was for The 4 The $$$$$. but hell it will cost those teams more money to run that race then they could win.

Re: Billy Puterbaugh Wins LPS
 
Even with the small field of 17 DA still payed 1200 to win. It doesnt matter where you go there are no easy ones. Races that is.

Dude, here's your chance to put your money where you mouth is. It costs a $1,000 a night to race this car. You give us $5,000 to race 5 big money races of your choice and we'll race Billy there. Otherwise, you might want to mind your own business.

Last night at Putnamville and the previous week, they had a smooth track, and we got done and out of there by 9:30. Can't say that for any other track.

Most racers have an agenda.

Billy Puterbaugh's agenda is to win the Gas City and Putnamville championship for the third year in a row with a hope of winning his first Kokomo title.

Why would he or anyone steer off that path? :14:

Good job, Billy. Good luck tonight in Kokomo.

LEADERS EDGE 6/7/09 11:04 AM

Re: Billy Puterbaugh Wins LPS
 
Congrats to the Puterbaugh's and the Phillip's. Lot of hard work went into that.

That was a good field of cars and anytime you beat Christian,Hollingsworth,and Gaines then you have done something.

I'm really glad to hear the track is staying nice. Hopefully they can get back some cars and fans.

Was extremely happy to hear that Ryan Hamilton ran third in Jerry Powell's car. Ryan qualified the same exact car for the Anderson Little 500. It is one of John Scott's TCR cars from the early 2000's.

I'm not a guy who believes that if you lose then you are a loser. Sometimes a tenth is a win when things aren't going right. Hell, sometimes just loading up a rolling race car is a win even if you miss the show. I also don't believe there is some magical car count or $ figure that dictates a race that was worth winning and one that wasn't. If it wasn't worth winning then no one would have came in the first place. Everyone starts the night off with the same goal in mind and that is to cash the big check at the end.

Because it was his first sprint car win. Not his fault there were only 12, the others went to Haubstadt.

Congrats to Billy. Winning isn't easy no matter where you go.

Also want to give out a congrats to Ryan Hamilton driving for Jerry Powell. Ryan has had some bad luck past couple of years with his own equipment. Glad to see him running well for Jerry. It is only a matter of time until they get there program ironed out and get that first victory.

The skies are looking clear for Kokomo today, Sun Jun 7 from 1400-2200 only 30% chance of showers or T-storms. If I were a bettin' lady, I'd put my money on you for Harf night feature win.

Have fun!

LEADERS EDGE 6/7/09 3:01 PM

Re: Billy Puterbaugh Wins LPS
 
Bloomington has the odd night when they have less than 20 cars. So if someone, say Brady Short because he is a damn good driver like Billy Puterbaugh, so if Brady beats Christian,Hollingsworth, and Gaines, then somehow because there where less than 20 cars; then it wasn't a good win? C'mon now. We all know that is B.S. and an insult to the guys he beat.

Just because it's Putnamville and people don't like D.A.; that doesn't mean there isn't some good cars there.

Billy also put on a pretty convincing show at Kokomo last week and that was against the toughest competition in the state on that night as it was a KISS show, so like it or not; Puterbaugh has nothing to prove to anyone. At least in my opinion.

Don't get me wrong; I am all about racing against the best, but I also understand the expenses and logistics of running a team and making a sound financial decision on when and where to race on a given night.

I think for anyone; driver or fan, to want to say that a win didn't mean that much because of who WASN'T there is pretty rediculous. If it was a case of Steve Kinser going to some hole of a track and just beating the guys to a pulp all the time, then I could see what the point is. Even Steve would find it tough going to come to any of the Indiana tracks on any given Sat. and beat up on the competition. Not saying he wouldn't/couldn't win, just saying it wouldn't be easy.

Re: Billy Puterbaugh Wins LPS
 
hey guys i gotta tell ya Billy earned that win he put one hell of a move on Gaines and Kent and I were putting pressure on them as well as each other. And there were alot of nice cars there no matter how you look at it, its never easy congrats to Billy on the win. Would also like to say thanks to Scott Baue for all the help getting Jerrys car workin for us thanks Leaders Edge.

600minisprint 6/7/09 4:48 PM

Re: Billy Puterbaugh Wins LPS
 
It also helps drive that start on the pole to that win

LEADERS EDGE 6/7/09 5:22 PM

Re: Billy Puterbaugh Wins LPS
 
Thanks Ryan, but it's the loose nut behind the wheel the ultimately decides if the car is going to do well or not.

As far as saying starting on the pole is a good way to get a win, well I have to agree with you. Just like it helps to be tall to play basketball at the professional level and it helps to be good looking to be a cover model, and it helps to be wealthy from the start of life and it helps to be born with all of your senses in tact; but none of those things gurantee eventual success.

To do anything well in life and to do it well for an extended period of time; that is hard work and that is sacrifice and that is the definition of a competitor. No matter what advantage you start with, you ultimately have to make sure that you keep that advantage as well as develop that advantage.

If it is the track that some people don't like, then say: "Hey; nice job for winning, I'm just not a fan of that track" or if it is the Driver you don't like, then instead of trying to take away from them, just keep it to yourself.

Not everyone is a fan of everybody and that is part of what makes the world go 'round; but to try and downgrade someone else's well-deserved accomplishments because of personal prejudices and dislikes just makes people look small and petty.

I don't care if you are 12,20,50 or 100. If someone earns something by doing it the right way and with hard work, then as a true competitor you have to respect that. You don't have to like it, but you have to repect it because if you can't; then you yourself will never feel true accomplishment in your personal successes.

Basically; what I am trying to say is: If you don't like it, that's cool; Just don't be a Dick about it.

Whichever anyone wants to choose; that is my opinion of it.

sry to affend anyone but i have been to ALOT of races that people start on the pole and win races quite often.. i like the drivers that don start up there and win there the ones that are the better racers i think....

According to some that final results really don't matter because there wasn't a Indy 500 caliber field of cars and Billy was just pickin on people... you know the cat punching the mouse....:34: BP congrats again man Joe told me at Tri-State you had won!!

so why knock a good guy who works damn hard just because he races at a place that allows him to afford to keep racing every week? Plus the Puterbaughs as a family have always been a credit to racing...... so he might have started up front this week, I tend to think he's won from other spots besides the pole and he WON it, he didn't LOSE it...lol, jealousy will get you nowhere, try hard work!
