There also needs to be random engine checks at all midget races. If the orgs are not going to check engines and enforce the rules, you might as well throw the rule book out and have a free for all. I haven't heard of a midget engine being checked in years. When the cats away, the mice will play.



Not pumping engines? Here you go blowing more smoke up everyones :moon:.. I have spent many nights well after trailers have pulled out tearing down our midget engines to have them pump... Cars I have worked on have been pumped on the 1/4 miles all the way up to the miles. We were even pumped at Speedrome. So this bull crap "might as well through rule book out because they dont check engines" is another one of your rediculous, non sense, making crap up posts. Maybe if you would come run with a national traveling series and quit your darn b!t(hing maybe one day you will get your engine pumped...

But we all know that the engine in the race car doesnt matter... Its those toter homes that cost as much as a house that won that race...

But instead of being in the shop making your cars better you would rather spend your life typing on a computer about how the cost needs to be fixed...

MONEY DOES NOT WIN RACES.. LOOK AT BOBBY SANTOS, TANYA MENTGEN, BRIEN OLSEN.

I am not saying that motors are not important, BUT to win a race you must have a car that can run the entire distance. That doesnt come from money. That comes from maintenance and hard work in the race shop. After every race tearing the cars down cleaning them up, going over them with a fine tooth coumb to make sure all parts are in good condition.. Cleaning parts up and regreasing them..
Your car has to handle well too. A car set-up good can out perform a car with an expensive motor.. If you can drive your deeper into a corner, harder through the corner, and on the throttle earlier coming off, you will beat the so called expensive motors.. THE FASTEST CAR DOES NOT ALWAYS WIN THE RACE..

You want to get rid of the tire monopoly..OK. So lets say we bring american racer in and they give tires away.. people are still going to buy "PURPLE LABELS" because they want to run up front.. Maybe there is a reson why they are more expensive.. Tire testing, changing tires to make them better, the telemetry they put on the race cars at the tire test... Oh yea wait.. All that crap is free... i for got that..

Bob East might have backing and sponsorship... But has he always?? NO!!! How did he get sponsorship? Because he spent his life complaining about how expensive everything is and getting on a message board bashing everybody... I know if I had a multi million dollar company I am going to go online and find someone who spends there life saying things are too expensive.. I want them to represent my company on a national level.. NO.. Bob worked his @$$ off to win races and to get sponsorships... Still with the sponsorships you can find his crew members in the shop taking not the most expensive parts and doing the grunt work to lighten those parts to make them as affective if not more affective than the high dollar parts..
