Nice clip...The only thing i would have liked to have shown was how Robert Bulldozer (sp?) got to where he was. I'm referring to when he spun Cone about half way through the race and when he pulled a suicide slide on cummins with 3 or 4 to go. The only reason multiple cars werent trashed on that move was because Cummins let off to keep them both on all fours. I guess Ballou is going to have to get taken out a few more times before he realizes its no fun. He's an excellent driver and obviously fearless, but use your head kid! Keep up the good work Chris.

I guess thats supposed to be subjective with a Cummins Pic on your name
He was around him and around him fully IMHO, Cummins had the option of diamonding and going back under him. If its not Robert, Its Levi, Hockett or someone else going to do it.

Tell me they don't do this a hundred times a night at Haubstadt?
BTW, Heres two racers throwing slides the whole race and neither went upside down

Charles, I respect your opinion...but I think you are mistaken on this one. They were driver to driver when cummins got pinned between Ballou and the wall. I agree slidejobs are a part of racing...and they are a beautiful sight when done correctly. BUT, that was a bonzai move and it was stated in another post by a different poster that if cummins hadn't lifted atleast his car would have been in multiple pieces. I just know that the 3c team doesnt necessarily have the funds to tear up a race car and put a whole new one back together.

That was me who posted that. I'll agree it was a wicked move. I don't condone it but Kyle could have done the same thing in which Robert would have had to lift. Not saying he would.

BTW, Kyle looked good Sat night.

LOL you also have a cummins avatar so I don't know if that would be looked at as "neutral". But I know Kyle could have made that move, but he doesn't drive that way because he knows the value of equipment and in his case, a torn up racecar may mean not being able to race for a week or two. As far as him looking good, he seems pretty pumped about the new things they are trying with the car. He has only been out twice and was fast last week at Tri-state just jumped the cushion late in the race and again at Florence. I told him if he keeps driving like he is, the wins will come. See everyone at The Action Track Thursday and The Class Track SUnday

I was at Florence and seen the bonehead moves by Ballou. He was driving like Kevin Swindell, if he can't pass you, he will just knock you off the track.
