I vote for PAS. It would make visiting my "outlaws" easier for the Thanksgiving weekend. The track is relatively close to thier house. While I love Ventura, it would seem that their curfew and early start time might be a limiting factor.

Any for what it matters, I consider dogging a driver because he has a rich parent. To be totally classless and petty. It might be a little easier to get the equipment necessary but if you want it bad enough, So can you.

JS. DD, Gordon, Saldana and the like certainly didn't start in top equipment but are among the best today and still could podium with a *******.

The " real racer" comment was TOTALLY uncalled for and way off base. Look at the lineup competing at Turkey Night every year...Tough competition, and a real racer wins EVERY YEAR. Quit being the judge of "real racers." It doesn't suit you well.

Actually Chuck, if you are referring to Jeff Gordon, he did. Bickford's stuff was definitely top equipment. Eric Gordon on the other hand started at the "Burg" in a less than competitive car and made some great accomlishments too. I remember the first time Jeff ran the "Burg" at the Hoosier Fall in Butch and Janie Smith #47x, which was a backup car to Kelly Kinser and Eric used to drive an old beat up looking #65G car. Man those were the days!

See you at the "Burg" in a couple of months!

For all you friends & cronies of "rich" kids, tell me Armstrong's brother is better than Bryan Clausen. How did he get the ride in the truck series instead of Clausen??

Unfortunately money means alot more than talent does, but dirt levels the playing field for talent.


Dude what are you thinking? I know in a previous post that you complained about your kid racing with people who have money but now your going to complain about Armstrong having money and the kid doesn't have talent? WOW i mean he did run second at Milwaukee, won Iowa and turkey night made the show at the bowl? You really know what your talking about don't u.

Then for the Brother deal? I'm pretty sure its his cousin.

Also calusen went to Nascar land and came back and now he is getting a chance in a different direction so why would he go run a truck? Come on man he is getting a chance to run in the 500 why pass up that????

So btw who are you???

Wow. It is worse than I thought. When you start tearing the place down, it rarely ever comes back up.

I was at Ascot Park in 1989 and then we hit El Centro which was cool!
Ventura would be neat. Ascot Park land still sitting there. Reopen that
awesome facility for Turkey Night. Turkey Night in 1989 is something I'll
never forget.

Best Regards,
John
