I would rather be able to call you out on your BS rather than ignoring your posts that way no other impressionable souls fall victim to you.

I notice your afraid to show your face.
If you are who I think you are you are the last person to point a finger at anyone, and now I understand the issue with my brother, and no he speaks for himself.
Living in indiana, I had some of the furthest travels in our club.
And just because I work 7 days a week doesn't mean I don't have time to keep an eye on a sport I'm passionate about.
And yes on other boards there was bashing of integrity towards the IRS.
And yes I did on other sites post my thoughts with what happened in the badger series.
Outlawing your champion doesn't look good from the outside, especially when there is a way not to ban thier equipment.

#51 Anderson, national engine, not D2 compliant
#54t Teer, 2.0L honda, not D2 compliant
#27 myself, 2.0L honda not D2 compliant
#77 myself VW not D2 compliant
#21 mayhew, badger K2.4L not D2 compliant
#21A Shreffler ford not D2 compliant
#5 Murphy badger Chevy not D2 compliant
#5d Dragmisters, 3 different cars, national quad 4 and honda, not D2 compliant
#53 Shuck Badger Chevy not D2 compliant
#6 was to be Borman K24A4 not D2 compliant
#17 had 2 drivers, Built 2.2 chevy nor
D2 compliant.

I never claimed to have built or took credit for the success of The IRS.
I said I was one of the guys who supported the series week in and week out so guys like you had a place to race and create your business.
So if this is Mr MWR you obviously have an agenda to sell chevys.
But like I said a man in your position might want to keep his mouth shut, for a number of reasons.
Truth always has a way of coming out in the end.
Just because you were at the meeting doesn't make you special.
Not to many people believe the fluff you dish out.

Can't wait for our first face to face meeting, please come looking for me. You say you don't know me or my brother, but you sure do talk a lot of smack about both of us, you knew he retired and he speaks for both of us.
Funny stuff.
You also know alot of info about a club you never competed in.
Yet you twist facts to make your point look better to others.
Im done correcting your misinformed information about the cars in IRS.
Good luck in 16, hope it works out for you guys.
And yes $50 start money was released, HTF would I know that if it wasnt?
Don't hide behind the truth.

Ridiculous message board whining/moaning aside, I urge the people that are interested in going D2 racing to carry on with that plan... Especially in the Illinois area (not to mention Indiana and Florida), there is going to be a ton opportunities between POWRi/ILLINI and IMRA/USAC!! It's going to be a good deal, besides what any of the message board genius's have to say.

A lot of good people put a lot of work into this, and again, besides what the message board peeps say, there was no special interest involved. EVERYONE is working for the betterment of the sport for the fans, drivers, owners, and promoters!

We will keep working and researching putting the best product possible on the track.

I think LaVerne Spencer said it best a long time ago: Winning with talent, not money.


We will do our best to live by that motto.
There are some that say this won't compete with that, and that will be faster than the other... Well before the cars have hit the track. My personal opinion is (in other words just speaking for myself) that we are not looking for any particular engine to have an advantage (kind of along the lines of the old Focus deal).

Even though it can't be stopped, I am hoping (stupid, I know) for a series that nobody has a mechanical advantage. We want drivers to win with talent, and owners/mechanics to win with set up.... There already is a series that people can research, and/or spend their way to a mechanical advantage. It called National Midgets... Or hiring Keith Kunz.

Can this be achieved? It's going to be tough. But if we get enough people on the same agenda, that see the possibilities of fantastic close racing, and having fun (remember that part?).
Bringing in new people to the sport learning the mechanics of making a car work without just adding horsepower. New drivers learning to race in close competition, as well as veterans out having a good time (while helping the newbies), it can be nothing but good for all!!

I know, pipedream. But it doesn't hurt to try!

PM if you have any questions. Thanks

It just dawned on me crankn who you really are.
It's funny you pull the post off here that had your name attached to it.
Say something you shouldn't have?
I'll admit making mistakes, like thinking you were mwr, or overlooking the quad 4 eligibility.
But nothing else I said was inaccurate.
The national cars you dismiss we not dismissed by the IRS.

As far as agendas go, why don't you come out here n tell everyone about the letter you sent the IRS?
Yea no chest pounding there, no bashing there either.
Tell everyone the excellent job you did with the focus series, a series started after the IRS, and vanished long before the IRS.
Tell everyone the dollar amount you asked for for your services? A job that was done for 24 years with a free pit pass.
Yep no agenda there.
Tell everyone how you think a series can't survive on a dot tire, but did for 24 years.
And why is that?
Safety?
Integrity?
Or someone needs to sell tires?

I heard exactly what Mr. Kenny Brown told Laverne 2 years ago at sun prairie, I was standing there.
"Don't change a thing you guys are doing, especially the tires"


So don't come out here and try to sell your bull crap to the public, cause I'm not buying it you lieing fool.
Like I said don't hide behind the truth, it always has a way of coming out.

Sigh.
A prime example of you cant fix stupid. Or paranoia either.
I pulled my posts because anybody with any intelligence can see what a fool you are.

What part of LaVerne, as well as another IRS board member were just a big a part of this, as everyone else, can you not comprehend???

Seems to me, you should be whining to them, not me.

Oh wait, i know, it was all a big deceitful conspiracy performed by little ole me. . What a joke.

As far as the focus thing (here i go gettin sucked in again), that statement paints the clearest picture of all on how truly out of touch you are.
I got sucked into your constant bashing of D2, and found myself posting things on your level.
Didn't matter though, you just kept, and keep living in your little "everything is a conspiracy world". ... And keep posting things for which you know absolutely nothing about.... Even though you think you do.

So please just get a life, get a hobby, and take up your completely lame arguments on how somehow, D2 managed to obsolete your VW.
News flash: other than indoors the VW powered midget has been obsolete for decades (no disrespect intended to any VW owners). And your argument that running all the different engines with restrictors has waned in popularity. Not an opinion, just fact based on dwindling car counts in IRS.
Not sure how else to spell it out for you, and it's obvious there is no getting through to you either.

So i will get back to all my hidden agendas, and reap the fortunes that all my evil plans will bring, from D2 midget racing.
Merry fu^*in Christmas

I suppose now would not be a good time to bring up a plane crank D2 engine, right! Thanks! Bob

I'm done with all this salesman talk.

If you want to talk about it face to face Im right up the road from you at drivetime 40th and Lafayette road loading an orange semi with my name on the door, if that doesn't work, I'm down here Monday wensday Friday everyweek.

D2 Concept is fine, good idea, get everyone on the same page, but it could have been done so no car was banned, my only point to all this nonsense period. End of story.
