Sarge Posted September 1, 2004 Report Share Posted September 1, 2004 Wow! Don't know when you will EVER see something like this again. The two drivers One and Two in points this late in the year, racing a weekly show, head to head. I can't wait! Don't count out some of the other regulars in the IMCA Mods, guys like Elias Anderson, Lawrence Mike-len-check (It's how I write it on the cards), both Witeakers, which ever Egberts show up, Nicky Hardcastle and a bunch of others. I wonder if this will birng even more of the Texas Big Guns to I-37? Maybe they want to see how they stack up to Murray. After all, he is the defending National Champion. Holy Smokes! Is it Friday yet? Bill "Sarge" Masom Hardest working race announcer in Texas! Have microphone, will travel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too bad I have to open Sat morning." Jason: The race involving the IMCA National points leader - David Murray Jr vs the IMCA, 2nd ranked driver in National points - Henry Witt vs most of the best IMCA Modified drivers in Texas is taking place at I-37 Speedway ON FRIDAY NIGHT at 8:30pm. You should be able to return home in plenty of time to get some sleep and "open Sat morning". Since you are the owner of TexasSpeedZone.com - I am placing your name on the media credentials list at the I-37 Speedway pit gate. Saturday, I am also placing your name on the TPS media credentials list at the CCMS pit gate. Hope to meet you at CCMS. Thanks for providing TSZ to the racing public.

In view of the new and improved anti-bashing policy, I'll just edit myself. With all the expletives removed, all I can say is; Jason, you were the only smart one. You didn't spend any money on gas or tickets for the much anticipated Murray (no show)/ Witt duel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarge Posted September 4, 2004 Report Share Posted September 4, 2004 hray, Can I ask you a question? How is this I-37's fault? The Murray's contacted I-37. He said he was going to be there. It appears that he didn't live up to what he said he was going to do. How is that I-37's fault? I was just as disappointed as anyone else, but to call the night a waste of gas and ticket money is being disingenuous. We had 26 mods signed in and it was an awesome race. And the LLM race between Howie Marx in the 13 and Chris Swenson in the 48 was as good as any race is going to get. Jimmy Phillips and Lawrence Mikulencak put on a great side by side race until Mikulencak broke. Again, I understand being disappointed by Murray's no show, but I don't see how you can be disappointed in the races that were ran. The track was smooth and fast, the mods were flying out there, with two grooves to take advantage of. Bill "Sarge" Masom Hardest working race announcer in Texas! Have microphone, will travel.

Guest The_Greek Posted September 4, 2004 Report Share Posted September 4, 2004 ill 2nd that Sarge, last night featured some great dirt racing, i was also a little disappointed that Murray didnt show, but with or without him it was definetly worth being there. i was extremely pleased with the track conditions last night vs a couple of weeks ago (sunday) when it was dusty as hell. it was cool to meet the hardest working announcer in Texas and may i add he has some good taste in music also, i will definetly be back.

hray Posted September 5, 2004 Report Share Posted September 5, 2004 hray, Can I ask you a question? How is this I-37's fault? Sarge, Can I ask you a question? From reading my post and without bringing any of your preconceived assumptions in to the discussion, why would you think I blame this on I-37? You guys are way too thin skinned.

Sarge Posted September 5, 2004 Report Share Posted September 5, 2004 hray, I am sorry if I mis read your post. But it sounded to me like you thought going to I-37 Friday night was a waste of time, money and gas. If I am wrong, then I apologize. But that what it sounded like to me. We all were disappointed in the Murray deal. But the mod race was still awesome! With or without Murray, or even Witt, it was a great race. The Greek, Good meeting you also. Maybe next time we will have more time to talk. Thanks for the kind words. Bill "Sarge" Masom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
