  1. And that’s why we love ❤️ you Nick. I’d like to have 1/4 of what you “supposedly” lost and I’d be about 50% of your knowledge and talent (maybe)
  2. Does anyone know what happened to Tim Yonn who had the Wick Fowlers #12 Chili car Buick? He and David Umschied used to hang out together and then Buck Butgerite (spelling?) bought it and then Dave Cooke bought it. Believe it or not we were eating chili the other night and reminded me of this
  3. He’s running 8th in practice today and AWS is in 9th—-Good luck to these guys!!
  4. Too much left side weight....take off 10-12 animals and balance it again......you're welcome
  5. That Chasco Logo has been around forever, Premier Minerals logo too.....MANY wins have been viewed by this writer, I wish Bayley good luck this Saturday and great Interview Rodney, good job!!!
  6. So Rodney does that mean poorly attended? How many people do you estimate attended?
  7. I was at the race and sat 4 rows from the fence just before the start finish line. VERY INTENSE race for sure and alot of cars torn up. The wreck that Larson was in happened in front of us and a piece of his RF fender got torn off and floated straight up and over the catch fence and landed on the path nearest the fence. I only knew because I watched it the whole way up and down so I wouldn't get hit by it. The security guard watching the path by the fence casually picked it up and put it on the stairwell. Of course a guy in the bottom row snagged it for his own. Most exciting race I've ever witnessed as a fan and been going to races 40 years.
  8. Took some vids and pictures at the race yesterday. At least 100K in attendance and very exciting to watch IMG_8779.MOV IMG_8780.MOV IMG_8784.MOV
  9. Yes Rodney, It worked and thanks for linking it up for us to watch.....lets see how/if he does it again in Fontana. LOL
  10. I'd like to see the interviews with Kesilowski explaining those 2 wrecks he caused but all the racing was good...especially the last 10-15 laps of all the races and please leave Tony Stewart on for the ENTIRE season
  11. Big Car Counts......I listened to intro's and went to about the 16 minute mark
  12. Listened to the whole show ...Theresa is the real deal. I recall her going to the trailer to loan me her sun screen and she was about 8 months pregnant . Always willing to help out and the nicest lady ever out there. I think you and Bobby forgot one of the females that drove at Longhorn and THR for a LONG time....That would be Kris Wilson. One night she came over with David Umshied to Dave Cookes garage to set up the car better she had...everyone helped her out and she used that knowledge well Great show Rodney and Bobby and keep up the great work!!! You guys are excellent
  13. I don't know if I liked the race or the announcer more.....lots of action here
  14. IMO he (David Ragan) must be really strapped for cash...whats everyone else's opinion? https://nascar.nbcsports.com/2022/01/12/david-ragan-to-run-daytona-500-for-rick-ware-racing/
  15. they need to attend one of your suspension seminars so you can sell them a book or two and get some of your $$ back
  16. I remember him well, if not mistaken he was the first guy I saw at Thunderhill with a Nascar like toolbox, very cool. Him and that guy out of Houston who drove the bright yellow #6 car in ROMCO series(Think his name was Doug Lege?) I just got done listening to Bobby Joe New and it was excellent. I was standing next to Papa New in the spectator stands in the pits next to the fence and saw Bobby Joe stop his car and get out and throw the steering wheel. Papa was holding a coke can and smashed it into the chain link fence, He then picked up the can and smashed it again and it went thru the fence and onto the track...funniest thing I ever saw him do. He was HOT is an understatement. And yes they did drive the car to Southside Jeep back home some times north on 183, I watched it leave. Dave Cooke used to "test" his car around the 3M plant on 2222 and then drive it back to the shop on Saturday mornings, we used walkie talkies and headsets because I'd be his lookout . Good Times Thanks again Rodney for digging this up from your archives for me and Happy Holidays to you and Family as well!!
  17. You have a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year yourself Mr Hi-Tech and Family
  18. I do too....I recall in the early 90's you had a choice of red or green fuel and we used green ($5.00 a gallon) if not mistaken. I can smell it right now and Sunday mornings I had a headache when I woke up from it. So many memories and good ones too from there. Stands were packed and everyone had a good time. Thanks for the Bobby Joe interview, I completely missed that one. Thought I had heard them all. guess not.
  19. Great Interview, I'd never heard Terry talk so much but it was great and brought back big memories for me. I recall his biggest rivalries were with Stormin' Steve but IMO the bigger one was with Ralph and Calvin Cantwell, some escalated to the extreme at times. Memories at Longhorn were parking next to Bobby Joe New and Junior in the 5 were next to the News. I can recall Keith Sandefur was sponsored one season by Louise Epstein who was running for Austin City Council. Can recall local TV and radio personalities racing one night, Bama Brown stands out. He drove Shawn Grimlands car if not mistaken. Shawn (RIP) used to bring the girls from the Red Rose and the bouncer to the races and a couple of years sponsored the fireworks at 4th of July...great times. I crew chiefed for Dave Cooke (RIP) in the 7 car we affectionately called "Cupcake" since Dave won like 14 races in 1993 if memory serves me. Our competition was Bobby Joe, Jimmy Meredith, Ron Chambers, Larry Houston and probably more I'm forgetting. My heroes who I always enjoyed talking with were Luther New and Junior Medlock. Those guys enriched my life and filled me in on a ton of stories and backstories. Thanks Rodney and Bobby for doing this interview....I'm glad I finally found the time to listen to this! You guys should try and get Bobby Joe to come on the show.

    Wow....you folks are INCREDIBLE......Tis the season for humans to help humans . GREAT JOB!!!
  21. Thanks Rodney for the updates! We appreciate your efforts. Question, Casey Smith was entered in the Snowball and Greg Davidson was entered in the Outlaws. Did they not show or did they fail to qualify? Asking for a friend LOL 😂
  22. Thank you Rodney and Bobby, I enjoy your show, guest, expert insight. Always enjoy the dialogue and history!
  23. I used to say it was good night at the track when we put the car on the trailer with the front end forward rather than put on backwards by the wrecker.
  24. That is stepping up for sure!!!! Great News!!!
