  1. Harvick didn’t lift whether or not Bad Brad was loose or not. He sure could have
  2. Nice car counts! Way to go HMS and all the participants
  3. I guess Harvick doesn’t lift either
  4. and there you have it....another festivus miracle! Joe says it when others won't. "How to kill a track with a negative post or text 101". Negative post get drama and attention...Positive Post get overlooked until the track closes. Then everyone can't figure it out because "it was such a great track".....key word is WAS. I work as a manager for a company and the employees who whine and complain about their jobs and the pay and the this and the that are the ones who will fight the most to keep their jobs when the reaper comes around and fires them. Its the same with racers...WHY??? Discuss that please!!! Would love to hear the answers, I'll bet others would too
  5. VP needs to pay the fines and settle any lawsuits brought forth and then switch it back to the original formula. Then they'll need to rebuild/regain the trust that has been lost. Just my .02
  6. Someone mentioned curved fencing.....this happened at Richmond a few years ago...you can't fix stupid Reb!
  7. True True True......ALL OF IT......Learn so much from this site!
  8. Great Show.....Bobby Joe was a legend. Watched Ronnie grow up. We pitted next to him (me and Dave Cooke) at Longhorn, Junior Medlock behind Bobby Joe in the panel truck and Shawn Grimland behind us. Lots of good times. Luther (Papa) always sat and talked to me and yes, they drove the car about a mile north to Southside Jeep after the race, Can confirm. I miss our times together on Saturday nights but stirred up great memories from hearing this. I remember when Bobby Joe first started Southside wrecker and had about 2 trucks. He worked for SW Bell before that as I recall. He built the business and they grew and grew. I guess Ronnie has it now. Jim Pallas built the #1 car for Ronnie and they used Joe White to build engines. Great times...Really enjoyed this one Bobby + Rodney...Thx
  9. Howdy Texas Tornado....Beg to differ, we aren't ganging up on Tim, merely having a discussion about shocks and what they cost (and what they do) We're somewhat perplexed and confused because we know what shocks do and simply disagree with what Tim says. Most of us are over the age of 60 (me) and been around long enough to know what they do. When our knowledge is questioned, we rely on smarter and more knowledgeable people than ourselves (Nick) and that's as nice as I can put it. I am simply fascinated at the technology and the cost of speed (as Josh42 states above). Please don't read into this as an attack on Tim, it isn't. We just won't be told that a duck dives under concrete when we know it flies. Stirring the pot on LSSZ will be challenged by facts...that's my attraction to this site
  10. Nick, could you enlighten us once more to what a "competitive" set of front shocks cost these days? You told me the number a couple of years ago and it was in the thousands if I'm not mistaken. I guess the $5.00 a piece ones I bought as a teenager at Sears (guaranteed for life) won't cut it anymore. One more thing after you tell us the price; Is it the engineering or the materials that make these shocks out of reach for most people?
  11. Who do we want it done to? At this moment I want it done to nobody but lets hear the others tell us differently
  12. The guy who moderates this site can explain it PERFECTLY I am absolutely 200% sure......
  13. These are some great car counts in all classes.....congrats to all
  14. You folks must have something in the water in Corpus ......you have some stellar folks to be proud of around there!
  15. I listened to this show last night and it was very good...a lot of old stories about racers and stuff from Longhorn and Thunderhill/CTS. Steve was one of the best...if Rodney will post the link, its definitely worth a listen!
  16. Nice event Josh42......man if I was a kid again that would be cool...wait, I am old now and its still cool!!! Way to go....
  17. I didn't know that either......Man that cat can goooooooooooooo
  18. I hope his equipment gets better/faster....he is carrying a What-a-Burger wrap on that car and it looks great but it runs mid pack back. IMO he has never run "the best of equipment" but he is experienced and capable of running in the Top 5 if he had top shelf stuff
  19. I agree with MetroRacer 200% on this one.....I believe he states that because info was released getting everyones hopes up and then they are dashed later...Its comparable to Christmas being on Dec 25 and Santa Claus did not show up with presents. Think how disappointed racers must be. I agree with this statement by MetroRacer as well.....sometimes racers and promoters can be their own worst enemy. A paper cut happens at 8am and due to gossip, changing the story with embellishment and perceived notions, the paper cut has become an amputated arm by 5PM. I have no idea what happens on "other sites" specifically Facebook since the company I work for has a specific company policy stating that bashing the company on social media sites is an offense that can lead to termination of employment so I chose not to even view it or be a member. Nicks comment I completely get and I can see why the guy with the dollars decided not to get involved. As stated previously on this site, someone told me over 15 years ago that social media bashing is what killed a 50 year old track I raced at as a kid. It did it in a mere 2 year period. We don't need to do this and again, Nick doesn't allow it anyway. In conclusion, I asked the question specifically to keep this track relevant and on everyone's mind because we are down to one (1) asphalt racetrack in the entire state and its very important that we not let this one get away. This is the only reason I brought it up. I am pretty sure that every person with a asphalt race car wants this track to be built, succeed and THRIVE for years to come.
  20. Thanks Mark for ALL that you do to keep our pardner Nick in business!!! We appreciate you more than we'll let onto.....a bunch of us (including me) only know that Shutdown/Restart is usually the cure for what ails us.
