    Dirt cross over? My pick would be the Factory Stocks. Why? Watching those guys on dirt is pretty awesome. Don't change the cars - just bring them out.

    With respect to my cars, I have either two Super Stocks, or two Pro Stocks. But, the 55 WILL change. I'll change the UCA mounting points and put a third link in it and that will be that. The motor will eventually get set back to #1. What does that make it then? Right now, I like the Super Stock class; wish there were more cars though. Last race there were 8, but some had problems. When you're out there driving it's very different! It really reminds me of running the Pro Stocks back in the day. I would get my butt kicked just about every week and then we started getting a little quicker each time out. Then, next thing you know we were bringing home trophies! The time differential now is really no different than the Pro Stocks back in the day. If i recall correctly, the time differential was over a second.

    You'll win some for that trophy room soon bud.  Keep it up.

    A good factory stock cost about 12,000 to get built. Plus engines. 

    $12,000 to go 50 mph down the straights?  Those boys are getting ripped off.

     

    The bicycles at SAS were a hit.  Very affordable, probably $125 or so turnkey (or pedal ready I guess) with slime filled tires so no flats.  Just a thought.

     

  2. This is awesome.  It seems the only guy on here with real sense is always ganged up on by the regulars.  Rock on Timmy.

    Chastain won again this past weekend and passed tech.  They must have gotten ahold of some of them lowrider hydraulics to pick the truck up after the race.  He used a junker to beat the spoon-fed boys in them KBM trucks.

  3. Bring back the 18 speed bicycles that ran at SAS back in the day.  Those things are pretty cheap, can pick them up at Walmart for $100.  $50 if you catch a good sale.  Would probably need to run 30 heat races and who knows how many B mains with all the guys that would show up.  Tires would last 10 seasons pumped full of fix-a-flat.  Put rattles on the spokes so they sound cool.  Just eat your Wheaties and you're good to go.  Give larger fellas a head start of a few laps since they're at a disadvantage.  Maybe add a tricycle class for the kiddos and a motorized scooter class for gramps. 

    Seriously, bracket racing?  Like index classes?  I can hear the announcer now...… "Here comes the 15.00-15.99 second class rolling onto the track. Keep an eye on Fast Frank, he broke out last week and got DQ'ed for running a 14.99!" or "Batten down the hatches folks, here comes the 24.00+ second guys, they tour this 3/8 oval at an astounding top speed of 48 MPH!"
