  1. Friday night was a fun night. And when the 17 moved up the track it was all over with. Nobody really followed him. The 49 and the 83 stayed down to the middle and bottom while the 17 was hauling the mail up on the cushion.
  2. It was a good night last night. When the 17 moved up off the bottom he immediately took off and went to the front. Something happened after the race as well. I hope they are ok.
  3. In my point of view, you are missing the trade off. The things that you would like to do to bring in a younger fan base, i.e newer style cars with current technology. Would be great for that younger generation. But for guys my age, 55, I could watch it due to the fact that I am a race fan first, but it certainly is not my preference. So guys your age, which is younger, you grew up with that style of car and technology, you can work on them, and I am sure it comes natural to you because you grew up with electronic devises. Guys like me wouldn't be able to find the button to turn the computer on. That matters to people. The front wheel drive eco stock class that you see at HMP and at these dirt tracks now are fun to watch, but I can assure you that is not what drew me to that event. I hope to be at the World of Outlaws race at Cotton Bowl in a couple of weeks. Tell me how that class has not only survived, but thrived year after year after year? There has been some evolution, but it is largely the same as it was many years ago. There is a balance out there that works. Some tracks find it, many others don't.
  4. Congratulations, has to be a proud moment for you and your family.

    hello

    I am in the Houston area, and it’s been rough here as well. Long stretches without power. But this to shall pass. Hoping for good weather for the World of Outlaws show at Cotton Bowl next weekend.
  6. I to hope everyone had a Merry Christmas. And also grateful for this site. My social media presence is very limited. I get the majority of racing info from right here.
  7. Thanks, I think maybe the last 20 laps or so he dropped of pretty good. Or maybe he was in that last lap mele.
  8. The scoring tower won last night, we'll see if the tech shed wins today. I didn't see where Ryan finished, he ran around the 5th or 6th spot for most of the race but I think he may have faded at the end.
  9. They just sent Nasse to the rear for turning Pollard
  10. That would be awesome, he lives a couple of blocks from me.
  11. What about the modifieds tomorrow night, any of the HMP Texas guys going to be in that race?
  12. Yes, he was awful strong for sure. I think there was a 12 year old kid in the field as well.
  13. I watched it on ppv speed 51 out here offshore. I also followed it on Race Monitor timing. It shows Heil 2nd, Monroe 9th a lap down, and Wright 12th a lap down.
  14. Good stuff, pretty good showing for the Texas guys. The kid that won is 14, incredible.
  15. I am watching on speed 51, the 96 is looking good so far.
  16. Are any of the Texas guys over at Five Flags for the truck race tonight?
  17. Amen, nascar cup series is the highest form of stock car racing there is, on asphalt, like it or not. And that is where it needs to stay, is on asphalt.
  18. Bummer, I'm not due to get in from offshore until around the 15th. And my truck is in Mobile AL. I did renew my World of Outlaw tickets for Cotton Bowl today. Now just hope I can make that.
  19. This is good stuff here. I had a credit on the World of Outlaws from last year. And went ahead and picked up tickets for the 2nd night as well.
  20. Wish I was able to make it down there this year Arob. Offshore again. I did make it to the Texas Grand weekend up in Cleveland.
  21. 2 shows at CB. I think I still have tickets from this years cancellation.
  22. I listened to this this morning. All very relevant stuff. Although I would say that much of it applies to any year. But the promoters collectively have had an enormous challenge this year in particular. So cudos to all that have been able to pull off this season for sure. I hope that each and every one of them not only survived, but also thrive in the coming years.
