  1. i know this is going to hurt someones feelings . i know everyone missed my outstanding spelling .outstanding thoughtful smart answers i gave and those moments when u think huh .. what he say .. i have been following subjects here all along while i was out . and man not once did any of u make it a point out loud to ask where the heck am i where was the love .. i know alot of my fans are staying in the closet wont step forward in todays world . social media is dangerous and would not love a front door full of protesters for admiting they love me . cant blame them on that point .. so i will settle with knowing i am famous in my own mind and loved by many ..that is. LOVE TO KILL ME .. my old boss always finished off the i love u with that statement /i never figured out why he was so kind to me must be a common sense issue .... anyway guys its good to be back ..i would say nick edited me out but that woild be a lie .. i had to replace my old computor it went to .well u know ... clapping is aloud and getting drunk useing ,me with the wife as an excuse to party is not advised .. dont want the wife mad at me . but if u do have a nice hangover / put the lime im the coconut . BTW .NICK CALLED ME TODAY ..I DIDNT ANSWER AT FIRST my hands were full no room for my phone perfect timing from nick .. i bet he said ding dong the wizzards gone . then nightmare return call came back at him .. . whata i do whata i do .. i said if i was dead my wife would leave . great scott mike is gone so dont call back go have a drink and be happy. .... getting drunk
  2. you mentioned mini stocks . remember steve bobby pops and i built alot of those cars without pay without costing alot for those rookies like 13 back to back . . all the while talking to those same drivers the whats and nots to do .. even though you and i very seldon get behind the wheel anymore we never forgot how to race .. saturday morning i met a second time around driver in the elevator . from san antonio he rented a legend car ... running his second ever race .. ... you have seen the glow a rookie puts out .. but also dangerous glow .. lost in space ... i gave him some major advice with out his asking he did not know i use to drive .. till i said so and how many years i have been working on cars and such .. the biggest thing i told him was keep it between the lines do not drive past his paycheck do not wreck someone and pay attention to the flags ..and do noit move up or down with the leaders go to pass you .. the leaders have seen where u are racing long before they get to u .stay there .. ... just a few on the list i mentioned to him .. i hope it helped him .. always always talk to a rookie .i do .. you are not just teaching that person . when also it can save your car form being destroyed .. ..
  3. just to come to listen to you is worth it rod .. tell u dirt trackers it was fun .. used tires were not an issue . we still have three of the tires on the car that can race again ..the right front blistered becuase of two things .. camber and to low tire pressure that was on me .. the track gave us from 3 pm to 9 pm to work the cars in /... u do not have to destroy your car to race that track .. . .we changed springs that most dirt cars have on them already .. . we did not add or take any weight out of the car fact it helped leaving it ..we had no more stagger or less than what we run on dirt . what the average tires come out too .. we took only six . with us .. ... practiced and ran on the same four we sarted out with .. other than the right front as i mentioned we can run the same tires again .no fall off ..
  4. First time in years didnt have to wash the car dust off the jeans clean the tools .lol..blow out the trailer ..eating your food with out that added crunch /
  5. MISSED the camber setup alittle .and maybe just a tad to low on tire pressure for the feature been awhile setting up for pavement leaned really hard on the right front . car stuck like glue fact to good it put more strain on the motor bogging it down.off the turns three year old motor . ... i needed to free it up just a tad like practice friday when it realy came off the turns with more speed . ..in the track to hard binding up the car sorta speek .. . . reminded me when our dirt track gets tacky on those ten inch tires really loads the cars down . scrubs alot of speed off and u see alot of hot motors during and after the race ..alot of rear bight on that car left side was right on the rules ... rear percent was close. loved the spring set up ...if we make it back for october i will need to work that right front camber issue out .. and give the motor some love .other wise we had a great time brought back a ton of memories cost a few bucks saw some old friends just a blast from the past after nearly 7 years of farm racing ..hope we can get back in october .. .AND it was nice to make a rear gear change aka whole rear end with out muddeling in dirt .. .sorta look clean when we were done ..
  6. if u see a blured pic it was most likely me ruining the shot .. yeps got to see all those wheel standers run .. i like that tank on wheels ..
  7. No one got jurt arob .. is that good enough .we finished second lol ... SAY ROD what was tom cruise real name .. we all had fun with your choice of name ..first time i really sat close enough to hear you do your best .. no one is bored when your mouth is running WILD .TOP GUN U ARE ... left houston at 530 am got home at 10 am . ID SAY THAT IS A REALY NICE RACETRACK .. WAS great after what 7 years on dirt changing the car to run there was different .. different not going home covered in dirt . seeing some of our old tps old men still racing .. WE finished second omn trhe mixed class factory stock .. MOTOR laid down on us in the feature and i missed the camber angle in the and air pressure for the longer run .lucky one more lap in the feature could have put the car in the wall . peeled like a banana never seen that before . but i know the reason why ..he had to slow down the last three or four laps from viberation ... but we have some good notes for if we maje the next one .. got to convince the three year old motor we need just a tad more power from it .. pick up the slack just once more this year .. give that 12 car some company ..as for those factory stocks who did not or could not make it this round .. u missed out it was fun it was worth the run .load in october and bring them out .. .. ..
  8. wet tracks on slicks make it touchy .. so nothing new for dirt racers ..the problem i am afraid of is losing grip during the later stage of the race .. i do not know that track at all never been there or seen a race there .. jesse has and i wont say it on here but racing that track like u do at another track we know of works great .. i hope the car is a tad lose early and comes on from half way on .. but that race is short and might be having to run hard .. who knows i dont .. i will be doing alot of tire temp readings .
  9. DROVE BY cc yesterday looks like a salvage yard / nothing going on ..
  10. just luck of the draw on tires rob .. .. . i think the futher south in texas the tires are not as good .. when so many buy them all over the place up north and east . the pic of the best litter does not make down here as much .. we have a set of used tires for houston .. all were ran but some look like maybe end of race or practice ..stagger isnt all that great but it is what it is .. . being its been a while running on paved we do not know how the car will handle there .. these cars were not built for it .. all the flexing off sets and so on shocks and sway bars will put u through the test .. and with so little extra tires we dont have .. ur best hope the car is decent and can adjust it fast with out using up those tires u will need for the feature ,, i dont know how many dirt drivers have raced on paved but i would say the biggest part of them have .. lucky for us we have many many years .. and the driver knows what not to do ..plus he raced there a time or two along time ago .., the car is the unknown //either way we plan to have fun burning those tires up most wont be any good for dirt i bet after . .. . when i built a car for me back in the day it took me two years .. when asked all the time is it a SHOW CAR OR RACECAR... i said no matter what it will look good doing what ever i do with it .. look good sitting there .look good winning . look good wrecking or look good dead last but it will look good ..period .. and we plan on having fun no matter
  11. SOMETHING about talladega just catches my fancy more than daytona .. yet more goes on during the week leading up to the daytona 500 .. may have to just flip a coin
  12. with it just being the wife and i joshua is getting married in november and had moved out a few years ago . sold all the racing stuff and no baseball to finance , every two years the wife and i take a long trip out of state .. ... now i havet to decide where to go on our next vacation ..maybe main lol .. pick a time when nick is up there that would put a dampner on his trip .. so help me put out should we go to daytona or the big track in alabama
  13. STOP GOING AFTER 2002.. the cost was way to much .did not get to see the race that weekend rained out and moved to monday my contract with fed ex ground was not going to let me stay i had no one to run my route . 1400 bucks and nothing to show for it all weekend .hanging out in the malls with 7 poeple ..nothing else to do and i hate malls ..have no plans ot go back cheaper to stay home .. it was fun but took alot out of u having to come home after the race . our jobs were more important and all the kids had school .. .
  14. who said that //u do not know me . that go cart on steroid .. but i promise youone thing you can be my guinea pig if u like ... . just over 650 to 700 hp ..u can handle that right say u can buddy . everyone thumbs up for radical make him earn that name .its going to be one hell of a radical ride .. ill sell tickets to pay for his FUNERAL .. sorry world record trophy i meant .......... actually we have it bolted down on the back of a 18 foot rogers jet boat .. the msd system . =we talked about changing over . i know there are some drag racers out there that just may have one ..really do not want to spend the big bucks on a new one for this motor right now we just went through the motor and added those brodix ..not to shabby 13to 1 688 roller and a few extras .....next year after haveing the 19 foot rogers redone . looking at maybe a skip white 632 1000 hp or more . . i dont why the boat now is hittng 85 .at 6000 rpm . could push the motor over that and maybe hit another ten to that 85 .. biggest issue i have with this .u get your feet wet .. and i do not have tires and springs with work with .. we did make a wieght adustment . 40 pounds of sand on the pasenger side for when he has no one riding with him .. .i suppose nicks class did some good somewhere .. we did add mount kz1000 motor back in 1976 onto a go cart frame .charley and i drove it once .decided to live longer .
  15. BEING I LIVE here .. i would not even consider giving a penny .. so much has been destroyed .. w most everything would to be repaired or rebuilt .. i spent all my life around that track from 1961 . a few years i was working to much mid 70s to 1981 .. . i worked on and at that track starting in 1971 . road our bikes around that track many times . so i have tons of memories .. i dont think its worth it ... and anyone hwo is setting up a go fund me does not have all thiers screws tightend .. .lets say it happened .. u have to build cars .. not many cars left most all turned into dirt cars or junked out .
  16. +must have been DRINKING red bull . its true if gives u wings .. u would think nascar would have gave thought what would happen just in case something like this could and would happen ..
  17. UGLY WRECK .. i would not matter how the cars are built flying in the air and flipping can not be stopped . ..going to happen somewhere . glad he got out . havent heard about any injuries ....
  18. what we have is pull offs ,, and that is what will be on the car .. be insane to ask this class to come to this track having to buy a different set of tires to race there self defeating .. ....... this was mentioned last season if it happened nothing will change just bring the car as it is and go for it .. .. looking forward being there having some fun ..
  19. THE 7 car has not race all season ..the owner has been doing some other things . needed done .. . .but the timing of this race fits right in .. just freshened the motor up today ,first time working on this car sense last season .. .. being old paved racers we are excited for the first time this year to put the car on the track .... .. . jessie and i talked about setting the car up for houston .. i think we have what we need ... least of all it would be fun to burn some rubber see some heat built up on those slicks that helps the tires stick .. heating them up on dirt isnt all that great when dirt is going stick to them .
  20. i was right for a change lol .. when u add owens at your track who runs two dirt tracks it isnt hard to bet against it happening .. that class in one the biggest around .. and we know many many drivers have raced at cc speedway kyle sas .snow ball dirby // and the like ... the class is on slicks .so why not .. being many of us have ran on slicks for years before we went to dirt is a plus against those who only ran those tires on dirt .. when we went to slicks we got some funny looks from drivers who saw us checking tire temps ...... . ... .. i think it would be a fun night for the drivers and the fans .. way to go hmp
