HiTech

well it worked for number 9 the last restart .. but chase had  to know larson or anyone else  down there was going to go in deep  ....it wasnt a dirty move .it was racing and larson is their to win just like the rest  . chase would have done the same thing .. so good race , had  it done to me and i have done that to others .. what6s the old saying 8tires are better than four 

 SAD  .but like it was said he was doing what he loved . ..... RIP

This is an uplifting and remarkable story here. Also, if you don't blink you can see our own Rodney announcing the race

Agreed , HiTech. I haven't seen a good fight at a race track since the mid-80's. I guess that is a good thing. I heard a promoter once said if you are going to fight do it where the fans can see.

WELL  now you can get charged with a crime .. 

Tame  fight compared to the 50 60 and 70s .. .  .if u tried to stop it  may as well give or take a punch or pick something up   to use .. fans in the stands loved it ..

I enjoy doing them. Hopefully when the homestead calms down a bit, I can travel to a few other tracks and write them there too unless Reb's there, then I defer. After watching those Micros, I need to make a trip to Alvin at some point and of course Edna, I37, and Cotton Bowl are all within 3 hours from me.

NA$CAR hadn't had a "full dq" since 1960 according to news releases coming out about the JGR scandal.....Poor Emanual Zakarius and his 1/2 gal oversize fuel cell.

That's good, glad he had a good time. Guess we need to send him up the progression. Find a 360 Sprint race nearby and then a WoO 410. SUS puts on a good show, especially for 305s. Those Harris Brothers were flying, Townsend up to third after being run over in his heat race. Owen had a good interview with him post race too. Speaking of media presence, have to thank Len Hayward with the Caller Times for taking better pictures in victory lane. 

u find someone to take your place ..

You got thar right. Hell the Chicago Police are not allowed the chase people that run from them unless it is pretty serious.

 

last night the police didnt chase a murderer who just shot someone .. they were right on his tail and was ordered under the sissy act .do not chase .. 

NASCAR  is going to race a street race .aint that something .desperate ... and of all cities they picked  chicago .. i hope none of our drivers get  car jacked robbed or shot ... has nascar not noticed the crime in that city and the lack of police help .. i would not  go near that city even if someone paid for my trip .. 

THANKS

 looks like the killer didnt like the anwer of leave  and no i am not giving u money ... what is  the common issue with these killers .. a criminal record  .he had warrants . yet u cant tell me the police were active in looking for him .. u use to go to jail or prison for stealing bubble gum . now it takes a murder toget u there and in this case to hell .those who stole my truck all had records of stealing . and  drugs  were well known to the police .the courts keep letting them out .makes u  sick .. this why i own three  9mm .1993 was the last time i shot a gun  before my truck was stolen two years ago . the criminals are armed  more now than ever . and that is  the reason why i own guns now and will have to shoot  first ... and sorry i never heard of  this driver .RIP

Maybe 30 yrs for Shockwave......But I know, for a fact, that one of jet dragster girls(Kat Moller) lost her life in a crash about 5ish years ago.

 

yep true but.. i am speeking only of this truck ..

  i could not help but notice  THE PURSE for the 50 lapper .. $150..    alot of money then .. and still that amount paid in some classes features today .. that amount today helps pay back  some cost   just  to get to and enter a race .

DIDNT see terry labonte name on the  LIST NICK ... ..ofcourse impossible   when he was just 15 and wet behind the ears  starting his future in racing at cc speedway  in 71

30 plus years  and no one killed . that is amazing .. till now .. just never know  when its your time .

Racing is the most recycled sport i can think of .. CHANGES  every year only to repeat ..then  she starts all over with new . .
