  1. FIRST time i watched this race from start to finish . i really never gave much thought those airplanes on the ground were actualy cars .. .. .... u wont get much side by side racing . at that track which as u can see isnt all that safe and smart with aero package and track being flat .. but over all i thought its was a fun race to watch .. i was pulling for that driver in aj foyts car . car was fast he did not get a good restart i thought he had the best car and could have gone by both of the leaders .....but the winner was fun to watch ..i think he had fresher tires and maybe two lap shoot out instead of one may have done the trick .. i noticed alot of drivers were not happy with a one and done lap .. i look at it this way .had they finished riding around for three more laps . none of them would have had one more shot at the leader or moving up a spot or two . .. just riding around dang just one more lap all i needed .. what could have been ..wont know , next year indy should put in a system like nascar just in case of this deal happening again if they do not want to look like they favored a car owner .. i ddnt really think the owner would have pulled that stunt .but who ever has control of the race could have .
  2. TAKE alot of work and money to get it up and running safely ../ i bet alot of electrical work would need to be done .who knows how much was stolen from there .. no i am not counting it could ever happen .. then u have to deal with the city .i dont know if it still has its grandfather claus ..
  3. DID THE OWNER play a PART .i would say 60,40.. leaning towards yes .. but at the same time i would not be happy going there and not see a finish at speed .. outside of weather creation .. i thought there was a min speed rule on restarts .. if so .. the leader should of had on that one chance to get it right .. . that non start cost them an extra on racing lap .. he should have been penalized . plus a tire crossing outside the pit line .. .....i could care who won really but aj foyts driver put on a great show for his team . started pulling for him .. but i have no issue with the winner .it was time .. . i noticed one thing ..it sure didnt hurt to have nascar soft wall at that track .. thanks to nascar ..
  4. WHEN we raced the green 8 purestock at sa kyle and cc even on dirt we had some tires that . i cant remember the brand with out looking at a pic those were bad ass my brother inlaw ownes a tire store and after burning up firestones every night i ask my brother inlaw to find me some legal tires that wont burn up ... .... wow did he joshua ran a second faster than anyone at sas when cris and them opened the track for those what four race weekends .. he won 5 or 6 races two were features .. .. everyone thought the motor was ilegal it was a brand new in the box factory chevy motor from the dealership .. those tires ran almost all season fact he was winning at kyle leading the points and cc speedway winning races there leading the points that year and those tires played a big part of it all .. just to bad he got hit in the right rear tire solid and bent the car where we had no time left in the season to fix the issue she ran loose after that .. other wise he would have won both championships that year .. i like what mike is saying with building a class like that .. .. and james i am in the minorty aswell .i still build most of our motors and tune them the old fashion way .. just finished a 468 13 to 1 twin 750 700 plus hp for the jet boat // still love building our motors .
  5. i can bring my old bike ..i might make a lap and slow to boot .. just have medics at the half way mark ..
  6. .. NORMAL racing at that old track .. there is always one and then there is the rest ..
  7. ME TOO and i watched every lap ..
  8. what you are all talking about has been done over time and time again ... u know it works till SMALL RULE change to help another type of car comes along starts beating the other s and this starts right back over .. we old folks have been there done that more than once .. just ove 6 years ago we were running a stock motor stock chassis no racing springs and stock 4 barrel carbs in what was called puretsock .. that same class is now factory stock cost more to build one of those cars than almost any .. the price of a motor today would build two to three purestocks 6 years ago .. fact just getting the chassis now then add shocks could build few purestocks 6 years ago .. .. we cc shut down we took jesses old car put it on dirt made a couple of spring changes ran all season finished every race very lap except two . two blown tires cost us two laps we didnt win any races except on feature and ended up leading the points wiht three race nights left .. and didn even know what we were doing on dirt ..... my son had ot get out two seasons ago .cost i was glad cost was way to high ..last year i hardly went to a race .. this year i have not even seen the track ..
  9. NOT going to get my money ..i wont even rent a movie pay for fight .nothing .. cable cost to much as it is .. if nascar moves all racing over there .. oh well ..
  10. THOUGHT is if nascar is going to a new track that no one alive racing has raced at .. they should have a lot of practice time .. .... but this isnt a points race just a million bucks race .. and gives them a 200 lap practice session anyway .. IF nascar does next year teams will have notes .. .... if u look this race hasnt had the fan base they use to .... . .put 2 million or more on the winners purse let the teams work on those cars with more freedom to change a thing or two be innovative like they use to .... its not a points race .. you had a driver figure out the best way to get around the track and his team was able to adjust the car to run what he wanted to .. did they get lucky i say more yes than no . .but it worked and the best team won last night in this race ..
  11. ill add something and many of us will understand this one .. MY SON ONCE SAID dad how can u remember 50 years ago bUt u cant remember 50 seconds ago of what i just said ... .. MY ANSWER .. in 50 years from now i will remember what u said 50 seconds ago ..

  15. i have been pushed up to the wall and have done so myself to others ..its racing in my books unless you drive me into the wall or me drove u into the wall .. fair is fair if u can get the advantage take it . wreck someone expect it back ..in this case with ross .he knew what he was doing .
  16. on other note i notice bubba isnt happy with 5 th place .. .. boy isnt happy about anything he has turned out to be a big crybaby ;; i lost respect for him on the noose deal and the blm on the car ..
  17. nick had all kinds of typos on the first one . why can i not clear it off .. u use to be able to blank it out .what am i doing wrong in that department ..
  18. Not all of it is on HIM .. . BUT he got way ever his head on that restart ..just htink had nascar slowed wown and made sure ross didnt jump the start when he did .that wrwck would not have happend ...as for me when was racing . i only took one man out and wrecked him .. . i took another deep into a turn to get the message .and anyo others . i talk to them in the pits .if they had attitude about it i told them get ready for next week u will be building a new car and i dont mind building me one fact ill have a new one out next week after words .. so make your choice now finish it here in the pits or on the track ...... never had any more issues with any of them .. ill race u like u race me .you want to wreck me be ready to except my gift .
  19. YEP BEEN KINDA BORING ,, ross planted the seed lets watch it grow ..
  20. .. LOOKS LIKE GREAT FRIENDS LOL.. hey friends is one thing off the track . but sure seems like we have a another joey logano in the making in ross .. when there is a wreck on the track sure seems like ross played a part .that is never good as a racer ..u need friends on the track and any will not want to race u . and anything like what happend on the track will not be considered just racing i saw what ross said happen ross best be glad that wasnt tony stewart he hit .... but i cant say i blame ross . if u are mad at me say what u think .but dont touch me that crosses start line i plan to finish first in the end .. ross defended himself ...
  21. i dont know THIS holts guy must have his moms smarts .. .we know his dad .
  22. Sometimes that happens ..ill wake up just before the end .lol .. someday ill go to daytona and talli .. see it in person every four years my wife and i take trips .. . so if we go to anyone of those tracks we have to find other things to go to during the trip up and back ... ..we never go on trips with out visiting other attractions going up and comeing back ...
