Crazyhorse Posted April 1, 2008 Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 you drive THR the way it wants you to......everybody drives different. the smoother you steer around THR the better the results. if you try to man handle THR she'll b^tch slap you. only thing i can say is go get use to the track.....it's not like any other.

abrungot Posted April 1, 2008 Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 The corners are key for THR, This will be my 3rd Full season running THR, & have done more adjusting to my driving style then to my car. Your car must be balanced, and like Crazy said, Be SMOOTH!!! smoth is fast, Also if you want to be smooth... set your car up for the outside, because to go forward in the field you have to handle on the outside. In my Thunderstock, I don't even have to replace Brakepads this year & ran a full season on them last. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigfat Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 Rosie Rosie Rosie,,,,,,, If you can't jack with me,,,,,,who can you jack with. Let it rip engine rider. Hippy, I'll be there. Probably tired and hungover from watchin' someone put B Rocket's ride together. Mannnnnnnn, that's going to be one sweet ride. He got the bullet for it tonight and Charlie should have the prettiness on it by I'd say the morning of the 11th. Someone's going to have to ride the trailer up there to put the finishing touches on it. It'll be like a Tatorized night before the races. "We've only got 42 things left on the list!!!!! ".

I'm not driving my car this season. I'm in a TPS car, hopefully. I already blew the motor in Wichita Falls last Saturday. My car will be driven by my Crew Chief from last year, you've probably heard of him, Brandon "B Rocket" Brown, outa La Vernia. We got the motor in tonight should have her fired tomorrow and plan on paintin' her Saturday. We'll be ready. Post Script, With this face and body, I pretty much get to pick who I want to dance with. Lucky girl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mona Posted April 5, 2008 Report Share Posted April 5, 2008 i have to be good jody is my mentor B-Rocket #29 Thunderstock That is a scarey thought right there. B-Rocket, You are much cuter & nicer than Jody. You are not annoying like he is. You will go far. Jody is out of touch today. He is at the river in Utopia (I didn't even know there was a river in Utopia, but that is what he said.) Feel free to get all the pokes in on Jody that you can while he can't answer. I'm sure his internet card will not work there. Nothing works there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
