2wide Posted April 8, 2004 Report Share Posted April 8, 2004 Colt, not many. But when you think about it ,every class has ''the fast guys'' and ''the slow guys.'' I guess I can add ROMCO to the list of TRAIN racing. No passing=Boring. The grandstands were full last time the Dwarfs raced at THR. Less than halfway thru the ROMCO race people were leaving in droves. I guess it MIGHT be fun to start on the pole and know that if you stay low no one can pass you. Nothing personal, I just like to see the fastest car win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colt15 Posted April 8, 2004 Report Share Posted April 8, 2004 Maybe they left cause they got tired of watching five dwarf heat races, a bmain, and a feature???????? And one thing about romco is the top 10 is usually seperated by about 2 tenths of a second unlike dwarfs where it is probally seconds. I imagine they are probally fun to watch on dirt but they just dont do it for me on asphalt. And train racing??? How about Doug Hooks and Bradley Reithmeyer going to the back and coming back to finish in the top 5??? They couldnt of just followed there way to the top 5 could they????

Colt15 Posted April 8, 2004 Report Share Posted April 8, 2004 You sound so confident why dont you get a car and we will start you on the pole and since its soooooooo easyyyyyy to win like you make it sound you shouldnt have much of a problem. -Colt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickHolt Posted April 8, 2004 Report Share Posted April 8, 2004 2wide, Sorry Nick, they started it  No, you started it. Up until you posted the following, the thread was all about favorite drivers in different venues.  Hey guys, The Dwarfs are gonna' be at THR saturday night. Watch them,and tell me if it's not THE BEST show of the night. Just watch for the 25 car and the 05 car. They let it rip!!!  You're the one who posted the brag. Did you honestly expect participants in other venues to sit down and not challenge you?  In any event, I am asking everyone to calm down a bit and be nice.  Nick Holt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2wide Posted April 8, 2004 Report Share Posted April 8, 2004 Colt, it's cool if your not into Dwarf racing. I myself am not into ROMCO racing. People like what they like. As far as Hooks and Reitmeyer going from the back to the top five.I'm willing to bet that the cars they passed didn't qualify within 2 tenths of the pole.

Josh42 Posted April 8, 2004 Report Share Posted April 8, 2004 First off if there is a 16 second dwarf car I want it cause that would be a bada$$ car. Second the cars Bradley and Doug passed were fast but also some were slow but in the way. = Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

racingmom Posted April 8, 2004 Report Share Posted April 8, 2004 2wide At one time Colt's Dad drove a dwarf car at Longhorn, then it was very exciting to watch, but even then with 25 cars they never seemed to have more than 2 heat races. I don't know how they figure their line up but Terry always stared at the back not bragging but most times by lap 2 or 3 he was leading. He would probably be the first to tell you that Romco verse dwarf is no comparison. Colt did practice a drawf car at age 13. Also Anyone that can lead 99 laps with Greg Davidson(one of the best of the best) behind them is a good driver. C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2wide Posted April 8, 2004 Report Share Posted April 8, 2004 The reason the Dwarfs had so many heat races is that the north division and the south division were having a combined race.There were about 34 cars.Out of those 34. There were at least 12-13 rookies,and several others that had never raced on pavement. They wanted to let those guys get some seat time on the track with cars that were close to the same speed and experience. Didn't make much sense to me either,but that's how it went down. Â Like I said in an earlier post, my co-workers kinda' threw me into the fire. Â I never tryed to compare ROMCO and Dwarfs. Two different animals. Â I remember watching Terry race Dwarfs. He was a great driver, as is Colt. Again,like I said before,Colt ran a great race. Â I hope this clears things up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

junior Posted April 13, 2004 Report Share Posted April 13, 2004 I would not classify them as my favorite drivers but they were tough compitition Bill White, Tommy Gural, Donnie Merridith the Johnsons, Ray, Charles and Clyde from west Texas and I didn't race against him but the tech man Jack was no push over in his time plus Buddy Yantis, Paul Jet and several others from SA did quite well on the dirt tracks around Austin as well as the Late Judd Larson.
