seems like all the s/s up north are getting alot of practice with all that racing going on. Wonder if any guys from up north are going to come down south and play on the 24th. The 21 pro stock from imperial is going to be racing and we are going to win. I here that there might be some guys coming up from Barona as well and maybe a few from imperial. Lets see if we can make this a good size S/S field.  

so i guess all you santa maria and bakerfields guys are scared to come down south huh? lets promote this class at one of the finest racing track in california. More cars equal more in payout. Lets go guys. How bout you leaf guys come show us 3 links guys whats better...

man, i can't wait for that check to get here.... what a whopper!! lol

on a side note, barona paid 112 dollars to finish second when 14 cars started the night.

then i proceeded to get hit so hard in the lr i had the gears knocked out of the rearend. i know where i WONT be going back to race. btw, this wasnt during a wreck, simply entering turn 3 on the first lap.

if i didnt live nearly 400 miles away from both tracks and didnt work 6-7 days a week, i would seriously consider it, but thats just simply too far for me to travel if it wasnt a big dollar open show.

We being the drivers?
I think every track north of there pays way more than that,they need to step up the pay to get cars to travel these days,that's a 350+ trip for us

Honestly 500-800 would be good enough to travel,we have been wanting to hit perris this year,but 200 makes it really hard to justify.
What's the date on that $3000 to win show

I watched some video from Barona, and it looked like that Bowman-Gray TV show, "we use the car in front of us for brakes" lol

thats pretty much how it is. a lot of it is new drivers to the class that simply havent learned how to handle a much faster car yet. but i expected much more from eric (the 9 car that won the turkey last year). he flat out jumped the berm trying to cut the corner on the first lap and slammed into me. i had some words with him afterwards and of course he profusely apologized and said he was hard on the brakes, which i call bs. until they get the racing cleaned up and more than half the field isnt taken out each race from wrecks, i wont be back.



and andrew, its not sheet metal, i can pound out a new body in an afternoon. its the simple respect for the guy in front of you alot of them dont show. because eric wouldnt give me the respect and allow me to hold my line (and i wasnt off pace either, i was up the ass of the guy in front of me) he really cost me some money. so far i'll have to build at least three new body panels, probably buy two new wheels, hopefully my hub isnt bent, my gears are shot as it stripped the threads out of the pinion mount and chucked the pinion out the front, knocked the seal out the rear of the tranny, destroyed my drive shaft, the pinion mount for the j bar, may have ruined my two way pullbar (the rods are bent) and bent my j bar.

i accept that happening in a spin out, slam into wreck, its racing. but to just get slammed into and broken like that is unacceptable, especially from someone as talented and experienced as he is. racers have long memories.

and my dad doesnt race anywhere else because he isnt interested in racing anywhere else. he helps me and has drive home duties, which i appreciate. el cajon every saturday night for 24 weeks fixed him of wanting to race out of town.

and yes, i plan to be at perris on the 24th.

yeah, i dont even think he's going to race it in yuma unless el centro doesnt make it past this year. he was getting to be a real grump about racing out of town until i won that race in perris, then his outlook on things kinda changed, lol. brent get that body put on yet?

so is any body plan on racing? its going to be a good time.
