It really would have been $1250 because he would have gotten half the protest money.

[puredirt]

just curious why not

[dalemcfan]

What would they be teching on a super late model engine?

[bumpdrafter]

Doesn't look like they run Super Late Models at 411 Speedway. I wouldn't have torn down for a $1,000 either.

[Returning to Dirt]

they run crates and limited late models together.

[puredirt]

considering his chance of not making the Ice Bowl that $1250 sounds pretty good but whats $1000 to a racecar driver and to say look " IM NOT CHEATING"

[chupp n bloomer fan]

If your going to race and refuse to tear down, leave it on the trailer. No point in racing, especially in a class of mostly crates, and refusing to tear down. Kinda says I'm cheating. Don't worry I know my screenname, and yes he cheats or has cheated, don't like him for that reason(Bloomer).
