Pierce Race Cars

[BTExpress]

Does Bobby's success in the Summer Nationals help Bob sell more chassis, or will teams just chalk it off as the kid driving for the old man? Not sure how many cars Bob builds on a yearly basis?. I know no where near what a Rocket or Longhorn sells, but thought maybe his recent winning ways might get other teams to consider a Pierce built car in the future.

[t4g2]

Ya should be interesting to see. Yeah he's have a good sn year but theirs not alot of competition this year versus years past. Babb won 13 out of 26 one year an another year he won 15. They would have more Peirce cars out there but his driving a few years ago cost them some business as I know 5 drivers that gave up their Peirce cars because of incidents in the track.

I'd be curious to know which 5 drivers?

[old fan]

how about not getting help with their car

[BTExpress]

"how about not getting help with their car "

Ha ha thought that was the standard response when talking about Rockets?

[pierceFAN]

I know this...sun thru Thursday bob is available for all the help you need but come the weekend he's all Bobby Pierce

I don't know many fathers that wouldn't be the exact same way........good for him, them.

[old fan]

I know 2 locals selling their pierces for a rocket

[t4g2]

Well 3 years ago or so feger babb Shirley Schmidt and I forget the other off hand

All you have too do is go see witch drivers dropped there P cars and moved too others in the lasts 3 years and its More then 5.... When i worked at Hedricks there were times that Bob did not call back for weeks.. Richie dumped his be for the year was 1/2 over....

[pierceFAN]

Well 3 years ago or so feger babb Shirley Schmidt and I forget the other off hand

Well babb won. $10000 race in his his Pierce right before he got the Boyer ride... Not many drivers would pass up that opportunity... Feger and Shirley I will not comment on because there are some behind the scenes stuff that I don't want to get into but personally I say good riddance.. Don't know about Schmitt except for Bobby did stuff him in the wall at fairbury but it wasn't intentional... Drivers change chassis like underware... Not a big deal...

Yea your change you under wear cause it dirty...Toss it when it dont fit.....

Whatever happened to the days when racers would actually make the effort to figure their own cars out? Now it seems everybody needs their hand held or a baby sitter to tell them what bolt to turn.

[t4g2]

Good riddence? That's Peirces attitude too an then you wonder why theirs not many out there. Def its no customer service when your in the business of customer service. An giid riddence to bobby they can't get him a nascrap ride fast enough to get him gone. As I don't follow nascrap

[MI Dirt Fan]

Seems as though for the money some are spending on a chassis there would be some tech support that would go along with it. I know a place that does carbs and you can call them day or night 24 hrs for help.

[Barbecueboy]

Funny how dirt track racing and tv wrestling seem so much the same these days........cheating dramas...family dramas...... Villains and good guys drama.

Vince McMahon/ ( plug in your favorite wrg official here) similarities........it's awesome ain't it?

[Barbecueboy]

Bobby pierce =hacksaw Jim duggin???

And I mean that in a good way......#notabobbyhater

[Barbecueboy]

Yea your change you under wear cause it dirty...Toss it when it dont fit.....

I have to believe that our friend litey just said.............wait, what?

[Josh Bayko]

Bobby pierce =hacksaw Jim duggin???

And I mean that in a good way......#notabobbyhater

Nah, Duggan didn't win that much, and when he did turn heel, he was really bad at it. You'd have to go with a young heel type to describe Bobby Pierce. Maybe a young Curt Henning.

[old fan]

you have a point.........I was thinking more about not being afraid to use the stick on somebody if needed with Bobby.....and again, in a good way, lol.

[zyoung25]

I would think Owens would be a better Henning.....slap his chewing gum into the stands.

I always liked hacksaw. Anyone that can scream "HOOOOOOOO" and get away with it is alright with me.

Bobby would be good Rey Mysterio. Does things that shouldn't be possible, and can whip up on the giants. Also both are short in stature.

I wouldn't say Owens is heel enough to be Henning.

Mysterio is good comparison for Pierce, but he's been a face for as long as I can remember. Maybe Seth Rollins = Bobby Pierce. Polarizing young guys who can beat up on the legends when necessary, and people either love 'em or hate 'em, ain't much middle ground.

This got me thinking. I wonder how many wrasslin' fans we got here. Got an idea for a fun thread.

[zyoung25]

You're right about Owens.....he's too much of a nice guy to be a heel. I just thought the chewing gum connection was a good laugh.

I was a big wrestling fan a few years ago, back when in the rock and stone cold era. Don't watch it as much now.

[ILL-DIRTDOG]

Isnt this the truth.

[kidrock]

I think it's great Pierce keeps winning in their own chassis.

[Hazelbaker]

Bobby wins again..

[REM1187]

Melvin sold his Pierce cars after the Belleville incident

[powerslide]

Melvin was pretty pissed and they were for sale the next day

[t4g2]

Yeah he's the other one I forgot. Feger an Schmitt both were pretty pissed they both got rid of them right after their incidents.

[Krooser]

A&E.... You hit the nail on the head.

When I moved the right side rear rail in on my ancient Mastersbilt one hot shot told me it was a mistake unless it was done on the MB jig! Yeah like I can't modify a 20 year old car and do it right. I guess some guys don't own welders.

LMAO Thanks for the idea on the wrasslin thread. IT'S STARTED.

[blncfn57]

Yeah he's the other one I forgot. Feger an Schmitt both were pretty pissed they both got rid of them right after their incidents.

Wrong! Both still had their Pierce cars for quite awhile after the incidents. Feger, I'm thinking, still has his and has ran it this season.

[turnleftandgasit]

After going out on a limb with the Bill West equipment, switching to the Pierce cars has revitalized Weavers racing program.

[t4g2]

Wrong feger doesn't have a Pierce he has his make hustler which may be a knock off an he has a bad an a victory circle by Moyer.he dumped the broken Peirce car off at the front door of Peirce's shop the same night the incident happened.

LMFAO!! Funny His "hustler" Pierce car was ran in Peoria earlier this year and he said he had over 300 nights on it at that time. He also rolled it this year. Call it a Hustler or Pierce or whatever else you want to say, but it was built at Pierce's shop so it is what it is. Not gonna argueabout a name, but he still has the same car that he had when him and Bobby had their run in.

[D. Tidrow]

I dont mine if Pfan sticks up for his Boy.. If he dont mind I will slam His boy if he wrecks someone....He just has to realize that a LOT of people Dont Like Bob or his Wife.....

[D. Tidrow]

I never said they were mad at me? Where did that come from?I thought I seen a post where they were not always nice to you because of their finances. Maybe I am wrong, if I am I apologize. I was just wondering. Do you know them personally? How do you know them?

[Cardirt0]

I Am going to make a what is too come.... Once the SN over,He has too run with the Big boy once more, and say the P car not running as good as it was, bet the bump them out of the way comes back...I Think so, time will tell,,,Its not hard to be Num.1 when only 3 or 4 of the other cars run as fast as him....

[D. Tidrow]

I dont mine if Pfan sticks up for his Boy.. If he dont mind I will slam His boy if he wrecks someone....He just has to realize that a LOT of people Dont Like Bob or his Wife.....I have met you cardirt0, you are a real central Illinois dirt track historian. I mean that as a compliment. I am sure I seen a post about the pierces getting mad at piercefan.

Could be, They tell a lot of people off.. Some times even there fans....I like too take him in too the pits and speak too a lot of the drivers I know... he be shocked at what they have too say.. If they did not know he was a Bobby or BOB fan...He or they can say what they want but there is a lot of people in the Pits that DONT like them....

I consider the family friends of mine... I've never said anything bad or derogatory about them ... I defend them and I get bashed for doing so ...my wife died about a year ago and Bobby dedicated the rest of that season in her memory and proceeded to go out and win the $10,000 feature that night...meant a lot to me... So when people get on here and talk absolute crap about them... I am the first to stand by thier side...they are not perfect but who is? Evidently the people here on the 4m are

[Bubstr]

Looking at the points standings for the Summer Nationals, if you don't have a Pierce Car, your on the outside, looking in. Pierce, Weaver and Unzinger seem to be running well. And they must do it with no help. Feger had help from a hall of fame driver and crew chief last night and didn't win. I'd have to say, Pierce makes as good a chassis as the next guy.

It seems a chassis is only as good as the driver and choices made by the crew chief at the track.

Many years ago my 13 year old daughter was diagnosed with a very aggressive form of a brain tumor........our community rallied around her and us and a friend of a friend put a simple message on his modified that said" praying for Brittany" on his sail panel and dedicated his season to her.
Things like that are rarely forgotten and it's really cool what a simple gesture like that can do for someone's mental well being.........

Thanks for sharing that story and fully explains your loyalty and kind words about them when others are running him through the mud.

Randy Weaver = Longhorn
Kevin Weaver = Pierce

They seem to do better out there on that black "corn planting dirt". Around my parts, they haven't been impressive unless Bobby was driving it.

Exactly as I say, any chassis is as good as the driver and the choices of the crew chief. Black dirt Red clay or sand or silt. Every year we have a new Chassis of the day and all the fans think you have to have it or you can't win and every year they get proven wrong, no matter what that chassis was.

You would think the fans would wise up after a couple years of that. If not the fans, at least the racers that do the Chassis of the day deal.
