[Scooby00]

Just proves you don't have to buy a new car every year,a good driver helps though.

Against top competition he's middle of the pack at best.

[MasterSbilt_Racer]

Whatever it is, it is apparently as fast as the Club cars they lost. Money can be saved in racing!

Not sure I would call 7th at the Dream midpack, but that is your call.

[Catfish N Rice 11]

According to Josh it was an "Old old old old old old old car with an pld old old old motor in it lol

If he was running up front consistantly he wouldn't be looking for a ride.

[old fan]

how many good rides are out there

[fastford]

good job to the young driver. One thing id like to know though, does that chassis still have the 03 front end under it?

[george w]

Not every racers dad has a chassis building business in there backyard, he's done great with every opportunity thats come his way though, that counts for something in most peoples eyes. An a d@m solid kid to boot.

[Josh Bayko]

There are plenty of consistently fast drivers who have trouble finding and keeping rides.

Every time you post a message I am more convinced you don't know much about late model racing.

[old fan]

many of those Florence racers are Eldora Regulars for the big events ptown including one of my favorite nick name THE BIG SHOW ROBBIE HENSLEY

[newmod2]

I'd like to know which car ptown pays the bills for or better yet, which car do you drive?

Eprobably a "black front end"............they were really good !

[Brian Gray]

This is the kind of thing I've been talking about. A real racer will figure out a way back racing . They took a chance on what they had available and did great with it. good job Josh.

And for the record there's a lot of those old rockets still racing and winning. I think a lot of people take for granted the knowledge those kids have available to them.

No kidding......just look at how well your old nemesis hucky is doing in his these days.

This guy's must have kids kick him in the shins daily. It seem like anyone that's young and drives a late model, and does well, he hates on. He must not want the sport to live.

It's also apparent he's never seen Josh run, the kid CAN drive. Pretty obvious he can, Gill is no push over.

[Brian Gray]

I get where he's coming From with kids in the sport. But Josh and James are hardly kids anymore.

As for kids in the sport I think they degrade the image, regardless of their talents little league is little league and there needs to be a place for that. Hence the age limits at tracks like Eldora.

[zyoung25]

It has nothing to do with age. Ptown just think they're handed everything. That isn't the case here, or they wouldnt have had to scrap this 13 or 14 year old car together. Not many guys could've gotten in that car last night and won.

[BIG MAC ATTACK]

Im hearing hes back with Kuzman so I guess the club cars aren't all that bad or he would stay in the old rocket

[buster83]

Atty Boy Josh.

[pierceFAN]

Pclown rarely has a good word to say about anything

[MasterSbilt_Racer]

I'd imagine financial support would be the overriding factor. A nice hauler, new tires, and good engines has put many a racer in a worse car than what he had before. Not saying that is the case here.

Aren't all of Kuzmans cars gone?

[zyoung25]

As far as I know, there is no connection with John. All of that stuff is gone. This car was put together by James. James was gone out of town, Josh asked to drive while he was gone, and they went from there.

[TTS_JF]

Glad to see Rice back in a LM, it was a good race to boot with Gill chasing lap after lap.

Crate race was good also.

[BIG MAC ATTACK]

All of his cars are not gone and no he wasn't in one of kuzmans cars Saturday,but my sources say he will be back in one soon and the rocket is not as old as you think or is the motor a weak one

[TS FAN]

I hope the Rice youngsters both get out there again. Josh is an especially good talent. I would not be surprised to see him get a decent ride next year.

[MasterSbilt_Racer]

It certainly is a good car, or he wouldn't have won the race. He is a fine driver, but it isn't like he was winning every week before.

[cutman]

Was this one if his dad's or uncle's old cars? Updated front end to not make it so old?

[Kromulous]

Why does he have to "get a ride" ?

Be your own man, get your own stuff and go at it. Do the best you can, and at the end of the day you don't have to answer to anyone.

[Josh Bayko]

Just looking at the pics, if it's an 03, it definitely has updates. The cage has that tube from the front of the cage down to the door at that Rocket didn't start doing until late 05.

[Catfish N Rice 11]

Yeah that halo bar adds 10 horses...

ptown you are a complete moron! you have nothing good to say about any of the young guns of this sport that we all love... Id almost bet that you have never even ventured out of your house to watch a GOOD Latemodel race now have you dumba$$? If you are soooooooooo GOOD then why dont you climb your happya$$ in a car yourself and go out and see how well you do!! Oh wait that would require you coming up out of your moms basement and actually stepping outside you freaking rere.....

[Raceready]

I remember when Walter Burson who was the technical for The STARS travelling series was paranoid that Chub Frank was going to break his scales because it was so old and heavy. They later found out that the car had somehow filled up with water over the years. They didn't know whether in was condensation, water from washing it, or rain water blowing down in it driving down the road on the flat trailer or what. At any rate he was still winning several races a year right up until the season that he started running the Bullitt cars.

[Gary]

I think I saw either James or Josh say it was one of their dad's old cars.

[cutman]

Geez, the guy was just making an observation

[chupp n bloomer fan]

Yeah that halo bar adds 10 horses...He was telling you how he knew it wasn't an 02'-03' anymore, that it had updates. Nowhere did he say the bar adds ten horses, but you did.

[old fan]

I might be wrong but I think GILL and James can get around a track pretty good correct ptown

[MasterSbilt_Racer]

As long as the post next week says "Rice ran 5th with top notch Kuzman car", budget racers won't be offended.

Josh just posted a picture of the car with the Kuzman name on it saying he's racing at Florence Speedway this weekend. It looks like it's just Josh only getting to race.

Looks like Jeff was right. I knew James car had sold, so I thought both had went.
