Silly Season Projections

[oldasdirt]

As we are heading into the back half of the 2018 racing season and approaching the Crown Jewels, I thought maybe it would be fun to project any Silly Season moves. Personally I can't see Bobby Pierce back with Dunn Benson. There hasn't been the progression that I think they thought there would be. Additionally he was much more dominate in their own equipment. I think CBR also has to make a change in the 14 car. Any other thoughts?

[MRM]

Pierce has been running against much stronger competition week in and week out. I think he's done a fine job considering he's never raced at many of these tracks before this season.

[Kromulous]

Bloomquist to be ousted in Mooresburg ! Katrina ousts Bloomer and puts a new unknown driver in the Zero car.

Thats my prediction, and i'm sticking to it !

[Birky.Fan]

Pierce to the zero car confirmed!

[Planetzer0]

Birky splits with wife and makes a comeback. Wins the 2019 Dream and World 100.

[MasterSbilt_Racer]

Lanigan fired from the 14. Chassis changed to Kryptonite. New driver is T Carp sponsored by Pall Mall.

[Planetzer0]

Rumley leaves the sport to join NASA, quits NASA because he couldn't afford the pay downgrade.

Absolutely agree.....

[Kromulous]

Oh Hell, Bloomer cuckolded by Booby, thats one for the ages right there !!!

[brsteg]

Yes, Pierce was dominant in his back yard and the tracks that he liked therefore would travel to. You are right, running a national tour full time and learning, new tracks, a new car, and racing against tougher competition has really slowed down his win percentage.
I swear some of these threads I'm reading today.

I was thinking the same thing. Full time Lucas is a pretty big step up compared to Hell tour tracks and competition. Dipping into some WoO/Lucas events here and there isn't going to help in the long run.

But on the other hand he also needs to be provided a car that can actually finish a race running and or not smoking.

My silly season projection

Woo will cease Latemodels and join lucas oil Latemodel series as an under card with a New Series called "Woo Lucas Oil Modifies" they will be touring with the lucas oil latemodels running the same schedule with all modifieds Racing for $6500 to win events limiting just these 2 classes at each event! LOL

Okay stick to it and place a bet with me.........

[Clayton_Wetter]

Pierce to the zero car confirmed!

As the tire changer. hahahahahaaaaa

[Bubstr]

Really, someone is going to put all them did not finishes at Pierce's feet? Night before last, Pierce has a sticking gas pedal and probably over whines engine. Last night he blows it up. Anyone see anything but rookie mistakes here? One a gas pedal should never be built so it can stick. Second, have they ever heard of a leak down test, to see what is happening inside that engine. I am guessing the valve lash was never checked. Pierce finishes well when the car finishes. Maintenance cost him 4 or 5 spots in the LODLM standings. Add that to new tracks and it makes it a little hard to do well. It was hard for EPJ also. Five years and one win.

[MI Dirt Fan]

We don't need him he just got busted for having a bad tar. That's the last thing Bloomers needs again. lol

[Clayton_Wetter]

Well I guess there's room for a tool fetcher???? :)

[kidrock]

Bobby had a rough start to the season but, has been running a lot better in recent weeks but, has had many dnf here lately that has cost him. I would hope that the Dunn Benson team knew there would be some learning curves the fist year and would give Bobby a second year but, in today's world it's win now or down the road you go.

I don't believe EPJ was with DB for 5 years this second time around? That would have put him in the DB ride in 2012, think he was still racing with BLR then.

[Barbecueboy]

My silly season prediction......

WRG acronym gets changed to WGR......and new series is renamed World goat rodeo.

[Hoosier_Dirt]

Lanigan will get ousted
Bowyer will switch to xr1 rockets
TMac to Bowyer
Hudson Oneal to sprint cars/midgets
Pierce will stay put

[MI Dirt Fan]

Lanigan leaves. Runs WoO next year and wins the championship

Add that to new tracks and it makes it a little hard to do well. It was hard for EPJ also. Five years and one win.I don’t think anyone is putting it on Bobby. Their maintenance program, durability issues aren’t on Bobby. He is running well, they just aren’t up to snuff with the maintenance.

[chupp n bloomer fan]

Lanigan fired from the 14. Chassis changed to Kryptonite. New driver is T Carp sponsored by Pall Mall.I like it. Pall Mall’s, PBR, and Wal-Mart. In all seriousness though, I’d like to see Tyler get a shot with a national team if he wants too.

[cprince07]

Cars breaking is not on Bobby. That blame falls more on the crew chief to me. Just my opinion.

[Planetzer0]

McCreadie joins team Bloomquist. LOL.

[Dirt Racing #1]

James Essex is officially named the president of Jd fan club. But, still James will keep his position as vice president of Josh Richards fan club.

[Dirt Racing #1]

I doubt T-Mac will even be driving a late model next year.

[B_K]

Bloomquist quits the sport to join the DEA's opioid task force. All goes awry when evidence continues to go missing.

The day is saved when Bloomquist produces a note from a Dr. Feelgood saying Scott was at his office the whole time.

[B_K]

Honest question, I'm too lazy to look.

Has Carpenter ran a WoO show in the last two years?

[Josh Bayko]

Honest question, I'm too lazy to look.

Has Carpenter ran a WoO show in the last two years?

Nothing in ‘18, but both Carpenters scored some WoO points in both ‘16 and ‘17

[Bradley]

I would hope that the Dunn Benson team knew there would be some learning curves the fist year and would give Bobby a second year but, in today's world it's win now or down the road you go.

Maybe you mean more like Bobby would give Dunn Benson a second year to learn how to make their race cars last a complete race ?

[hucktyson]

Saying bobby hasn’t ran well lol he’s ran very well , far surpassing his haters predictions on here

[Pennsboro23]

Honest question, I'm too lazy to look.

Has Carpenter ran a WoO show in the last two years?

To be honest, the WoO haven’t came to West Virginia in two years. The only close place they have ran would be Atomic, I’m guessing he was at that show.

[bleedblue55]

Freddie and Tyler both ran the Charlotte World Finals last year. Tyler also ran Charlotte in 2016. I'd look for them to hit Atomic in Sept. and Charlotte again this year.

[Dlmfan123]

Tyler lost another motor last night at Elkins..

[Pennsboro23]

Tyler lost another motor last night at Elkins..

First night out with it too?

Yea that team is really bad and it’s not going to get any better in the future, that’s why EPJ left.

[latemodeljunkie]

Freddy was also at the Dream

[smooth32]

I don't think Pierce' team is the same team Pearson had, I thought they had to start from scratch. I'm sure someone here knows more.

[zyoung25]

Not one single crew member is the same. TC is with Hudson, and most of the others went back to a normal life.

He's not going anywhere people. If half of you knew what the problems have been, it's not on the team.

[Bubstr]

It seems you know and don't wish to share. Why even make a post? If the crew and driver are new, it must be the owner.

[t4g2]

It sounds like lack of maintenance program with Bob not living near the garage and bobby just driving. Bobby should get away from video game system and learn an work on the car like 99% of the other drivers do.

[zyoung25]

It seems you know and don't wish to share. Why even make a post? If the crew and driver are new, it must be the owner.

It seems you know all, so why should I even bother? It's amazing the people you can get to know just by posting like you have some sense sometimes.

He reminds me of ptown.

[Illtsate32]

99% haaaaa lol maybe 35...I know somebody thats gna be mad when Bobby wins the PDC...

[MI Dirt Fan]

I'll take that bet. After his performance the last few weeks. Against probably better competition also at PDC

[t4g2]

Illstate32 yeah all the drivers I know work on their own stuff. Feger , unzinker, Babb, Schmitt, Moyer, bloomer, just to name a few.an yes I won't be happy IF an that's a big IF he wins because IMO he shouldn't be racing as his initial penalty from ump was 30 days not 4 and penalties shouldn't have started til after appeal process.

[Flathead]

My predictions are:

1. Dunn-Benson motorsports goes from car owner to just a car sponsor. ( but I hope I'm wrong)
2. Lanigan is out at CBR and it'll be O'Neal and O'Neal in those two cars.
3. TMac will go back to modifieds.
4. Josh Richards will be back in the rocket one.
5. Billy Moyer won't go to Arizona, or Florida, and probably won't race until two weeks before the
Sho-me and those liberals on Dirt on dirt will still keep him on the top 25.
6. Timothy Culp will get a tech inspector job with the Comp Cams dirt series.

And on a side note, if everyone on here thinks Bobby Pierce has a crew that can't maintain a car maybe he should crawl under it and handle it himself. If you are a driver and you don't have a crew that can maintain a car, be a man and do it yourself don't just lay the blame on someone else. In my own opinion, those kind of things fall back on the driver to make sure things are done.

[Zonks32x]

Back to silly season...

Shakeup coming for one major team at the end of the year.

WoO is going to lose at least 2 of the drivers currently left on tour in '18.

Likely one, but possibly up to three drivers will be making the jump from Lucas to WoO in '19.

Expect points & points fund changes in at least one series for '19.

Look for schedules with fewer tracks, but more two-day shows in '19.

Heard it here first...co-sanctioned event Lucas vs WoO challenge, that may not be held until '20, but will be announced at some point in '19.

No way does Hudson O'Neal go to a CBR he'd be foolish compared to the ride he has now.

That just means he's more serious. You've done it now 😂

Wow.........

[ready2rd]

Unfortunately that 410 let go the bad luck continues Can not deny lil bobbys talent like him or not love him or hate him the dude can wheel a dirt car .

[t4g2]

6 months of bad luck? I don't think so obviously driver is very hard on equipment or bad maintenance and preventive maintenance. Yes I understand having bad luck as most teams have a stretch of it but never longer than a few weeks.

[Dlmfan123]

He hasn’t had bad luck up til about the last month they have really been struggling

[t4g2]

He's not the only one having bad luck, t Mac Babb fever Richards they all go through it, sometimes its best to just get back to basics an figure out maintenance. Obviously their lacking some preventive maintenance, an maybe driver is HARD on equipment.

[Bubstr]

The harder I work, the luckier I get.

[t4g2]

Yeah usually hard work pays off.

[Illtsate32]

Ya maybe they should get a better driver...im sure Scott Schmitt would put them over the top lol (big eye roll)...

[MI Dirt Fan]

Thoughts on Bronson for next year?

[t4g2]

Schmitt would def be easier on equipment.an couldn't do any worse an booby if he can't pass a car he does it dirty or "misjudge a slide job" take someone out. As my new shirt will say what does Peirce an spatola have in common? The don't know Schmitt.

[hucktyson]

Haters will always hate

[drunkinashortbus]

Erb Satterlee Lanigan off of lucas next yr.

LMFAO I like Scott and his dad alot, but lets be honest. He has always had dang good equipment and hasn't really ever jumped out as a top driver outside the local ranks. The best he ran consistantly was when he had the Pierce cars.
From what I heard, his maintenance has been pathetic lately. Time to light a fire under Terry or send him on his way.

If you're half as close to him as you talk like you are you will know exactly what my last comment means.

[Hoosier_Dirt]

Scott Bloomquists car will be all orange next year...with a black spoiler lmao!

[Hoosier_Dirt]

Thoughts on Bronson for next year?

I'll guess an outlaw type schedule

[ThebigE]

Josh Richards out of the Best Performance ride and back to the house car. Best Performance starts running regionally again with a different driver.

I just don't forsee Richards going back to Rocket1 next year or the year after.
