Eastbay Today

[TTS_JF]

Stopped by east bay today, and the sweeteners plus rig was parked down from pit entrance. Also there was an Arnie Ranta sponsored modified, who drives it?

[MI Dirt Fan]

Somewhere I read the other day Tmac was suppose to be testing there coming up. Can't remember where I saw that though.

Just my opinion but I think there needs to be an end put to testing sessions. Possibly just limit it to the day prior to the event. It costs too much and gives unfair advantages to those that can afford to do it. Just ask NASCAR.

WoO has something they implemented I think last year or the year before. Not sure if Lucas has the same rule.

[ZERO25]

Sooooo, did they finally get a driver or is it a different rig?

[RaceEngineer]

Sooooo, did they finally get a driver or is it a different rig?Maybe Timmy got his CDL?

[TMaCiLLiNi39]

Maybe Timmy got his CDL?

Timmy has been in Tulsa... try and keep up

[ZERO25]

Maybe......this whole deal is a joke.

Theres many ways for the owner to transfer the rigs ownership to Timmy and release him of all liability!

Mostly agree. Nascar screwed up with the testing ban! And they know it! Brought on pull down rigs, wind tunnels, simulation, tons of engineers, etc. Sound familiar!! those with money will usually have an edge though! One way or another!

[RaceEngineer]

Timmy has been in Tulsa... try and keep upTulsa is a boring town. I don't believe a late model race was there either. Not on my radar.

NA$CAR screwed up when Brian France won the sperm race.

[GrocMax]

Ranta been sponsoring Larson for a long time. Raced mods for years. Tulsa= Chili Bowl for Tim.

Your loss.

[TTS_JF]

Who drives the ranta mod? What's the sweeteners plus rig doing there.. nobody has answered either.

[squaredup12]

McCreadie testing with Buckingham (Double Down Motorsports crew) and “some others”...per the article on InsideDirtRacing.com regarding DDM’s potential Lucas Oil run.

[ClampedUp]

Heck I've seen various WoO and Lucas teams up here in Western PA testing at tracks like Marion Center and Dog Hollow quite a few times over the years.
Usually chassis, tire, and or shock companies doing testing and they usually invite the locals to participate.
I see nothing wrong with it....

Theres many ways for the owner to transfer the rigs ownership to Timmy and release him of all liability!Tim doesn’t have his CDL last I knew, and personally it’s a bad idea to put all that on the driver.

[ZERO25]

Oh I definitely agree with ya cnb!

But it would be a whole lot easier if they put the hauler in Timmys name, then all the liability issues involving Sweetners Plus would be over!

[chupp n bloomer fan]

But it would be a whole lot easier if they put the hauler in Timmys name, then all the liability issues involving Sweetners Plus would be over!True. But I’m sure Tim doesn’t want the hassle, or worrying about a driver too. Plus the upkeep.

I told ya they were doing some testing there but couldn't remember where I read it

Some some of the team's are going GIS this week to test, not sure why they would be at east bay already. I know JD was at GIS at the end of this past week.

This is just a shot in the dark, I'm not claiming to know anything. There was a rumor going around awhile back that Ranta was sponsoring the longhorn house car, I took it as tmac was getting the sponsor. Maybe it was Strickler that got the sponsor? Not sure why it would happen like that, but it would make sense. Tmac was supposedly leasing Boom Briggs rig for speedweeks. Maybe sweetners sold their hauler? I would've thought they would've wanted their name off of it though.

[MI Dirt Fan]

Maybe that is what it was GIS. I'd a swore I read they were testing at East Bay though.

[RaceEngineer]

I've seen plenty of drivers behind the wheel of the hauler, CnB.

[TTS_JF]

Thanks for replies, I'll stop by the track today and see whose around

[TTS_JF]

Bronson will be testing as well

[Dlmfan123]

Buckingham just posted a picture on Facebook they are testing at east bay today with tmac

[Dlmfan123]

[chupp n bloomer fan]

I've seen plenty of drivers behind the wheel of the hauler, CnB.Yes, he was naming touring drivers. Erb Jr was mentioned, Eckert, probably Tyler Erb, I dunno who else as far as touring guys.

[dalemcfan]

The sweeteners plus hauler and a few others were at Golden Isles this afternoon.

[TTS_JF]

You are correct dlmfan; not sure if it was gundaker or the other one but one of the cars got in a little crash in the b-main I believe last night.
