[Shiny Side Up 18]

[TerryM]

Thank you, Shiny, as always. I don’t know how you do it. I take my iPad to every race, but there’s no way I could ever post updates as frequently and accurately as you do. You rock, bro. How was the racing?

[Shiny Side Up 18]

@TerryM You're welcome. I'm happy to contribute. The supers put on a good show tonight. The track was a bit quicker than normal, but still pretty racy. Shirley and Sheppard were definitely the best cars tonight.

[intel8]

Good win for Shirley, Thanks Shiny for the updates.

[Illtsate32]

Track was hammer hammer down, Shirley got lucky Larson was there to hit when he was about to flip, otherwise he prob would of hit the wall or at least fell way back...

[PRCKartRacer9]

Where did Ol Chuck finish?

[Barbecueboy]

Shirley holding off Bshepp was impressive.......good win for squirrel

[chupp n bloomer fan]

Where did Ol Chuck finish?Slower than the top modifieds.

[chupp n bloomer fan]

shirley will be tough...but they dont call him squirrel for nothin...shepp wins shirley second pierce 3rdWith the way he ran all night, you thought Bobby was going to get third?

About as swell as me saying Bloomer when he comes back, is going to start tail at Macon and win.

[chupp n bloomer fan]

Shirley holding off Bshepp was impressive.......good win for squirrelDefinitely didn’t think he could do it. But he did, ran a good race. They figured out the holes, and did pretty good at working with them.

I liked the mods and lates both, really good racing.

And as Ill32 said, that 97 in the stocks is running a way different set up than most. You had the 4 3 wheelin it, and 97 running the locked down rf set up.

[Illtsate32]

I said it at the end of last year, Squirrel is top 10 in the country no doubt about it rn, top 7-8 really. Woo is lobbying for him to stay on tour, I think he would have a half dozen wins at least...

[george w]

I said it at the end of last year, Squirrel is top 10 in the country no doubt about it rn, top 7-8 really. Woo is lobbying for him to stay on tour, I think he would have a half dozen wins at least... I think your right plus what he could scrounge up during off weeks round his area or wherever for that matter

[smooth32]

With the way he ran all night, you thought Bobby was going to get third?About as swell as me saying Bloomer when he comes back, is going to start tail at Macon and win.Both are possibilities. Pierce can definitely come from the back. Especially at that track. Just seems to be a tic off. Tonight will be different. And you should know you can never count bloomquist out.

[Illtsate32]

Anybody does last night have any bearing on how they line up tonight or is it a complete re rack from hot laps on? Is anybody locked in to the feature tonight?

[non driving fool]

Where did Ol Chuck finish? I think he was testing, gathering data and charting bar locations. Last week he assured us he was prepared to win so I'm sure we'll see a top 3 tonight!

[WisWildManFan]

Watched videos, Bobby’s car looked terrible in heat.

[Rsr fan]

I think he was testing, gathering data and charting bar locations. Last week he assured us he was prepared to win so I'm sure we'll see a top 3 tonight!Yes I was there testing! What did you have there testing other then your mouth.

[rdcllk]

Complete show tonight. Lastnight race has nothing to due with tonight. Both are points races.

[chupp n bloomer fan]

Both are possibilities. Pierce can definitely come from the back. Especially at that track. Just seems to be a tic off. Tonight will be different. And you should know you can never count bloomquist out.Macon man, Bloomer is terrible. Last night Bobby was off. If track is not as tacky tonight, I think Bobby may be better. I think with his XR1 set up, they haven’t found a WFO tacky set up that works yet.

[chupp n bloomer fan]

And Bobby is one of my picks, so I hope he’s better.

[tigwelder]

Pierce was testing the car and track last night.

[chupp n bloomer fan]

Yes I was there testing! What did you have there testing other then your mouth.If I was out to lunch as bad as you are, I wouldn’t be on the internet running my mouth. I’d be getting a better motor, car, something. The top modifieds are quicker than you.

And you’re dam right I’m not out there. I don’t have the time or money to do it right, so I’m not doing it. If I can’t do something and do it well, I’m not doing it. I’m very good at my job, so I have stuck with it, even when the work load wasn’t good. And when I changed companies two years ago, the crew I’m on now, is top notch. So even if I had the extra money, I wouldn’t risk my position to race.

[kidrock]

Pierce was testing the car and track last night.

I would say the test didn't go to well last night

[Illtsate32]

Never thought about it much when I was younger but man having a good crew around you makes our job so much easier physically and mentally...and if you did get a car id pit for ya CnB lol...
