[ImCryn2]

Bobby was driving the Pierce car. Saving the Rocket for Eldora.

Looked like the car he originally planned on running at the dirt million with all the Benjamin's on it. Are you sure it was the Pierce car?

That's what he said in victory lane.

[Shiny Side Up 18]

He said something about swapping door panels so the Rocket could have fresh ones if I remember correctly.

[Illtsate32]

Nice solid race for Bobby. Good deal...

[ImCryn2]

Oh, ok. Also, thanks for the updates. Had to work so wasn't able to go.

I'm sure there must be a bunch of smart reasons for him to want to save the rocket for the world, But I just don't get that.......he seems to make magic and is very confident in the Pierce every time he's in it.

[Mud]

Oh, ok. Also, thanks for the updates. Had to work so wasn't able to go.Jimmy was said to be driving a Mars Car and saving his MB Customs for the million.Or was it driving an MB customs and saving his Mars Car? Whatever.

[i-pod]

Yea the Michigan boys usually struggle in Illinois. It is cool to see the guys I watch every weekend venture out of the state though. This will be first trip to FALS. Heading over in about a half hour.

[bullring]

Bet you’ll enjoy it I-pod.

Was the ethanol series the group that came to Wilmot last year with the Dirt Kings?

[WisWildManFan]
