Turbo off LOLM tour

[MEE]

Wonder why they pulled off?

[raburke23]

I see he took nearly everything off except Castrol dates. I can't see him not doing Show Me and The Dream, but 11th in Lucas points just isnt cutting it. That team and that driver should be top 6

[HoosierDirtFan]

He said many of the tracks on the Lucas Oil tour just don't appeal to him.

[Josh Bayko]

The generally runs pretty good outside of the Lucas tour, so he’s like a prime candidate for an outlaw schedule. I’m sure he’ll still run some Lucas shows at places he likes.

[LM1]

2024 Summernationals champion - said it was on his bucket list to do.

[zyoung25]

Being based near eldora, he'll have plenty of 5-10k races within a couple hours of the shop just about every weekend. We have the iron man series and revived NALMS. I think he'll do well with dropping off.

[Drop Shock]

Lucas pays pretty bad I think is $3500 for 3rd and realistically how many podiums is he gonna have. A lot less driving miles and better chance to make money racing around the house and going the places you like not where you have to be

[Barbecueboy]

Sounds like he just wants to have some fun again…….

[Pennsboro32]

This was my first thought as well.

[Kromulous]

Its always about the $$$$$$$$$$

Costs to much to run Lucas if your not wining or runing well.

Thank you James. As you know there’s plenty of people on here that don’t know wtf they’re talking about.

[foxfire2dirtracing]

Thanks Tower View (J.E.)
Looks like Terbo pocketed $5,750 for a 7th and a 9th place finish.

[foxfire2dirtracing]

^^ correction: $5,850

[MRM]

This topic may head back to the earlier discussion about the purses and what teams are spending. It does show the purses need to be increased since there are so many full time drivers. But the series' have to be careful or many of their tracks won't be able to afford to put on one of these races without charging $50 a ticket for a $15,000 to win race. That's not good for anybody.

Not real good financially for him when they claim it cost (on average) $5000 per race.

[Snake X3]

This is fantastic news! FINALLY! Erb can take his "talent" and wonderful personality to some 5k shows against regional talent where he has a chance to win. Easily the most overrated driver in the sport. Don't let the door hit ya on the way out. LOSER!

Sure it is good news to you.... Your posts on here show your Hate toward Erb.. Can look back and see your posts you even said " I really wish cancer had gotten him as a kid".... Karma aint hit you, and yer on the right side of the grass still... And I remember you dont want no pity, blah blah blah... Cheer up Tuff Guy...

[Raceready]

Mr. Erb perhaps wants to be a big fish in a little pond rather than a little fish in the biggest pond ?

[GA-DIRT]

Is on American Racers maybe too?

[GA-DIRT]

Heard might have switched tire brands, don’t know for sure

[LM1]

That would be good news. There needs to be another tire to compete with the monopoly that the purple mafia has on our sport. Its especially not healthy for the weekend racers to have to pay $200-$300 for a tire that lasts 1-2 nights.

[foxfire2dirtracing]

Is America Race Tires allowed on Lucas/WOO Series ??
Thanks in advance.

[Buford.Justice]

He said many of the tracks on the Lucas Oil tour just don't appeal to him.

Like the ones he doesn't win on? :)

[MasterSbilt_Racer]

They are not allowed

[Raceready]

Like the ones he doesn't win on? :)Are those the ones that are few and far between ? ?

[foxfire2dirtracing]

Thanks MasterSbuilt

I didn’t think so but wasn’t sure. I guess the purple mafia has Lucas/ WOO restricted or vice versa.

[Drop Shock]

Payouts are better than they’ve ever been but they’re still not good enough to keep up with the costs of racing these days. For the money and miles you have to put in it’s really not worth it to run a series unless your per night average winning is up around $4000. So you’re telling me it would be easier for someone like Terbo to do that running with the best pro’s in the country or would it be easier to do racing smart close to the house against regional guys. But yeah I probably don’t know what I’m talking about

I hope this link works...I think some of you will get a kick out of it!

[Raceready]

I sincerely hope that he wasn't trying to make a good impression with that interview ?

[dirtcrazy4u]

Well with the dollars spent by B Shep he should be ready for the nut house because he really hasn't been to impressive since he jumped ship. I realize the blame must have been on Randall, t-mac gets the up the tailpipe and the B5 struggles. Go figure.

[MEE]

let's see, he won a 5K race last week and it was 500 miles one way to that track.Is that what you call racing closer to home?

[MasterSbilt_Racer]

I think that's racing guys who are closer to their homes. Moyer did it well.

[reid boys]

He was in Wisconsin with WOO on Saturday and racing spoon tonight. Quincy isnt not 500 miles from spoon river

[MEE]

my bad didnt know he went to WOO

[Raceready]

"f*#@ that guy" The gall of people now a days that have the nerve to state their unedited opinion !

[foxfire2dirtracing]

^^ looks like a certain someone is back?

[Raceready]

[QUOTE=Illstate32;2483205]^Who, terbo or that snake feller?

[Raceready]

^^ looks like a certain someone is back?He is in a state of excitement in anticipation of watching his favorite driver young Bobby Pierce race tonight at Lincoln ?

[Raceready]

^^ Young Bobby has a trick or 2 up his sleeve ! ^^

[MEE]

What a clown. Now says that he did not drop off the tour and he knew that it was gonna rain out Pondarosa and Florence.Said his mom hates Kevin Kovac !!!!!!!!!! How can any one not like Kovac,he's one of the best out there.

[Raceready]

Speaking of ponderosa and Florence why isn’t that being made up this weekend? I can’t think of year when so many national and big regional events have been rained out more than this year. You’d think Lucas/WoO would try to work the make ups into these off weekends

[Jking24]

This sounds quite a bit Fishy wouldn't you say ? ?No it doesn't because that's not what he said. He basically said he figured their was a high likely hood of pond and Florence canceling so he made the decision to go to Mississippi thunder and if the Lucas shows didn't rain out he was gonna miss them. Kovac called him fishing for a story so he fed Kovac what he wanted to hear. He didn't say he's on our off the tour he said he's gonna race where he wants to and so far he hasn't missed a tour race so technically he's not off tour. The only thing he confirmed is eldora and one of the end of the year shows.

[Highside Hustler25]

There's a fresh 1 lap, 1 beer with dsuave and turbo that I'm sure some of you Erb knut rubbers will enjoy.

[Raceready]

There's a fresh 1 lap, 1 beer with dsuave and turbo that I'm sure some of you Erb knut rubbers will enjoy.I viewed that walk around. Actually he spoke fairly cleanly [for him]. I think he only said the "F -word"about 3 times or so ! !

[Raceready]

Somebody made a comment that he was " Cherry Pickin " at the 5k to win race that he won in Lawrenceburg ? ?

[Jking24]

Somebody made a comment that he was " Cherry Pickin " at the 5k to win race that he won in Lawrenceburg ? ?You gotta love the haters when he's running top ten in lucas he's a nobody but he shows up at a big regional event on a weekend when theirs almost nothing else to race and he's cherry picking.

[Kromulous]

5K in the Bank, and didnt rough up any equipment, I'll take it !

Cherry picking or not.

[MasterSbilt_Racer]

There was a bunch of roughed up equipment, just not his

[Drop Shock]

Raced relatively close to the Best Shop in Ohio and brought home 10 grand in two nights. He’ll be at Lucas oil speedway but you can’t tell some of these guys can’t make more money not running a national tour

[Kromulous]

MBR, i was there, it got wild behind Terbo for sure !!

Yeah 10k is a good weekend, and i think you will see a lot more of these guys fighting to stay alive, fiancially.

[kidrock]

I'm curious to see how many Summer Nationals races he attends this year.

[Mod Runner]

I must admit , I always have to watch Turbo race. I would love to see him get a guest appearance to drive the Rocket 1 house car and see what he could do with it.

[TS FAN]

Turbo smart for choosing to leave Lucas IMO. Nothing against Lucas but there are a lot of other options for sure. Race where you have a shot at winning. Smart way to go

[Pennsboro32]

Looks like he has the majority of the SN races on his schedule.

[kidrock]

I'm not surprised by this. Plenty of 5,000 and 10,000 dollar races to be had on the tour. Lets see what he can do here.

[Dlmfan123]

Dudes nothing but a drama queen and a half assed race car driver

[TS FAN]

Now, that is not very nice. BTW i think he is maturing some. I am not a fan or a foe, but he is a pretty good racer IMO

[Raceready]

^^^ I have faith that you could be quite the up on the wheel man if'n you put your mind to it ! ^^^
