It didn’t help Hudson that the crew cheif for SSI is one of Ricky Thornton Jrs best friends and was helping Thornton with the mods when he left to work for SSI. I think the guys name is Talon not sure the last name, but he is also the one that’s building the new cars, I was told they are going to be called Darkhorse Chassis
He worked for Dunn benson before ssi
Taylon Center. He & Thornton grew up together at Manzanita Speedway. They have been best friends for a long time.
Speaking of Manzanita Speedway, it was a pretty cool place.
Was out in phoenix for work in early 2000's and stopped by on a Tuesday night, and they were having test and tune night.
Stayed all night.
Wednesday I found Flexi Flyer.
great group of folks, made an Indiana boy feel right at home. Spoke to some guys that were planning their trip to the Million Dollar Dream at Eldora.
Every time I went out to Phoenix, I would go to manzanita. it was a cool place. RIP
I hear it's going to be another longhorn driver that takes this ride.
Only bad thing about Manzanita was the area, least at one point it was pretty bad on stuff getting stolen. Haulers parked outside would get broken into when you had to take car and tools and pit in infield.
It was so bad at one point that it was rumored that they could still your hub caps while you where driving your car down the roads in that Mesa area, LMAO
So Oneal isn't going to be in the ride?
When I was there the one year with the Wild West Shootout, they actually said to have 1 crew member stay back at the hauler Incase someone broke into it. It sat right next to a junkyard and there were quite a few people living in that junkyard. But it was pretty funny that when the racing started, those residents would climb stacks of Crushed cars to watch the racing for free lol
EVEN WITH A GUY PAYING FOR EVERYTHING IF YOU DO NOT RUN GOOD WIN RACES A PERSON MAKES NO MONEY!!! NOT KNOCK SHANNON AT ALL I know of guys that had good deals but bad luck and no white horse ride streak it gets old and ya go broke.....lets face it very few teams and drivers make money in racing...
I was thinking the same thing about Davenport lol
I wouldn’t underestimate the resources available on this team.
