What rotten luck. They mentioned last night he was reconsidering his racing program for the season.

He's just crying about how expensive things are in racing an having mechanical problems an qualifying bad so getting caught up in wrecks.

That's not the only thing that they take issue with. I talked with his wife Michell for about 15 minutes at Kankakee on Friday at their Merch tent behind the grandstands after the heat races. It's a long story. Just some b.s. that happens behind the scenes that many fans don't know unless they were told about. No, I'm not going to spill the beans here on an internet forum. Go talk to her yourself. She was very nice to talk to. It was a very enlightening conversation.
Good luck team 24 and the "El Paso Express" the rest of the season.

That's part of the racing politics.

Tell us 84wedge. You started the post. Guess it must be too long a story according to HDF. 🤔

[84wedge]

I was just talking about his races lately. From points champ on MARS to nothing but problems. I'd like to hear the story from Hoosier too.

He had a nice rebound at Fairbury. His crew and helpers got the car back together and with an all black new bodywork and no graphics he qualified well and finished third in the main. He looked to be his usual smooth self.

I've seen some of the reports of, broken transmission, broken rear end, getting caught in someone else's mess. Hard to point to just one thing. It has been some bad luck overall but he did win a MARS feature a couple weeks back.

Everyone has bad luck and good luck. His luck is no worse than anyone else's. Racing is a very tough sport, every team out there struggles sometimes and works hard to overcome challenges. Club24 just talks about their bad luck more. Pity party.

Hard to feel sorry for anyone who has a stacker

[Highside Hustler25]

Got to respect a guy who goes out on a limb and competes in a chassis nobody else does.
And yes, he's definitely had a rough start.

I get what you're say but that stacker isn't his. Ryan's dad owns it. Didn't know if you knew that or not.

[Kromulous]

At the end of the day, its a LUXURY to be able to race anything.

I would realign my view point, and try to keep that in mind going forward.

I'm not bashing ryan but most guys with a stacker don't actually own it. Wtf does that have to do with anything. I'm sure theirs quite a few things in his racing operation that his dad owns. The point of the comment about not feeling bad for a guy is he could have a near brand new truck and trailer aswell as two brand new cars and a whole arsenal of engines for what that staker cost not to mention the cost of running and maintaining it. Everything is realative

[Highside Hustler25]

I've yet to see 2 cars on a open trailer.

[Jim11h]

You ain't lookin hard enough. I've seen Johnson group in steel block series roll in with 2 on 1. Moni stocks double up.

[Snake X3]

I was never an Unzicker fan because it sickened me the way DoD was always ridiculously positive about him, but after watching all the MARS races the past couple of years, I've grown to like the guy. He races hard, seems to work hard and he's a good driver. Seems like a nice guy. I've never seen him cry about his situation, but I don't doubt it either.

[Kromulous]

Double Stacker Open Trailers are way cool, soon a couple in my days.

[Raceready]

How about the old boys in the logging business that would chain the boom to the roll cage and pick the whole car on up and then set it on down in the pits ?
