    I didn't figure it would. I think Culp is probably better in his own stuff. IMO, GRT is just a little behind. That car looked horrible.

      Culp switching to XR1s, too. Must have been a pretty tense week.

        I think he said in Shelton's sidebite on DoD that the car he was in was a 2016. Seriously Joe Garrison.......

          I believe the black car is a 2017. The white one is a 2016. The house car deal didn't come together till December, so I wouldn't be surprised if he was running a 2016 car. As much as Culp has played the chassis game with very little success. Maybe it's not Garrisons fault. Culp is no different than Tony Jackson.

          GRT mods are the cats meow particularly in the IMCA ranks. They seem to win every (not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word) weekend in my area.

            Hopefully they can get that program pointed back in the right direction. Would love to see a guy like Josh Putnam get an opportunity like that House Car. Culp didn't look awful at the end of the last year in GRT cars so there must be something there to work with.

            Thanks,
            Jeff.

                GRT makes a good modified but there are so many decent regional manufacturers popping up all over the place. A few years back in my area there were a fair number of GRT's around but now there are none or very few. Razor, Banshee, SSR, and Madman seem to be the ones up front. The last guy to wheel a GRT towards the front destroyed it two years ago and went in a different direction.

                    The 2016 IMCA Modified Champion Jordan Grabouski was in a GRT. They should give him a shot he made the big show at Silver Dollar Nationals two year ago in Jason Krohn's stuff,and Im not sure if that was his first time in a late model or not.
                    Only in racing does a person knowingly put on a dud show, and then blames everyone else for not appreciating their dud show.

                      I believe you will see Wendell Wallace and Joe back together soon. Culp is just another Tony Jackson Jr. he's more worried about strutting around the pits looking cool than he is being a car racer. I really can't believe his father in law hasn't pulled the plug he's a really nice guy spending way too much money switching chassis every other month trying to find the magic.

                        First off this Grt "house car ride" is basically Grt gives you a chassis to use and that's it. No motors, no hauler, no financial support other than a chassis. While a free chassis is nice, it's funny to hear people say house car ride like it's all Grt's stuff and a huge loss to lose it.

                            They run well in IMCA cause the frame mounting locations are moved/cheated up. They got busted for it once but i'm pretty sure they are back at it again. GRT is a huge gimmick seller, every week something "new" and "trick" they are trying to sell you. Last person i saw go fast in a late model was Randy Weaver.
