      My choices

      Veteran-Randle Chupp
      Engine-Andy Durham
      Chassis-Rocket XR1
      Crew-John Watson helping him

      Young guy-Either Jared Miley or Dave Hess Jr
      Engine-Andy Durham or Cornett Ford or Chevy
      Chassis-Rocket XR1 or Sweet-Bloomquist
      Up in the air who my next “favorite” driver is. Really losing hope on Bloomer getting anywhere back to “normal”.

          He said SOME money not unlimited money lol. I may go with a guy we haven't heard from much to drive for a while and see how it goes. Rodney Sanders. He seems like he has a lot of potential and has had some great runs in not many races, usually a factor when he shows.

          I'd buy a used rig, one nice brand new Rocket car and brand new Cornett engine, then probably buy a nice used car and fresh used engine of the same to keep as a backup car just to start with.

          Run some regional races, there are some stout regional cars in Arkansa/Missouri/Illinios/Mississippi and see how it goes if everyone gets along and is running good at that level before we take the plunge to buy more equipment and go flirt with the national series.

          The only thing worse than running bad is running bad and still being 15-20 hour drive from home.

                  Better than a Go Fund me....

                  I'd hire Jason Welshan with Longhorns and Madden's crew. Then id race everywhere John Ownby does.

                    That team did not have big money. Far from it. At least in 2003 when I drove car.
                    They were a weekend warrior team.
                    I set track records at Voluisa Speedweeks in a 4 year old wide rail rocket. then made North South in a used Rocket. Which got wrecked pretty bad there in N/S feature. team was out of money. My father bought a new chassis and old components were bolted to it. First time out was at World 100. made that show 1st try, in a new car. that same car also made the DTWC in 2003 as well.

                    team owners were tobacco and cattle farmers.
                    in 2004 a second car was added partially funded by Steve Cayton of Central Painting in Ky.
                    John Gill was named as driver.
                    both teams raced 1 Friday night at Barren Co speedway.
                    Bluegrass speedway was rented for testing for gill because he complained about carbs and motors.
                    (something I complained about from the start) But since John Gill said it, it was golden.
                    I was let go the following week, and John Gill became their new driver.
                    Then it was, Jimmy Owens, then Don O'Neil
                    they did buy a toter home and stacker sometime along the way. But ran out of money I believe.

                    Went back to mods in 2004 and have had a great time there as a family operated team.
                    I think there should be lifeguards in the genepool.

                      I would hire: Hudson O'Neil, with Bloomquist Chassis, and if he wouldn't sell me the cars we needed, then Longhorn, he made the mistake once so he might not make it again, Chris Fox would come out of retirement and run the team on a daily basis. Motors would be Andy Durham or Jack Cornett Fords. I feel like Championships would be won within five years or less!!

                        Well I believe his some money real equals to lot, lot, lot of money. When you say "Madden,Davenport,Jeff Cooke let the drivers bring who they trusted to crew chief" you going need more than some money lol.
