    Schlenk & Thirlby - Any know what happen over the weekend between those two?

    Rusty Schlenk (and team) and Brandon Thirlby (along with his brother)
    Anyone know what happen over the weekend between those two?
    It appears they've gotten into a spittin' (you know what I mean) match on Facebook.

    Not trying to start any crap just asking. Seen Brandon made a post and now it's all out b.s.

    They bounced off each other a few times during the feature.

    The deal with Drown and Markham was more interesting to me. Markham dumped him 100%. Those 2 are always beating in each other. Markham got rolled by Drown last year.

      Markham was flying in the feature and it made no sense to me whatsoever why he would work so hard to get to that point then throw it all away just to dump Drown. That was one of the most obvious dumpings that I've ever seen, no doubt that was intentional.

        I was watching Markham most of the race Friday night. He was entering the corners a groove or so higher than all other cars. Going into 3 Markham went hauling in on the top and it appeared Drown moved up a little and Markham wasn't expecting him to and he got into the back of Drown. Bad deal but I don't think it was intentional.

          Must've been something in the air. I seen a video earlier of Weiss and Strand from the wissota race at devils lake speedway.

            Intentional..... Definitely not!!! Markham just miss judged and went in harder than drown with contact made. You could see Markham try not to make contact. Good hard balls out racing

              Wow. I thought Markham was better than that.

                He's probably torn up more competitor's rides at Attica than all other drivers combined. Crewed for a prior Attica regular for 5 years & he wrecked us, gave us flats in heat races, etc., many times. Never felt badly when he got some of his own medicine.

                      Yeah, that FB post is getting out of hand on both sides. Not sure it was real professional to make such a stupid post on Thirlby's part about Rusty needing the extra money for groceries. Yeah, so what, Rusty races for a living and a couple of extra spots on the track does help out. Not everybody goes out and races for a hobby and not everybodys fortunate enough to come from a wealthy family like the Thirlby bros.

                        Racing needs these kinds of rivalries.

                          Did Weiss win? Man, would I have been pissed. Strand ran him clean, and Weiss ran him all over the track. Then body slams him into the wall.
                          Up in the air who my next “favorite” driver is. Really losing hope on Bloomer getting anywhere back to “normal”.

                            Yeah, Ricky pretty much was on the bottom but drifted up the track to door slam him. That was a cheap shot.
