It's only a 3 HR drive from Shady hill to Thunderbird and roughly 2 hrs from there to I96.

He tapped out.

Don’t take it personal, this stage of his career 2nd in that series means nothing to him. Small team his car has to be getting pretty tired and he has to do a lot of that work himself plus there’s a lot of money on the table the next several weeks.

He wants 100.

Obviously......

sounds like a Moyer move. Drop off the tour when you know you're not winning it. Congrats to Shirley. Well deserved.

Doesnt anybody like a challenge anymore? It could have been a story that sparked interest and drew bigger crowds at these last events. If you cant win, pull er in theory I guess...

I’m sure if you two fund him with brand new car, motor, all new parts he would stay on the tour to finish.

Can’t blame him it’s hard stay on top every little thing before it brakes. Then ever thing starts add up and take a toll on him and his team. 25-30 races back to back makes it hard to fix parts/problems and find other problems in less 12hrs, if they have that at times. Most regional don’t have 30 races a season 😂.

Hmmmm..... Well, he has made it this far. With five races to go and only 56 points out of the lead. Thats a shot at 25 grand. Oh well, I guess he knows best on what to do at this point in the tour. I wish Babb the best of luck going forward.

Not only that but still a chance at $30k still up for grabs at the events. Whether he's had some bad luck or not he's still a threat to win anywhere

Kwd if he would of dropped off the tour while leading points that would be a valid arguement, but we know he wouldnt have he would of finished the tour to try and win it..so the tired equipment (which im sure it is), is not a good excuse. He started out hot, but sputtered down the stretch and lost the point lead, so he packed it in. I just call it like I see it...

Someone sent me a pm yesterday saying he's running last year's rocket and has a new one with 7-8 races on it.

That be true.

And like someone else stated, with I 80 and the PDC coming up (2 races he fairs very well at), he needs to go over his equipment. He's had a lot of parts failures. Maintenance program is essential if you think yer gonna compete with the top tier competitors.
