I-80 Saturday night updates

[Pennsboro23]

If a team can afford him to keep racing with as hard as he is on equipment. Idk if I'd say he's the best on the cushion, Babb is def up their. Babb runs whatever line the car an track gives him an does it well.

Just wondering why you dislike Bobby so much?

I80 seldom disappoints

Why wouldn't I? I get just as tired of ignorant comments in person as I do reading them.
It's too bad that a guy can start 28th, drive to the lead halfway thru the race & lead until 4 to go when the engine gives up and all the huggers can do is talk about how he don't know what he's doing. I knew after Scott didn't win that this board would be full of bashing other drivers, but I didn't think it would be this asinine.

Let's talk about Scott dooring Richards, lets talk about Scott pinching Pierce off down the frontstretch? He such a great driver one can only assume both moves were on purpose right? There, I stooped to the level of this board!

Bobby Pierce is no harder on engines than anyone else. Just having some bad luck right now.

Thank you. I seen him run a handfull of times this year and his motor pitch sounds no different than anyone else. The last four years with PP in the Pierce car I think I remember maybe 1 blown engine. If anything its geared to low or something, But people putting the blame on Bobby saying hes too hard on them is downright outlandish.. I would take that as a badge of honor that an engine cant be built to stand up to Bobbys right foot lol...

Never said it was specifically Bobby, but top notch parts dont just fail all the time. You have to have fuel or oil or other issues to just blow engines consistently.

It was hard for me to watch I can only imagine the heartbreak he and his team felt, 53k would of gotten them a fresh motor of their choice..maybe lol..

It appeared/sounded to me like it dropped a valve on lap 74ish and yes it did sound like he was turning more RPM then most of the cars.

Also remember in the B or last chance race (forgot now) bobby lost half of the header and that was one of the cautions to remove the header that someone ran over. That could have had an effect on the exhaust valve, that I think let go but again dropping a valve is a guess from what I heard on the track.


Second note: the engine was still running when he stopped on the back stretch and continued to do so for a long time way after he got out of the car. I heard someone say it wouldn't shut off with the ignition switch so may had an ignition problem causing the failure but I find that unlikely.

If the engine wouldn't cut off then the engine was so hot that it couldn't cut off. Somebody on another thread said you could smell the engine under caution. Ive seen people run a motor so hot that they had to take a water hose to the motor to get it to shut off. Most people would have pulled in long before bobby did but when your not paying the bills and its 53 grand you stay out until the motor melts down.

That poster knows the difference between running and dieseling because it was hot. Water would be pushing out at that point.

Pierce Sr used to always signal him to stay out in the Summernationals and Midwest. He was taught to stay out till she can't go. You could smell, hear and see those engines blowing up, we'd sit up in the stands and shake our heads in disbelief.

Not if there's no water to push out. Could have had a rock go through the radiator if you start dieseling it means you lost the water a long time ago. Like. I said someone who was there said you could smell the motor cooking before he stopped.

Just thinking.....one pp motor blown up 40 grand. 53 thousand winnners share up in smoke. Hey, for 93,000 dollars was there a manufactures warranty?

[ALLDIRT]

[Mindwalker]

[kidrock]
