    Guys like Rauen, Bowyer, and Rocket1 keep S&S busy.

    I’m fortunate work right by the place and they got new stuff rolling out about every month.

                I would tend to agree about Birky but most of the guys going this w/e haven't even seen Mansfield so I'd say that will even things up a bit..

                Given Birky experience he'll do just fine IMO

                  So he's already raced this year and was competitive, but you think this weekend with a brand new car he won't be competitive?

                      I enjoy watching birky wheel a car and hope to see it more.. was funding a big reason he retired so quickly? I know everything about super racing is crazy out of hand expensive, but I was under the impression his family was wanting him to get out. Or his wife.. I can’t imagine a guy as talented as birky would have a hard time putting something together.. I’m sure Vic hill wouldnt mind throwing him a engine..

                          I don't have a thing against Birky, but to go to a race of this caliber of drivers, alot who have raced at Mansfield already, and think he'll be competitive, just isn't gonna happen. Now if he raced as much as the WoO and Lucas guys and went up there with the "top notch" equipment, then yeah I'd say he'd be a factor.

                            Lucas has only raced there twice I believe. Most don't have much track time there. Except maybe Bloomquist and Moran.

                              He has top notch equipment. A brand new Black Diamond and the car owner is partners with Stuckey in different deals, so I would say he has as good of stuff as EPJ. He may not have as many laps as most of the guys, but he isn’t going to be out to lunch either.

                                I would assume that driving a dirt late model would be like riding a bike once youve done it once you could pick back up with it and do it again. I know the cars from when he was running regularly to now have changed and the shock game is more important but come on if hes got a good crew chief that has been around the game and a good car which a new black diamond doesn't sound to bad then he could go and be competitive
