**MUD MAESTRO** · 12-20-2018, 06:02 PM

Christmas Greetings Magic......Little story for you. Night one at the Knoxville LM Nationals. Sitting in a skybox with a couple of LM HOFamers and other LM junkies, the talk turns to who will win night one. Being the astute LM affectionado that i am, I take the 91. Nothing but blank stares filled the skybox. I took one heck of a razzing for picking someone the boy's discarded as a fluke. Well, we all know the 91 won and i was vindicated. That night I was anointed a true Mud Maestro lol....... Prediction Look for the 91 {Tyler Erb) to move up from #9 on your top 150 list next year.

MontanaMagic1619* · 12-20-2018, 06:19 PM

Yes greetings to you too my ol' friend, and I totally agree, you were very astute to pick Tyler that night, he's come a long way this season, he's a true talent in DLM and I look for him to continue his success in 2019, and yes, I concur, he should no doubt move up next year from number #9 as Ricky Weiss did this year to number #6. It's always good to see good young talent break through in DLM as Devin has this year to number #10. I believe our favorite sport will be in good hands for years to come ( young talent wise ) and if we can get through all the rainouts from this year and have a drier season in 2019. I lost count at 107 this season as far as rainouts and I'm sure there were alot more. Take care of yourself and stay committed to the sport we both care about. Thanks !

MontanaMagic1619* · 12-20-2018, 06:23 PM

Oh, and one more thing Maestro, the guy I'm keeping my eye in '19 is a young driver named Cade Dillard. I like his style and I believe he'll be a force this upcoming year. Just spitballin' here

, but he's my choice for the next up and coming competitive driver !

**kazual** · 12-20-2018, 06:25 PM

Good stuff Sir, thank you very much. A smart guy I know once told me â€œpersonalities will lie to you, numbers never doâ€. Great insight to be derived from your stats.

MontanaMagic1619* · 12-20-2018, 06:44 PM

You got it kazual, great insight and a love of a sport that certain factions have tried to kill off for years, but as long as fans who have their favorite drivers still come to the events and put down their hard earned dollars it will continue to flourish if the weather cooperates that is. I continue to marvel at all the young drivers who continue to plow there way through to success in DLM racing which to me is healthy as all hell just like being a high round draft choice in the NFL. As long as these young men and a few beautiful ladies continue to work hard and learn the intricacies of our sport the skies the limit.

**Illtsate32** · 12-20-2018, 07:57 PM

And Bobby was merely a few laps away from another 250,000 in two other races...I counted 12-13 races Pierce had mechanical failure more than a few of those while leading...I know who Id want in my car in a big race...

MontanaMagic1619* · 12-20-2018, 09:10 PM

I agree with ya Illtsate32, young Pierce reminds me so much of my two all time favorite drivers ( Jeff Purvis ) in dirt late model racing and ( Tim Richmond ) on the national level. Both of those guys had the aggressiveness and willingness to get their cars to the front no matter what. When I watch Pierce I see a great deal of my two favorite drivers in him. When he's on, he can put his ride anyway he wants and at full throttle. He's going to be one of the very best in DLM racing for years to come

**ZERO25** · 12-20-2018, 10:29 PM

Thanks MM, that looks like a lotta work! Ima numbers guy, I like it!

btw....I thought you retired from this! lol

**racincowboy02** · 12-20-2018, 11:14 PM

Thanks Magic for the awesome information.

Now can you give me some details on Cade Dillard Im not real familiar with the name and if you say watch him then i will definitely start watching. ANy other names that yall can throw out to look out for im all ears

**Illtsate32** · 12-20-2018, 11:34 PM

Cade has had some great runs in the usmts mods..and if I recall he has ran really stout in a few big lm races. Id have to see some more film before I form an opinion but I love scouting talent and I totally respect your assessment Montana so I will be keeping an eye on him. My guy im predicting is Weiss, of course hes not a big secret he ran extremely well against the best of the best. With the help of Sweet/Bloom I look for big things out of him. My 2nd up and comer is Chase Junghans, he was starting to blossom at the end of the year with some strong runs, hes been running against top notch competition and its staring to pay dividends. I look for Chase to win 3-4 tour races this year and be potential top 5...

MontanaMagic1619* · 12-21-2018, 12:26 AM

haha, well zero, I'm like Rooster Cogburn, I'm not dead yet pilgrim, I hope to do this a little while longer, and thanks, numbers are special to me since I left college in the 70's and in my job as an engineer.

and cowboy, I saw Cade win a few races this year in my travels and I really liked the way he came through the field to win and he comes from a modified background, but he's got the fire that I like when it comes to ability, he's the real deal, I look for big things from him

as for good young up and coming drivers I like, Cade, Hudson, Max Blair, Tanner English, Kyle Hardy, Mike Maresca, Dylan Yoder, Michael Norris, and most defintely Booper Bare's little one Tyler: now that young man is gonna' be a superstar someday ! Mark my words

and yeah 32, I had Ricky Weiss on my radar five yrs ago seeing a few Wissota races on my schedule, he's finally made it with some great help and he deserves it, nice bright future for him as well, and proud of his wins this year.
