    Eastbay Today

    Stopped by east bay today, and the sweeteners plus rig was parked down from pit entrance. Also there was an Arnie Ranta sponsored modified, who drives it?

    Somewhere I read the other day Tmac was suppose to be testing there coming up. Can't remember where I saw that though.

      Just my opinion but I think there needs to be an end put to testing sessions. Possibly just limit it to the day prior to the event. It costs too much and gives unfair advantages to those that can afford to do it. Just ask NASCAR.

        WoO has something they implemented I think last year or the year before. Not sure if Lucas has the same rule.

            Lucas doesn't allow testing within a week of an event, I believe.

                  Maybe......this whole deal is a joke.

                  Theres many ways for the owner to transfer the rigs ownership to Timmy and release him of all liability!

                    Mostly agree. Nascar screwed up with the testing ban! And they know it! Brought on pull down rigs, wind tunnels, simulation, tons of engineers, etc. Sound familiar!! those with money will usually have an edge though! One way or another!

                      Tulsa is a boring town. I don't believe a late model race was there either. Not on my radar.

                        NA$CAR screwed up when Brian France won the sperm race.
