Speedweeks thoughts...

[dirt crow]

The music does need to go before every race. And I’m a metal fan. Something else that’s ran it’s course..... “Coming to you FOURRRRRRRRR WIDEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!”.

[ZERO25]

Gis was way better than it has been!

Eastbay was great.....esp live in person!

Volusia was good.....except last nite!

Black Diamond cars were horrible at Volusia!

Add in Brent Larson in drivers that have to go. When you have to use 6 provisionals to start the feature in the first 6 races it does not say much for your team. Arnie Ranta would be better off getting Terry Casey to drive his cars again, he at least made a couple of features at East Bay by qualifying through either his heat or the b main.

Heck the WoO Late Model series might as well given Donny Schatz an emergency provisionals too.

So...do everyone a favor and share with all of us why you have such a deep-held conviction against Larson...seeing as you're bashing the guy on multiple threads.

Did he take your starting RB position in 6th grade football?
Did he steal your girl in high school?
Is your name Rick Eckert?

Has to be a good reason why you are overly butt-hurt over the whole Drydene deal.

Eshelman has got to let the nickname crap go.

I think the drydene deal is like the Optima battery an e3 plug deal on the Lucas side. Its money the sanctioning body directs toward somebody just to have another car in the field. Carrier didn't need to run Lucas but Lucas made sure somebody decent got the money to add one more to the count.

Wish we were racing somewhere in FLA tonight!!

So...you bought a used snowmobile and it wasn't everything you hoped/thought it would be.

As a result, in order to feel better about yourself, you're going to bash a DLM driver who happens to be sponsored by the person whose company you bought your sled from. Got it.

Sorry you had a bad garage jewelry buying experience.

You asked a question, and I put out some examples.. If you like them, that's fine, just put me on ignore if you don't want to read or like what I post.

The whole fast cars start up front concept has run it's course. People pay to watch the hot-dogs drive up thru the pack. NOT drop the green and take off & see if anyone can catch them. I don't think Shepp's car even got dirty all week besides hot lap mud.

Run your operation as professional as team rocket and I think you'll see improvements. When they pull in to a track, usually one of the first teams, everyone on that team has a job and they are seldom in a frantic situation. Something changes after hot laps and they get prepared for time trails. Mark has a crew like nobody else. Rarely have I seen him turning wrenches. I've always wondered what that team would do if they switched it up and went on the lucas tour for a season.

He didn’t start on the front row every night.

They won third most Lucas races last year in limited action. If they switched tours, I'd expect they'd still be up front.

My speedweek thoughts

Skipped GI for the 2nd year in a row for the Crates at EB. Even though in rained out the crates, 2 days in Tampa wearing shorts and t-shirts is better than wearing Carhartt's in Brunswick.

East Bay had good racing and fabulous weather for the 2nd year in a row. This is my happy place to deal with the winter blues up north.

Volusia had a little weather hiccup early week but racing was great. Boylan's was on point as usual, believe I ate 5 pork chop sandwiches one day. 2 when I arrived in the afternoon, 2 during the racing and 1 before I left.


Did I mention beer, lots and lots of beer. Hurry up Feb. 2020

Mark said the Lucas tire rules keeps them away from Lucas races the most! And their restart rules too. Of course, Rocket 1 would contend for the Lucas title.
