    Brian Birkhofer ??

    Saw last night he was obviously at 34 raceway for the Slocum. What’s the deal with the number he was running? Who’s the car owner of the car? Anyone know future plans ?

    Thanks

    It looked to be the same car he ran last year, just had that number on it. Not claiming to know anything, but maybe him and Rauen worked things out?

    Either way, I was happy to see his name back out there.

      Rauen owned car, van Halen album name and it's a new car or was reportedly a new car.

        Clearly there was never a “falling out”. Look for him to be at the track soon!

            Neither Birkhofer or Rauen made the feature? I don't see their names in the results.

              Birkhofer got into the wall in qualifying and didn't come back out for heats.

                Brian needs to get out there more and knock the rust off. He is better than that. Good luck Brian.

                  Brian and Jimmy Mars need to resolve their differences. They once had a great ability to share ideas. Brian needs to settle down and get the past behind him for his own peace of mind. He has nothing to prove.

                    What was the issue between Brian and Jimmy?

                      It’s been a private matter, not out anywhere. I will say, they were both better as a team. Really doing well, then they lost their speed secret for a touch, or had a spat, and broke up. I just remember one minute they were really strong, the next, off a little bit and Birky jumps in a Rocket I think.
                      Up in the air who my next “favorite” driver is. Really losing hope on Bloomer getting anywhere back to “normal”.

                          I don't believe they are. You may be thinking of Simpson and Eckrich.

                            All MB Customs are and always have been designed and built only at mars racing. The Idea that Jimmy owes Brian any money is a myth. Brian only sold a hand full of those cars which he then ordered from Mars. When Brian left for family obligations MB Customs became Mars Brothers Customs. Due to the large volume of orders Jimmy has run a limited race schedule for years. Mars is a Race Car Dealer and deals in new and used Late Models, Mods and MW Mods. Orders are so backed up that Jimmy no longer has the time to even race at home. Mars Racing is also a Rocket Dealer. Mars will be building race cars long into the future.
