Agreed BK, alot of typing to say absolutely nothing. That seems the common thing these days with those that are "smarter" than others. Type alot, say nothing
Chris Tilley Has Left The Southern Nationals

I don’t know it all by a wide margin, but what I know and love about where I was born, raised, and will die isn’t just based on books or on the history degree I earned. Life will teach you lessons if you put aside preconceived ideas and just take in your surroundings.
The South has a complicated and troubled past. There’s no denying that fact and I’m not trying to. Life through work and just roaming has taken me to pretty much every region of this country. I would tell you the stereotypical stuff we get branded with is worse in other parts of the country. It’s just easy (and lazy) to just go along with what you’re fed so people do.
We’re not perfect, I only know of one who is/was although my grandmother was close. The problem with today in general is if you were raised based on traditional family values and biblical principles you’re either intolerant or racist. It strikes me as odd that the party of tolerance is only tolerant to those who agree with them.
You also make reference to the election in your post. You likely assume since I’m a “confederate†I’m an ardent Trump supporter. You’d be wrong in that assumption. I wrote in a vote for Candidate I felt was best qualified to lead in 2016. A wasted vote, but a vote with a clear conscious. This time around I’m still undecided but the further left some head only pushes those like me closer to the right.
You seem like a decent guy. I’m not looking to just continue a argument for arguing’s sake. I just don’t like being labeled something I or the striking majority of people I know are not.

Well said BK. One of my best friends lives in Dalton and a buddy in Chatsworth. I would say that by reading your words they are very similar to you and your thoughts

B_K, instead of parsing or dissecting your post with wordy thoughts you find feeble or redundant my part in dragging this thread away from its intention was to correct your assumption of the origins of my use of the word confederate. Never attacked you or it and didn't, or don't, feel attacked by you.
As an aside I find you to be a thoughtful person and your thoughts on the south and or confederacy are helpful to me but were not my intentions from my original post. My apologies if I made you, or anyone else, feel the need to defend or educate about the confederacy or the South............That's all, period. As mentioned I'm curious as to thoughts about Tilley behind the mic.
Nice and short so as not to offend or bore.

Tom McConnell(or as I called him Tom McCon-Artist) destroyed the original BoB series all by himself, with no assistance from anyoneBecause most people commenting have only known about Tilley the last few years... they weren’t around when he helped destroy the BoB series the first time, destroyed the Advance Auto Parts series, and almost destroyed the SAS series... by himself....Educatio est omnium efficacissima forma rebellionis

he certainly helped (T.McConnell), but it was in decline when he took it over from Spencer Wilson.Originally posted by dirtybird73 View PostTom McConnell(or as I called him Tom McCon-Artist) destroyed the original BoB series all by himself, with no assistance from anyone
for those of you that do not know him, he and James Essex formed/started NARA Series, which was bough out by Forrest Lucas, and became what is known today as Lucas Oil.I think there should be lifeguards in the genepool.

Chris Tilley will always have my support in any way possible! I am shocked that anyone has a bad thing to say about him! He has been great for dirt track racing and the series that he promotes. Who the hell is this goober with the 10 fo 69 mafia name? Must be a total butthurt idiot.When it's time to go, I'll go! Until then I got nothing to lose! -Roy Hall

This was my first time watching the Southern Nationals, thanks to DOD. When I watch a race I want to know about the race and the drivers. I don’t want to hear about politics or religion.
The simple answer is..........start your own series then!
