SSI's part time this year was better than the full time with Hudson. Results talk BS walks.....

That's a pretty bold statement

Oh ffs, kid had 5 wins last year. You may not be a fan, but his results were impressive and his talent is undeniable.

I like Hudson. Heck, I like Buckingham and his reasons for leaving are absolutely respectable. If you’re not 100% committed and putting racing first, you’re doing everyone, including yourself, a disservice.

And I’m sure he’s realizing his kids are only going to be younger(not sure on ages), for just a little while longer. And then starting a family and going in their own direction.

I’m realizing that with my kids, 14&8, so I’m trying to vacation every year.

I liked Buckingham, clean racer, and nice guy. I wish him much success in life, with his endeavors.

Similar to Best. Said they were cutting back to regional racing, Richards leaves for Boywer and then back on a national tour with Terbo not long after.

JMO, but I think they prolly would have done exactly what they said had Terbo not come along. Tyler seems to be more a 'partner' in that deal than just a hired driver. I think Tyler has sufficent backing, but by teaming up with BEST, neither team has to carry the full financial responsibility, Tyler also got a dang good crew chief to help him out. This type of deal doesn't always work out, but it seems to be a win/win for Tyler and BEST.

By what metric?

Quality finishes vs torn up equipment

Quality finishes vs torn up equipment

Think I'm gonna need a list of parts and finishes. Hudson isn't known for tearing cars up. I guess it didn't count against SSI when Stapleton car went upside down with RTJ behind the wheel.

Don't forget to annualize it somehow, Hudson raced every week.

I thought Hudson did very well in the ssi equipment especially considering he was touring. I don't think you can compare what rtj has done to what Hudson was doing fairly. Same owner but two very different sets of circumstances. I think the are both really impressive

I agree completely. It's easier to target certain shows instead of grind on tour. Both are guys I'd let drive a car of mine anytime.

Double Down will have an announcement this weekend or early next week.

It didn’t help Hudson that the crew cheif for SSI is one of Ricky Thornton Jrs best friends and was helping Thornton with the mods when he left to work for SSI. I think the guys name is Talon not sure the last name, but he is also the one that’s building the new cars, I was told they are going to be called Darkhorse Chassis

[Dlmfan123]

He worked for Dunn benson before ssi

Taylon Center. He & Thornton grew up together at Manzanita Speedway. They have been best friends for a long time.
