Straight Axle???

Yesterday took skills. Today takes money.

I highly doubt the rule change is over Kirkpatrick. The dude still hasn’t raced worth a crap ever.

How many other axle cars are out there Bayko? Your logic should be what Dirtcar is using, but it isn't.

There’s no actual proof that it is illegal at this point. It’s just this perennial backmarker’s word that thinks he understands chassis dynamics than anybody else. There’s that.

This guy also openly tells anybody who listens that he builds cars outside of the rules and has shocked pikachu face when the people who make the rules push back. There also that.

Bayko, if the car was outside of the rules why do they need to make a new rule to outlaw it ?

[dirtcrazy4u]

Picacho face ? I haven't laughed that hard in awhile.

I applaud the guy. I see nothing wrong with what he did.

Josh Bayko, running second to McDowell at Smoky Mountain, beating Overton for a win at Cherokee, having one of the very fastest cars at Charlotte hands down is what you call a “perennial backmarker”? I’ve seen some ignorant posts from you before, and this one just reinforces my knowledge of your ignorance.

I meant Marler at Smoky Mountain, sorry.

It seems Bayko isn't impressed with Kirkpatrick and how he handles himself. The exaggerated description of his results aside, Bayko makes a point. You can be fast a lot longer if you do it quietly. A winners interview where he talks about how he drove a good race and no DoD interviews, he's still legal and getting better.

When did he have one of the fastest cars at Charlotte? Or were you referring to the testing a week before? Did that pay $12k to win???

Thanks for providing supporting details to my post above.

Second night qualified top five, won the heat and was DQ'ed from a front row starting spot in the feature. I'm not saying that was a World 100 victory, but my argument is to challenge Bayko's claim of "Perennial Backmarker".

To build on mastersbilt_racer point about how it is an unneeded rule. Let’s say it is better than independent front. Add up the costs of an independent front suspension. For the costs of a set of cheap uppers you could easily fab your own straight axle. Many sprint car guys build a simple jig and build 3-4 spares at a time for about $100 each. I’m not saying it is better or worse, I am just pointing out they are simple to self build, simple to replace and much cheaper than a full front end set up.

I have been impressed by Kirkpatrick and love to see guys bring a different mouse trap and do well. The debate on which is better somebody can always make an argument, that’s not the point of the post or rule. What made late models cool is guys can be different.
