In the late 60’s my dad was in the pits at Peoria and there was a race car that was pretty beat up on the outside. He was looking at it and noticed the interior was extremely nice (for its time). Dad asked the driver why it was so beat up on the outside but so nice on the inside. The driver replied “because “John Connolly hasn’t figured out how to get in there yet!â€
Apparently, that driver had put Connolly in the fence early in the year and John spent the rest of the season making sure he remembered it.
Let them police themselves.

One thing I have noticed is that that it seems nothing matters on the car, except the nose. 15 years ago, if you had your spoiler half torn off, you were done. now these guys drive so aggressively, they dont care if they rip the quarter panel off, the spoiler off, the side off..as long as that big nose is planted, and the rear of the car itself acts like the spoiler, they drive over their heads and bonzai every corner, every lap.

IMO one of the reasons for the curbing of fights is to do with exposure of sport on TV apps etc. The old days are gone and not coming back. However if the series is going to curtail fighting then they should penalize bad actors more often.
It is entertaining to see a lot of bump and banging, but there is a bit too much bonzi type racing going on. Tearing up a lot of equipment and even worse many are the back markers struggling to just make laps. T Mac is speaking the truth and facts

Old Barefoot Bob didn't take any crap for sure. He couldn't afford to! He was the Shoestring Traveler of the DIRT modified guys.Originally posted by dirtcrazy4u View PostRemember Timmy was in the pits with his dad for years. He is right, you pulled crap like that on the track you better have to be able to defend yourself in the pits. It may not happen immediately but finding a guy taking a nap at the end of the night was not unusual. Racing has changed, these cars are store bought
