    Are you really blaming Scott's downward spiral on losing Mallory? Come on now, you're smarter than that.

      As I've said several times, Mallory has picked up some tricks moving around in the sport. Is he going to teach Rumley about physics? No

        I won't argue the fact that he has knowledge pertaining to the sport. In today's age, help is hard to come by and is why teams pick him up. The baggage and on track antics are what makes one wonder if it's worth the hassle.
        The only thing he could teach Kevin is how to throw a tool onto a active race track to cause a caution. Or maybe swiping your bosses credit card ,# to use at a later date.

            Or how to get kicked off a moving mini bike…….how to get arrested without causing a scene at a race track or how to work a week without bathing?

            All redeeming features any parent would want their child to learn, no?
            Where is the move over flag when you need it?????

              Cody has demons, no doubt. But, if you want someone that can read a racetrack and set the car up to match what you'll need in longer races. He is one of very few out there. Does he have problems ? Yea, but don't most of us ? Some just make believe there a saint.

                I don’t think any of us are saints , and most of us aren’t even douche bags(depending on who you ask,lol)

                My issue with him is the whole deadbeat dad thing…….he can shave all the time off a lap that he wants, he needs to shave a few Hundo off the top of every paycheck for his kid before he does anything else.

                    Back to the original topic, just watched his interview on Flo. They were discussing the track at PRP. I couldn't stop laughing when he said the track surface was fine. Likeable kid. Good vid.

                      He's from a part of the country where that gritty red clay truly does rubber, and sometimes very quickly. PRP was excellent compared to that. But, I get you, it was good for him.

                        Maybe somebody will put instead of a " Getting out in clean air is huge " type of message in their posts a message that reads " Starting on the pole in the first heat on a One Lane Freight Train track is huge " ? ? LOL ! !

                          He does say he's very accustomed to those kind of track conditions. Explains his savy for the last 60 laps. Hard to knock a track when you just won 100g even though everyone probably disagrees.
