Vado

[fastford]

The aero was taken away in the 80s. Can be again. Shocks don't scare me at all. They can only do so much (build resistance based on shock velocity) and the quality has been good for years. I can ask a good shock guy to do whatever I need.

There's plenty of things that are maybe "shock-like" that can be done. I have the knowledge to do it, but not the time to test it.

As Ive said before, aero isn't cheap. My engines that used to be good enough are not now. The toll on engines is why the wedge was killed. It doesn't stop at the engine either. Every component experiences more stress with all the load on the car and drive train.

in the 90,s a weaker spec engine was given a 12 inch spoiler and a weight break , the average engine cost 10 grand and could win a race every now and then in the slick , the spoiler was taken away and the cheaper engine became irrelevant , cost of racing engine wise went up , this is just one example where taking this simple cheap aero away increased cost , we can argue this point till the cows come home , but I still say aero is the cheapest speed out there , maybe not in the beginning with the expense of research , but now any decent body builder can duplicate todays bodies with on problem ......

Thanks  I need to get out there. Looks like a great track.

Had you made it there yet ? Looked like J.D. and Bobby held down the front tonight ? ?

Ive herd aero till I,m about sick of it , Its here , never going away , every one has it , its what is next that worries me , because to be honest , aero is cheap because the money was spent in the beginning with the wind tunnels and all and is easily copied now , but what's next may not be or become as cheap , like shocks , suspension pieces and drive train , I,m a engine and back yard fab person , I can build a lot of things but the technology in some of these shocks and such I cant .....

Vado speedway really is a beautiful setting, they have to be proud of that thing……everything just seems so ironed out , neat orderly and it just flows ( no pun intended) so nicely from a visual standpoint.

The local guys must love pulling into the gates every week.

Just blame it on Bobby. Ha ha

trust me I do it’s almost comical Pierce’s never thrown a bad slider in his life in his mind and TMAC will throw a slider and during the interview from the podium which is where he usually belongs says I hope I give so and so enough room and the replay will show he had the guy cleared by two car lengths … Bobby rarely pulls out of it he figures if the guy can’t keep it square when I hit him broadside he shouldn’t be out here

The aero isn't leaving until the rules people take it away.

Facilities are really nice. The track itself is decent.

Careful crossing the Mississippi on your way out there with all that bullshhht you carry. You might collapse the bridge.

How do they get some of the politicians across The Big Muddy then ? Do they send them on a ferry ?

[Black F]

If so. I hope you have a really really great time at the event !

his idea of a good time is attempting not to put colorful square blocks in the round holes lol.
