      If you gear the car correctly, you probably aren’t popping the motor. There’s that.

        Wuss he said it bent the clip so they have to tear the car down and take it to longhorn and have it clipped.

          They don't have welders at Bob's shop. Thinking here, that frame is really bent and there going to get a new one. There choice, I do agree the knoxville race has lost what it started out to be. Leave it 100 laps, set up and strategies and 100 laps won't be a issue

              Although I agree it didn't look that bad but, if you actually seen the car then one would realize how bad the car really is. I mean do think they would be sending the car to Longhorn if it wasn't that bad.

                Young Bobby sure got his moneys worth out of that car that he retired after the World 100 crash. 24 wins to its credit in part of 1 season ! ! The car paid for itself many times over ! !

                  I dont think gearing is a problem at Knoxville, the engine has to be to breathe a little. Being wide open the entire time isn't a good recipe on an engine, especially when the shaker caked with mud.

                      He was watching on the telly and they didn't show it. In other words, it didn't happen.

                        That Thirsty Thursday $1 Busch Light thing cracked me up the first time I was there.

                        I went down for a beverage run and seen the price. I bought like ten on the first go for me and my buddy. When I walked into the bar area I was lonesome, except for all the bartenders willing to wait on me. I was laughing and she said, "What's so funny?" I told her that where I was from you'd be backing up your next tractor trailer by now and you'd be three deep at the bar. I live around a lot of beer drinkers.

                        I took some photos and we sent them back to a track owner and some bar owners I know. I think my track owner friend actually did it once or twice at his speedway after that.
                        Political correctness,...is the inability to speak the truth about the obvious.

                          I’ve got to ask this question since I’ve never been to either track. Both are 1/2 mile tracks what is the difference in Knoxville that makes it worse on engines than Eldora ?

                            Eldora doesn’t seem like a true half mile, and Knoxville looks like the size of WVMS

                                Pretty sure Knoxville is a half mile around the bottom. Eldora is a half mile around the outside wall.
