    The racing the second night was awesome up to about lap 30... Oh well.

    Like what Tony said at the end of the race, and how in Earl's honor he rolled the bill of his hat up!! First class!!!!

        Racing was ok; but could have been better. But I'll give the kid his due Bobby Pierce had the field covered this weekend at LaSalle Speedway. Frank Heckenast Jr. put on a show about the middle of Saturday evenings race running the high side until I believe he burnt up his right rear. I'm going to give some praise to Ricky Weiss as he had a decent showing both nights. Landers looked good until about the last 20 laps of the Saturday night show.

        Thanks to Tony Izzo Jr. and the staff at LaSalle for giving us fans and racers a place to go early in the season and put on a show.

          Earlier in the year I read that feger was maybe in development talks with an unknown chassis brand to work with.Just speculation,but he was parked with Chris Simpson and Matt Fuhrman who run Jimmy mars chassis.Maybe he and squirrel are developing mars chassis.Anyone know?

              Feger and Simpson have cheap cars as a sponsor as does Shirley. Simpson and Furman are iowa racing buddies. I would say that is why they were all parked by each other.

                I thought Simpson was in a club29.But the announcer at lasalle said he was in a mars race car.I thought he was wrong.So what is feger running,just his own design.

Hes a decent driver but tends to push it a bit to far at times and can have a decent temper. He's had a few tantrums at our local track
                  I've seen weiss do some stupid things on and off the track. Smart mouth punk burning up the old mans money. Back in 2012 he rolled papa's car over in time trials at the WoO July race. He was telling anyone who would listen how he was going to show the World of Outlaw regulars how to set fast time at Grand Forks! The clown back it up a couple months later doing the same thing during the John Sietz Memorial weeend of racing.

                    Maybe it was the tires?

                      I know, he had a Mars by Berkoffer, before he bought the Club 29. I assumed he sold that car. Does anyone really know?

                      I can see the improvement in C Simpson. I'm not sure if it's the car fits him better or just getting better because he runs against better competition the last couple years. Seems he runs the better paying regional shows and any big shows that are close.

                          In 2013 he had Birkys yellow MB Custom that Birky won with the previous year. He also had a MB that Brian and him put together. In 2014, when Brian switched to Rockets, Chris got one also. He switched off between the MB and Rocket. He seemed to run better in the MB. The yellow MB car was sold to Furman before 2014 and I believe still runs that car. Late last year around September he got the club 29. Sold the other MB and got another club 29 for this year.

                            Well obviously you don't know Ricky very well cause those aren't comments that he would say. I was there for both of the races you are talking about and know exactly what happened and your not even close.
                            And if you think that Ricky is a smart mouth punk go have a chat with Derek he could fill yah in.
                            Ricky doesn't talk like you say he does and is actually quite humble when it comes to these big shows.
                            As for the La salle race it wasn' his car he was driving.

                              This guy Weiss is racing only because his papa is funding the deal, nothing else. He'll stay racing as long as someone foots the bill. The day the money stops thats when the racing ends. I only respect the racers that earned the ride, not born into a ride.

                                So Loosegrip, you don't respect anyone who's family is paying the bill for them? Let me ask you this, if you had a kid that wanted to race, and you had the means to put them in a car, you wouldn't do it? Sounds to me someone is but*hurt because there papa couldn't put them in a car...STFU next time you think you have something intelligent to say...
