Don't be sad c n b f, you are loved here!

Thanks Buddy. Pretty sure which one you are, but thanks. I feel the love.

Yeah, they are getting pretty creative. Kinda sad though.

I guess it would be if anybody took them seriously.....let them have a little fun and pay them no attention.

It's the attention that's fueling that fire......don't feed the fire, fire goes out.

[Okfine]

No.............

Highside25 maybe I should clarify more, it is his right to do so never said it wasn't but don't ask for pity when you bypass a race at one of your local tracks that is having a regional special then proceed to drive 3 1/2 states away for a regular show in Highland Il.....he hasn't done so this year but in years past he has, I also personally witnessed a tantrum thrown by him at FALs a few years back at the pit shack over their policy of giving checks instead of cash after the night was over......I was a fan until then, his actions were beyond child like and treating people with that much disrespect was final straw, but once again I respect his driving abilities.

I heard the mods here eat the corn out of their own shT!! Is that true?

With a post like that, you'll probably be cream style by morning.

I think Rusty likes to just go to tracks he's not been to just for the change. But then again sometimes I think he might be trying to slip in and cabbage some easy UMP points.

1. He is racing on a tight budget (one car, one motor) 2. He will travel for UMP points, if you are racing for ump points and are the points leader. Why would you race someplace thats not a UMP track. He also dosen't really run his own equipment at Eldora very often. He has but he has blown motors and had bad luck. 3. People boo him at Oakshade because he has won to much. 5 or 6 track titles and before his run in late models he won a lot of sportsman races. Oakshade fans also used to boo Kris Patterson and Shane Yoder for the same reasons. Sick of the same guy winning over and over. 4. I can't think of anyone that helps drivers and especially young drivers as he does. At least not in my area. 5. Their are very few owner/drivers that run as well and accomplish as much he does with the equipment he has. 6. I think anyone that competes has thrown a fit, and that goes for racers also. 7. He races clean every week, and he can wheel the hell out of a car. Two weeks ago he had to borrow a car because his motor was sent out, he won at Attica and ran second at Oakshade. The car he borrowed was no masterpiece. I have talked to him several times at several tracks and on Facebook. You couldn't ask for a better guy, never acts busy or to good to talk.

Only real reason not to like Rusty is that he is just better then everyone else!!!!!.....................

I like the location, LMAO.

[Highside Hustler25]

does anyone know who anyone is anymore

[chupp n bloomer fan]

He loves it down there...

I dunno, might be a little sweaty.

I remember a story about him where at Fairbury he pulled a knife on someone and was escorted off the premise by the Livingston County's Finest....

I think he has put people off in the past along with his pr people always bringing up the shoestring budget, then right after telling us about lack of funds turns around and drives HUNDREDS of miles out of the way past SEVERAL tracks, then claims its a business thing......I understand the amount of cash it takes to run a SLM but to drive dang near four states away from home and to feed fans on it being a matter of dollars and cents makes zero since, and to clarify I am not a Schlenk hater met him few times and he can dang sure wheel a LM.

I have been Rusty's "pr people" for many years with the exception of the 1 year I stepped away as someone else did it and about ruined his credibility in the process. Not one time have I ever said anything about a "shoestring budget" (most drivers operate on one of those). What his fans and other bench racers say is up to them. When you pay his bills you can dictate where and when he races. Until then, sit back and enjoy the show.

It was a box cutter that he already had in his pocket from earlier in the evening and don't forget to mention the 4 guys that were trying to jump him in the pits at that exact moment.
