Wells, Junghans, Bags, Frankie, Overton? Please, their are lots of guys that could produce the same or better results with the proper funding and help. Folks seem to not realize that the help is a very important factor in running a series. Not everyone can quit their day job and travel the Country with a touring series. Do the research and you'll find the above mentioned drivers have some serious $$ backing. Give that same financial backing to a slew of racers and a top 5 in WoO is not a longshot at all.8/13/16

lol I'm sure if he could get $300,000 then winnings and merchandise would be profit. How did Overton run the series with one car and motor? I'm sure people on here would have laughed at that and would have claimed you need "500k".lolOriginally posted by hucktyson View PostSomeone only has to write him a check for about 300k and he would have to find a job that accommodates that schedule because even with the infusion of 300k he would still break even. I'm sure he would win some races and I'm sure he would spend a fukton of money and have nothing but those trophies to show for it .

I was thinking about what I said on the subject last night and I think I may have let me inner Fergy Fan Boi get the best of me. I would have pegged Overton for a possible top 5 in WoO or at least to have done better than he did last season, but experience on a tour and having limited resources did hold him back.
Fergy has the talent, but he may need a full year on the road to begin to realize his potential as a tour racer...even if he did have a well funded team. He was able to beat the WoO guys on his home turf, set quick times everywhere and perform well in heat races and shorter features, but he really seemed to struggle in the longer races. I know sometimes he pulled out to save his stuff, but that was usually only after he fell back from starting at the front.
That is what concerns me with Fergy right now. It's similar to how Randy Weaver ran this year. When he started up front in shorter races, no one could touch him. If he didn't start up front in longer races and against top competition, in general, he struggled. Fergy has time on his side right now, but even as someone that sees his potential, he has to get the chance and then prove he can do it before predictions of a top 5 in points....even on the WoO tour is warranted.
