I've posted this a few times, but like Barbeque Boy, I was at the Race For Kids. And while BBQ had a lot better reasons for speaking highly of Jackie Boggs, mine were just based on what I saw on the track and afterwards. The look on that man's face when he was being interviewed and the way he roared off while Rambo was being interviewed...and Rambo's face while witnessing it unfold was classic.

But what really impressed me was the battle he waged with Casey Roberts. That's why I love this sport. He battled with my favorite driver and ran hard and clean. A lot people might not take a likin' to someone competing hard against their guy, but I appreciated the way he raced. Then on top of it he had the lead taken from him on a fluke, so he was a sympathetic underdog by the time the checkers flew. He never gave up though.

Before the race started the crowd wasn't very loud in support of the 4b, but when it was over they sure were. But what really sealed the deal for me was when I saw the highlights on DoD and the respect Casey and Rambo gave him. So reading what BBQ Boy had to say only confirmed what I suspected...he's one of the good ol' boys.

Have to agree with Purvis. One of the best that's for sure.

Feger and Ferguson. Both small money guys, but do well against the big money guys. Both very likable people as well.

On a regional or local level, Nick Latham. Nick is a good friend of mine and has improved a ton over the last couple years.

Well if you go back a few years. Tom Nesbit, Charlie Swartz, Leon Plank and Ed Sanger. Were my favorite and I still Talk to Tom and Ed. This is when it was called a Late Model Special they paid $1000.00 to win. The average car count was around 65.

A local favorite was Dave Adams and Jeff Hinkelmeyer.

Charlie Swartz was the man.
Jackie boggs - his relationship with kids drew us to him, my granddaughter loves him.

[pink floyd]

I like him a lot............I was going to add him to the list instead of Brady since he is retired, but still a huge fan of Brady and some of his sponsors that we know personally....and just wanted to see his name again in a slm dirt racing discussion.

brady was one of my favorites also, the last time i saw him was at tri-city three years ago if my memory is correct. one heck of a driver!!

[FastEd95]

Josh Richards, I always used to root for him before I was into dirt racing and just watched the races occasionally on TV. Now that I'm a huge dirt fan Josh is still my favorite because he is always trying to win. You rarely see him make a decision because it makes sense for point racing, or to not tear up equipment. He wants to win and does whatever he can to try to make that happen. From talking to him a few times he is a nice guy and always answers questions from fans, and other drivers as well.

Gregg Satterlee, when I first started going to races in the Mid Atlantic when I moved here I was not a fan. Every time he unloaded he seemed to win. As time went on though I met him a few times (my dad is a huge fan of his, and I usually try to get him a t-shirt or hoodie every year at the World Finals) and he is one of the nicest people. Always clean and respectful and he drives the car hard as well. It helps that he runs a Rocket as well.

Others that I root for, B. Shepp, Eddie Carrier, Sam Gallagher (LLM), Darin Henderson (Crate), Russell Erwin (SLM, LLM, Mods), Dustin Strand, Jeremy Keller, and I was a Tim Fuller fan when he raced SLM and I root for him now on the very rare chance I go to a BBM race that he is running in. I wish Birky would come back too because he would be right up there as well! Lastly, my previous favorite local driver JT Spence retired last year but I was definitely a big fan of his (even though the last race he ran was in a Club 29).

Thanks,
Jeff.[/QUOTE

Do you own stock in Rocket? There's some diehard JD and bloomer fans on here, but (not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word) Jeff you beat them by a long shot!! Is there any other brand out there in your eyes? Mark has got to put you on the payroll for promoting the brand like you do!

Very same can be said for at least one Longhorn Rumley groupie. But that's the brand you like, so obviously Jeff takes the cake. But there's some icing being gobbled by the Longhorn faithful too. Personally, chassis means nothing to me. Bloomer, T-Mac, Weaver, Rooster, Richards, and so on. But there is two Longhorns in my little list there.

I can assure you the day Rocket becomes publicly traded I will certainly be doing some more investing!

Yeah, I do have a few other brands that I don't mind. For instance I promote a Modified series (MidAtlanticMods.net) and one of our sponsors is Lazer Chassis, they make Mods and Late Models. If I ever get a chassis that isn't a Rocket it would probably be a Lazer. I also don't mind MB Custom, and Victory Chassis as I like that they are providing a chassis company to areas that otherwise wouldn't have their own chassis. I also really don't mind Capital cars either.

Thanks,
Jeff.
