As for kids in the sport i think they degrade the image, regardless of their talents little league is little league and there needs to be a place for that. Hence the age limits at tracks like eldora.
    born in 1998 i would say a kid

        As far as I know, there is no connection with John. All of that stuff is gone. This car was put together by James. James was gone out of town, Josh asked to drive while he was gone, and they went from there.

          Glad to see Rice back in a LM, it was a good race to boot with Gill chasing lap after lap.

          Crate race was good also.

            All of his cars are not gone and no he wasn't in one of kuzmans cars Saturday,but my sources say he will be back in one soon and the rocket is not as old as you think or is the motor a weak one

              I hope the Rice youngsters both get out there again. Josh is an especially good talent. I would not be surprised to see him get a decent ride next year.

                It certainly is a good car, or he wouldn't have won the race. He is a fine driver, but it isn't like he was winning every week before.

                    Why does he have to "get a ride" ?

                    Be your own man, get your own stuff and go at it. Do the best you can, and at the end of the day you don't have to answer to anyone.

                    Just say no...

                      Just looking at the pics, if it's an 03, it definitely has updates. The cage has that tube from the front of the cage down to the door at that Rocket didn't start doing until late 05.

                          ptown you are a complete moron! you have nothing good to say about any of the young guns of this sport that we all love... Id almost bet that you have never even ventured out of your house to watch a GOOD Latemodel race now have you dumba$$? If you are soooooooooo GOOD then why dont you climb your happya$$ in a car yourself and go out and see how well you do!! Oh wait that would require you coming up out of your moms basement and actually stepping outside you freaking rere.....
                          If you can't race it or take it to bed! It ain't worth having!

                            I remember when Walter Burson who was the technical for The STARS travelling series was paranoid that Chub Frank was going to break his scales because it was so old and heavy. They later found out that the car had somehow filled up with water over the years. They didn't know whether in was condensation, water from washing it, or rain water blowing down in it driving down the road on the flat trailer or what. At any rate he was still winning several races a year right up until the season that he started running the Bullitt cars.

                              I think I saw either James or Josh say it was one of their dad's old cars.
