NOW WHO’s YOUR PICK!!![/B][/SIZE]
:ernaehrung004::huepfen024::sport009::huepfen024:
Edwards is hot, good choice and yes Earnhardt is always a good pick on restrictor plate tracks and he’s been doing better lately. Again if he can stay focused for the long haul I have to pick him, I guess.
Demolition Derby What Fun
The tow truck!!! 
Who cares!!! Support a local Short Track and their drivers.
Action actually starts today with the ARCA race at 4PM - Note that they did not get a full field to show up… only 39 of a possible 43 that could start…
Looks like Hillenburg decided to put our old buddy Charlie Vest in Bryan Silas’ back-up car… probably just start and park for a few extra bucks…

that takes a lot of thought lets build a super speedway
and then we will put a restrictor plate on them so they will run in bunches and tear up a lot of shi$ and the last three laps we will call that racing
what next a one barrell carb and eight inch groved hoosier tires look at the money that was wasted in making and engine run with the restrictor plate and they said next year it was going to be even smaller they might as well have a chain race or better yet a skid race or just stop the race with four laps to go and put a blind fold on all the drivers :huepfen024::huepfen024:ARCA race canceled until tomorrow morning at 8AM due to severe weather… Be a busy day there tomorrow…

Restrictor plates, I hate these big tracks. (Daytona and Talladega) Like someone said, a demo derby. They need to cut the banking down to somethinmg like 10degress and take the plates away. They’ll let off in the turns and stay on the ground. Then we can have some racing.
You know, if they actually ran OEM factory bodies without the aero noses, etc., do you really think they’d need restrictor plates?
Looks like the rain is gone. BOY’s let’s srart DRYING the TRACK!!!
[SIZE=“4”]Can’t wait. :huepfen024::huepfen024::huepfen024:8:00 am the ARCA race. Go Joey Coulter Go…[/SIZE]:ernaehrung004::huepfen024:
I dont know winger, no plates, 700+hp, all that banking, yeah they’d get rolling pretty good. Have power programer in my 08 Super Duty, bet I could get going 140+ on Daytona with THAT! And thats about as aero as a dump truck!
Talle’s great!
I love the high banked tracks… dont like flat tracks at all… this is gonna be a fun race and you all know who i want to win. If he doesnt i would not feel bad at all to see a wild crazy crowd watch Jr. win!

Thank God for ARCA, it was refreshing to see real drafting, bump drafting and some very good parnterships during the race. I watched the start of the Nationwide race and in less than three laps it looked like a swarm of love bugs. Chalk up another FUBAR for Nascraps tech gurus.

Yeah, Bristol is nice, real racing.
I agree, nw race oring, I’m gonna o take a bike ride, work on boat a little. So boring I may even break down and go to NSS for the first time in almost a yr tonight.
They pretty much already have that, it is called Fontana and it sucks. I don’t mind the big packs but I hate the two car drafts that is so damn boring.
That’s what I’m trying to avoid, the ability to hold it on the floor all day and just steer. At least with the banking cut they would have to lift, when you lift handling and drivers ability comes into the pic. Now Abby could probably keep up with a dancing partner.
What do you suggest?
