Grape, are you going to the chilli bowl? I here this roomer that its gonna be on CBS sports but a tap delay is this false or true?

i will not be there, a few of my customers and friends will be however. i was there last weekend with the Tulsa Shootout, mini sprint races with all of my engine and header customers. Doubtful on the CBS deal

It kinda proves my point. Ive known andy since the mid 90's, and without his money to drive, they shut down. Andy was renting rides way back in the day in the f2000 days.

I've only met him a few times during the 2010 Grand Am season. It will be interesting to see him next year in the Rolex series NOT in a TRG Porsche!

Heard that too. Surprised they don't just S&P the first 5 races and collect half a mil. 36th in points, but I'd think at least the 4, 6, 33 or 83 points won't get bought which would lock the 71 into the first 5. I was also thinking that Stenhouse would get in the #71, and with the 6 not running, it would lock him in. Oh well, WTF do I know. I see lots of venture capitalists starting and parking this year.

A little birdie told me that TRG shut down the cup operation, along with the red bull teams going away. I predict a few short fields this year.........

Well Im not suprised. I felt something was going to happen at TRG when they announced that Andy Lally wouldnt return. Red Bull did suprise me when I first heard the news. Also Almirola will drive the 43.

Handles like a bag of dicks on ovals, $150,000 over target price set last year. It will kill the series. Not a single component carries over other than wheels from the previous car. We are talking about parts prices that most cant fathom. A ring and pinion for the xtrac gear box is $10k.

lol handles like a bag of dicks on ovals, nice.

I'll be honest, they are ugly as hell. What was their reason's for going to this new car?

[Grape]

as a matter of fact I am serious. and i stated the question wrong. I should have said other than the obvious few multi championship guys and excluded them. But 3 out of how many is not that impressive. As far as newman and kahne.... I guess your more easily impressed than me. I dont consider them very successful. But hey, Im not a nacar god such as you.

Still want to see how the drivers bring in the sponsors. Why did Rick Hendrick turn down bud?

Had something to do with his wife and if you remember the 25 car from the mid 90's with kshrader and ricky craven, it was a budweiser deal. Dont know all the bad blood, but there is some there.

[Grape]

so its prefessional wrestling now?

Has been for a very long time

hey Grape, what is your first impressions on the new Wheldon chassis?
