Oh yeah their still there! I will tell you something that I found real interesting though....

I went to an outdoor dirt oval track called "Scooters" that's located way up on the side of a mountain, anyway they had this sign posted and it read pretty much like this...

NO excessive foul language.

NO fighting whilst on the drivers platform.

NO loaded firearms.

NO spitting on the track.

Believe it or not, that's what the sign read, and I'm NOT kidding!!! Made me wonder why I left my AK-47 at home!

NO excessive foul language.

Gee, I wonder which of our attendees that always happens to find the mic would have a problem with that one.

NO fighting whilst on the drivers platform.

Man, that takes all the challenge out of it! Why else to we have those large pointy things on our radios....

NO loaded firearms.

Uh, oh boy. I just gotta wonder what prompted that one....

NO spitting on the track.

Yeah, I've heard that Copenhagen can have a nasty effect on the traction. Now Beechnut, thats another story....

oh trust me John I believe every word of it. I can see somebody pulling out a .38 because a marshal fell asleep and sending a few shots out at him just to wake him up. :eek: :mad: :eek:

Okay, he's back! At least I think I am anyway. Brought back 13 of those AKC barking rats. The trip wasn't to bad considering the mountians.

But.... I also took the time and drove by the MSA raceway which is located in Crossville Tennessee and met the owner DR. I also have some of the BSR sedan tires to try out this weekend!

Sorry to get a little off topic with the redneck $&%$. John, I have a ? for ya. Do you still have some paint for my truck left??? Just the flame red stuff, not the pearls on the ghost flames. If so, I was wondering if I could come down and get the rear quater fixed one weeekend thats rusted before we strip it and repaint the whole thing. I just want it to look almost perfect for when I go back to KC this month and chill out with some friends in the biggest car club in KC that have been waiting to see my truck. And as far as the redneck stuff goes, them there bsr folks know they're &$&@^ They helped me to a 6th place finish in the midwest oval nationals in Marshaltown, Iowa way back in 1995. I qualified 8th in the B main and won, bumped up to the A and started dead flippin last and in the span of 4min. (god help those sad 1700scrc packs) moved up to 6th.

Eric - yes I did, and I've been looking for some websites and haven't found much. You might want to check a MOPAR magazine or call summitt racing for some help. I know you can slap a fat turbo on your car and make it a nice sleeper with some monor mods

I'll be in KC from aug 30th to Sept. 8th. And all my antique cars are here, but I plan on bringing my 75mph outrigger hydroplane and a few weapons of mass destruction back with me. I sold the car from the oval nats about a year ago on ebay, but still have all of my dirt oval cars, minus one.

His problem was he started from the top end down. You have to start from the bottom end and work your way to the top end of the engine. I did find a really sweet turbo application for my truck, OH MY:eek: that pumps it up to 11's in the quater. but nothin like this though

1000hp-1200lbft torque dakota (http://www.bankspower.com/banks_sidewinder.html)

OH MY can we say a 220mph street legal dodge dakota!!! And the best part it will tow the entire race trailer to Bonneville and get 20mpg doing it

It's even red too, and they provided a nice graph to tell me what kind of rear wheel hp I need to do 150mph, hehehehe:devil: :roll: :devil:

Actually I think the new rule could work, however it would be more fun if the marshalls had them too! Just think... somebodys car goes out of control and five marshalls start shooting at it to stop it!! Or... some clown on the driver's stand starts yelling... MARSHAL, MARSHAL.... I would imagine marshalls carrying sidearms would put an end to that!
