Can you produce any data to back your 99.9% claim. No you cannot possibly do that. You just made that up. It is not the truth, so you are actually lying. Show me the numbers.

Wow, a rare visit from Kokomo's USAC Ambassador to the Universe! 
Thanks Dr. Funkenstein....

Nope - Was raised in Perry and now live in Juniata county. I would never ever want to be the pope.

That makes sense.... why be a lowly Pope when you're already The Exalted Wannabe Speed Palace Track Prep Manager???

I believe I speak for most of the forum members when I suggest that it's high time for the two of you to get a room, so the rest of us can talk about sprint car racing.

Other than Rico and the #3 from Missouri will anyone else be missing that was here for Fridat? Saw Brown us still planing to come in any new ones.

I highly doubt Brian Brown will show just for the Open. Would have made sense to race BAPS last night also.

That was a very good race. I would say the outlaws had there tails kicked. I'm not the biggest fan of DD but I was glad to see him win the championship in the manner he did last night. He was definitely up on the wheel and giving it his all.
LD, what can you say, it only shows how luck sometimes plays a big part in winning. I was glad to hear him say, I'm not done yet.
Brent Marks, how does one top that season. They announced around 700 K in earnings this year, wow. Only shows, you don't have to follow a series.
Macri, I thought when he got to 4th and with the yellows he was going to make his move, he almost did if it wasn't for the bobble in 3 and 4. I think that cost him the race.
The bridge, well all the winers, wrg included, finally got there way. But if it wasn't somebody was going to get killed. There's dangers all around a speedway that can seriously hurt someone. You think as drivers they don't know that.
Van, do you think he was having fun. Only shows you how far these cars of today have trully come.

Macri still isn't Macri when there is a cushion. But when there isn't a cushion and he has to bounce it off the wall he is Macri.

Straw, he's dam lucky he didn't bounce it off his lid. He was hard on the brake and got off it just in the nick of time and the car kept rolling.

I agree! Like I said Macri runs a lot better when there isn't a cushion. See Port Royal and bouncing it off the wall. He is not even close to being a great cushion racer.

He won at what? Eight different tracks or is it nine this year. He runs the bottom more that people who don't watch him think. Lance has said what makes him so good now is that he can run the bottom when he needs to and that makes it hard to defend the lead when he is behind you. It is also what makes him good on long green flag runs is that when he comes to lapped traffic he just goes where they aren't.

He bounces it off the wall more than he runs the bottom. That is a fact Jack! He runs in on the bottom and drifts up the track. Port very rarely has a bottom groove where you can run it the whole way around the corners. The only time they have a bottom groove is been it is really fast at the beginning of the night! 15 second fast!!
He is great at running the wall. Ok at running anywhere else. He also does a lot of sliders. I mean a lot! I have watched Macri a lot at different tracks and if there is a cushion he struggles all night long.
He can't run the cushion so he will not be a factor at Knoxville for many many years. You either run the cushion or right around the bottom. Almost always two grooves!

Yea he runs the top more. You will have to forgive me but I think I will take Lance Deweases word over yours. You don't see these things on highlight films.

I watch the highlights and that is how he runs. Sorry to disappoint you. Port he is very rarely down low. No one at Port unless you are a back marker stays low through y whole corner. The real fast guys run the wall. I have eyes.
I have also been to other tracks in central Pa and in Ohio this year sometimes he isn't on his game.

Maybe you should ask Donny Shatz about that. Macri drove low the whole way through a corner to pass two times in one night On Friday at Port.

Yeah he really struggled on the heavy cushion, narrow track at the Grove Saturday night. He only went from 9th to 3rd against the best in the business. He was the fastest car on the track and challenging for 2nd at a track that really isn't one of his best.

I just rewatched the highlights from both nights. I have yet to see where when racing for position there wasn't a slider. The only time anyone entered low and stayed low was when there wasn't a battle for position for the drivers up front.

Too bad you don't go to Port or you'd have seen Lance win on the bottom plenty of times....
