Man, we have a lot of uneducated people on here. lol
LetoffEarly...Just a little FYI, The knoxville nationals pay 6 figures I believe. The Front Row Challenge pays $50,000. The STN's (360 race) pays $10,000 or $20,000. The Mopar Million paid $1,000,000. The ASCS champion gets $50,000. These are just the random races I can think of. I haven't even mentioned the Kings Royal or other big races. None of these are 100% accurate by any means because they are off the top of my head but they are close.
JD: I respect your cars (well the chevy ones). The speeds I was guessing at are at the city. Now I'm sure the sprinters go just a liiiiiitle faster on those tracks you are talking about. Just a guess.
Here are the facts fellas...a hooked up 900hp sprint weighing 1200 lbs is just a little more extreme and fun to drive than a wheel spinning 900 hp 4 ton mod.

When's the last time YOU drove a 900 Horse sprintcar??? Horsepower ain't shit, ya gotta be able to drive first and then maybe win a race or three.

Its not a matter of big tires vs small 900 hp vs soap boxes its that owning, driving, being a relative of, working on, or fan of sprint cars all of you seem to carry yourselves in a higher regard than other forms of dirt racing. I think its a joke to race a car at the fair grounds then compare yourself to the upper level of racing hiarchy. If you need an example just attend the races one night and observe the pits. You guys still put your pants on one leg at a time. But i do agree with the original thread and that the un-fair grounds will stay that way b/c ORA is a joke and lanny knows it.

Hold up guys, some of you are taking this waaaaaay too far. I've said the whole time I'm just messing with you. In no way do I think that I am better than anyone. You can ask anyone that actually knows me on here. Come and talk to me in the pits and see. JD knows all of this and that is why we can mess with each other on here.
SmithRacer, you've been a dick to me since day 1. I don't even know you man. No I haven't ran a 900hp car, have you ever sat in a race car? Calm down and smell the freaking roses, I think you might have a problem. Why don't you come down and meet me. That's not a I'm going to kick your ass offer. That's an I'm going to shake your hand and ask how your night has been offer. By the way, the last time I raced I was a lap away from a win. Someone must have taken over my body and drove the car for me.
Like I've said 394839438 times in this thread I was just messing around. You guys kept bringing up points so I kept coming back. What am I supposed to do? Just let you win?

The answer to that is there are not enough talented people to run sprintcars. Any "HILLBILLYBOB" can jump in a fender flapper, gas her up down the straight away and bank off another car and gas her up again til the next corner!!!!!!!!! Do it in a sprintcar and say goodbye to your ENTIRE car not just a tin foil body you can hammer back out! You have to be able to run it off under someone inches away from you in any open wheel can and not touch. You can't just run it in there and knock Bubba outta the danged ole way then take a tire tool down and whoop that daggum yankee's A$$ for bein in the daggum way!!!!!!!!

I apologize you're right i don't know you i just inferred you were like the rest of the sprint car clan. Good luck on getting a motor together, i'd sell you one of mine but you'd have to pull it out of my soap box and probably adjust the bike pedals. That was a joke.

Amen to that! We all know as DRIVERS, most of the time, that we are kidding around with each other and with down time between races, we have to jaw on each other to have a little fun ei...JD and his wanna be Ford motors!
Otherwise, get a life! We all know there's major problems at SFS and unfortunately its never goin to change unless there's a change of promoters. So as a racer, you have 2 choices. Shutup and race or go to another track where there are promoters who do listen. Unfortunately for the Super Sprints and Pro-Stocks, they dont very many options because most of the tracks dont run their class or support the rules that their car is built. Champs have a few more options and the factorys even have more. The Modifieds, for the most part, can run any track in the state so i guess we have the least to complain about because we can choose where we want to run. But for the classes that dont have the luxury as we do, I feel for you.

First off, if you want to meet cheese he is easy to find. If he don't shave he will resemble that of Muslin desent.
Secondly, cheeze likes to break the ice and cut up and there is nothing wrong with that. Sometimes we take things way too serious and need to learn to relax and chill - have a little fun.
I have learned over the past couple of years to appreciate most all forms of dirt track racing. I use to be only sprint cars but I have become more diversed. Make alot of new friends that way also.
And lastly, while we and the drivers have their own preference in different divisions of race cars, I have found at SFS that whether it be super sprints or champ sprints or mods or pro stocks or factory stocks, everyone is pretty much a type group. If only the fans could get to know drivers from the divisions they don't keep up with.
As far as SFS or Lawton or Enid or Brill or Ardmore or where ever, Deke is right that there are those who do have a choice on where they can race and really don't have to be committed to one track more than the other. But before you slam one track or another trust me when I say there seems to be problems at ALL tracks that I keep up with all across this region. So your not alone when you think there are flagman problems or scoring problems or this problem or that problem. It exsists at every track -OR - does it really exsist or are we just that picky in life these days?

Well at least you understand and at least your accepting the fact that sprintcar drivers, fans, owners, pit crews, etc are a superior breed. Maybe one day you will just accept the fact that those little blue ovals are NOT faster than a bowtie!!!!!!! lol

Nope I'm not an abu dabi, I just had to melt down all of my razors to forge a set of pistons haha. That was a pretty good joke though Steve.
Champ, not all sprint guys are like that. There are some of course, but there are some in every class.
I don't think I'm ever going to use the radar on that phone again, its done nothing but steer me wrong. I will continue to use the race car set-up feature on it though haha. And in my defense I did say that we should wait, because I knew how mad we would be if we got to Taco Cabana and found out they were racing...(but we got to eat God's food (and it was delecious)).

Was Cheese with you Saturday night??? I would have liked to have met both of you. I haven't been able to spend as long in the pits lately as I'd like to. I've been kept busy trying to get all the bugs out of the sound system. Maybe next Saturday.
