Those Posse boys were real stout this weekend, lmao. You got a couple of Feature wins, who cares if they were the C Main, right? Luckily Mr. Pittman an Okie forever at least put one of your cars somewhere near the front this weekend but it's even a stretch you'd ever call him Posse. Props to Lance, he has run and won there before, he's a gamer everywhere he comes for the most part. Some things will never change, you'll do well at the Grove and be running the alphabet everywhere else, the consumate One Track Wonders. The best local racers in the country are from CA not PA and they prove it just the way Meyers did this year, where it counts, on the road. Take It Easy....

Oh no....the truth but.....HERE WE GO AGAIN!!!!!

Actually, the best drivers from any "one" area are probably from Indiana and this year's best local/regional driver is from western PA and drives a car from Ohio. Nice try, though.

...

Tim won the biggest of all races and won a series with no competition and if you are not counting W of O Drivers then he is undoubtedly the 'local' driver of the year. The CA vs PA is just something I've talked about for many years now and is releveant to winning on the tour more than anything else because that's the toughest place to win races. Take It Easy....

Really, I don't remember any 6 car fields in PA this year, but I guess EVERYONE from PA was in Charlotte so the other 30 cars every night must have towed in all season? Lol, four months away from watching the best locals in the game for $13 a show, have fun listening to the Outlaws on Dirtvision, I'll be sure to catch them and one of the best atmospheres in racing when they hit PA next May.

Cherry picked any information lately? He won against the WoO away from his usual stomping grounds as well this year. He also had to deal with Blaney several times this past season who is also an Outlaw Ass Whipper in his own right.

In direct competition at atleast one race this season (Attica opener), a california regular with outlaw equipment was handed his ass not only by Mr. Shaffer but also by several under funded Ohio regulars after this particular Cali regular started the feature in front of them.

Want to cherry pick the information? I can play that game also. Problem is, nobody actually gives a shit at this point because the dead horse has been beat to a pulp. It's time to find a new schtick.

...

looking at the results...2 outlaws in the top 5, 2 posse in the top 5, 1 self prefessed "old guy" (Sammy) in the top 5.

the real question...where the heck happened to all the big nascar money drivers?

Lincoln 1845 ft/.35 mile T1=118MPH 
Eldora 2287 ft/.43mile T3=135MPH
Port 2716 ft/.51 mile T3=TBD
Grove 2792 ft/.53 mile T3=135MPH
Selinsgrove 2847 ft/.54 mile T1=136MPH

Well maybe if he was goin as fast as everyone else he wouldnt have gotten run over. Thats what happens when you go slower than everyone else.

A Smile weighs nothing.
So make it part of your daily diet!

That's okay....pubic thinks XXX is a condom!

I am anxious to see how Darrah does "out in the world" next year.

I have heard so much about the guy out of WI. (Balong???) but he didn't seem to do too well this past weekend. Well, at least he got off the porch.

Speaking of the porch.....If I were an owner there is no way I would pack up and head to N.C. in November to race two nights. Doe$n't make any $en$e.

Hey cubicdouchebag ... on the other thread it said that Michaels was in his Maxim this weekend. Maybe you should get your BS straight before you post your crap.

well where should we start ok, where the heck where the local cars from cal. at least we show and run and find a few cars in the top 10 . Also by the way least are local cars know how to find vicory lane during are biggest race of the year in pa , how many non outlaw cars won the gold cup ever ,maybe one . Do not get me wrong a like jason i think he is a great outlaw driver. also maybe some day i can make it out to the gold cup race, i seen most of the biggest races and i would love to see that one for sure

wide open...have one of your Posse buds tell you how far it is from Fresno, Cali to the "Worst Track at Charlotte" and back.....for two nights of racing!

NO BRAINER.

Come on Power, beating the All-Stars is like beating the Sisters of the Poor in football, who you kidding? Tim is good enough to win anywhere but he never has beaten the big dogs very often nor ever will and I think you know that. He kows it and that's why he's doing the smart thing right now, enough already. Take It Easy...

MSPN....we've talked a lot before on the DV chat and such and everyone knows your knowledgeable. But come on buddy.

From the WoO site:

"The Top-5 World of Outlaws finishes in the National Open were: Jason Meyers, Jason Sides, Paul McMahon, Donny Schatz and Kraig Kinser. The Top-five PA Posse finishes were: Lance Dewease, Stevie Smith, Brian Monteith, Daryn Pittman and Greg Hodnett."

You claimed the Posse did bad at Knoxville but looking at this list. I see 6th, 10th and 11th place finishers. At Charlotte, based on this list, we put 2 drivers in the top 5. And that's without Hodnett or Smith able to make the trip.

No disrespect here, just lacking your logic. Please elaborate.

Don't care about The Grove, I expect your guys to do well there. Charlotte you won the C-Main both nights big deal. The Lincoln Track champ finished about nowhere in the B-Main both nights I think, heard enough yet? Pittman is not Posse, he's there because there isn't a better option right now and Stevie hasn't been Posse for many, many years. All I remember about Knoxville is my guy got a flat and a wonderful human being, Tim got the win. I neither know where nor care where the Posse finished, it's been lousy for them for years except for Hodnett who is Always good at Knoxville and I think may win it someday. Your guys have won at one track only over the years and I've printed and shown stats about how bad it was at every other track anywhere near Central PA, they're brutal. Most fans with a brain have heard this enough over the years and figured it out, the rest reside in PA and post in this forum, Take It Easy....

You're cherry picking my post again, Mike and it makes you just as bad as the people you accuse of being "cheerleaders" in literally thousands of other posts you made in this forum over the years. You insist on making a weak attack about a series that's well on it's way to the morgue and ignore the other points that I make and consider it a valid point. That's a half assed attempt even from you, a person that nobody has high expectations from in the least.

Nowhere did I say that the allstars are as strong now as they have been in years past. I did however, make the fact based claim that Shaffer had to contend with DB on many of those occasions and if you don't recognize the fact that DB is easily one of the best shoes in this sport, bar-none, reality has indeed passed you by. Infact, if you had been paying attention the last couple of years, you'll notice that there hasn't been a more vocal critic of that series on this board than me. After all, I do attend their races on a regular basis rather than sit infront of a computer hundreds of miles away without going to a race for the whole year and look for numbers in a press release so I can stir up shit on a message board.

Now, would you like to ignore Tim's other accomplishments this past season? If so, come right out and say it instead of dancing around the facts. I'm not even a fan of the man but, you have to appreciate what he's accomplished.

...

Beating the All Stars is like beating the sisters of the poor? Tim Shaffer the All Star champion won the biggest sprint car race in the world,,,,,Beat the outlaws at Pevely one of the raciest tracks there is,,20 plus feature wins , won as much or more money than Most if not all Sprint car racers in the world this year. Lets give credit when credit is due. All of that without a nascar budget. Congrats to Tim and the C and H team!!!!!!!

Seeing Tim win at Knoxville was refreshing to say the least and I don't know who wasn't happy with that result. Beating the All-Stars all year long is still not going to account for much in mine or anyone elses books either, sorry. Dale is a very good racer, he was at his best in Tim Hughes sprinter and I wonder if he'd ever had a real shot with good stuff for any length of time how he might have done with the Outlaws. I don't think it ever mattered that much to him, Dale is happy being Dale and I admire him for that. Dale will always be competitive at the Big E with anyone, the rest of the country I'm not so sure but it doesn't matter much I'm guessin' either, he marches to his own drummer.....

You don't have to go to races to see what's goin' on in the sport, for a decade there were few if any that went to more than I did, averaging over a 100 a year for that time and standing next to the track and in the pits for most of 'em. By you telling me you attend their races all the time has me feeling sorry for you more than anything, dude there are lots more important things in life to do, trust me. I care little for the sport anymore but have many good friends that do and for that reason I still come here on occasion. Sprint car racings best days are passed and only a fool thinks differently, I am pleased to have been around for the likes of Steve and Sammy and have no regrets. Some new racers would be good for the sport, in PA on the tour and even locally, I hope that it happens for those still involved.

As to valid point or whatever you are talking about all I know is that Tim won a big race, beat the Outlaws in MO and beat a worn out mostly dead series for the majority of his season, a small feat to say the least, flame all you want it doesn't change reality. I congratulated him at the time and would love to see him someday to shake his hand as well, the rest is the rest and he is smart to take their money. The Posse big dogs stay home and take it to, always have, always will, why not? Just don't make it big news with the All-Stars gig, it ain't. Take It Easy.....

Feel sorry for me all that you want but, I get to go to ARP on a weekly basis and it's easily the best racing in the country. Infact, the opener that I mentioned earlier was probably the best race that I've seen in the 34 years that I've been going to dirt tracks.

The allstars hit my area heavily each year so, I'm going to see a lot of allstar races one way or the other. When Shaffer wins allstar races that usually means that he's beating the regulars in my area. If you want to minimize the locals in Ohio then you can go to hell as far as I'm concerned. No group of drivers does so much with so little as the guys in this area. Thank any diety that you want that our tracks aren't all power tracks and require some skill to drive on. It makes the racing exciting and worthwhile to watch week in and week out. In summary; the races aren't at issue with the allstars when they run here, it's the hack that runs the series and the percieved lack of "heavy hitters" that tour with them to "parts unknown". All due respect to the guys that still do tour with them, by the way.

Yes, it's quite obvious that you don't "love" the sport anymore. The only time you come in here is to take a cheap shot at some people you had a falling out with years ago. Get over yourself. It must suck to be a bitter old man with nothing constructive to say. In turn I must say that I feel sorry for you.
