Say, now that you mention it.....

ok smartass glad you have time   to hang out at the shop,  so when does the season start ?    what are the goals ? how many wins this season ?  several at RCS   0 at Jackson ,  thats all I know, as I was at Rcs for all of them , was at Jackson once and he did not win that nite , twice with the WOO at RCS no wins , once at RRVS -dnf    glad you have lots of $ it will bw needed

I'm bettin someone is smok n them myself, supposed big sponser and supporter expresses himself like a child. Perhaps if he could express himself intelligently with some semblance of grammer, he might be believed as a businessman. Too late for that now though, can you say exposed.......

I heard from a very reliable source that mark will be switching gears and next year plans to race lawnmowers.

are you going trick or treating ?  think I might , so how about Casey Mack is he racing next year ? how about Mitch ?

Now that would be cool.   A lawnmower would look awesome with that same color scheme he uses on the sprint car!  

great idea , I have an old cub cadet out in the woods , Team 13 you guys can have it

Wow!!!  You run your own company!!  I can tell.  Your professionalism shows through--you know, since you are posting about someone's race team on a sprint car forum before they make any announcements.  How can I invest in this Fortune 500 company? 

By the way, my post makes perfect sense-only because I am not involved in the daily rigors of running a company as complicated and fast-paced as yours.  I have lots of time to post-you know, since my job requires no responsibilities.  In fact, if I have typos in any future emails or memos, I will simply blame my busy work schedule for the lack of professional conduct.

Give me a break.

I may be alone in this, but I would find it absolutely HILARIOUS if smoknthem actually turns out to be who he/she purports to be.

I mean, stranger things HAVE happened. At one time drivers and team owners actually posted on Hoseheads. Of course, that was before all of the self-appointed experts began spewing their vitriol on nearly every post.

I am lucky enough to work at one of the best tracks 
anywhere.

I'm call BS on Smoknthem... been around long enough to see it. Just made his account and all his posts are adversarial..then disappears 

Time will tell

trick or treat Ryan,  any news on Badlands Speedway ?

He had a good year.  Does anyone know how much in total purse he won just counting feature wins.  I don't know what any of the tracks he won at this year pay for winning the feature except Knoxville.  IBRacing shows him at 7 wins which must be wrong wrong, hell Wade Nygaard, another Grand Forks local is listed as winning 8 races. 

 Lawlessness and liberalism equals Hell.  NY City, 
Detroit, Seattle, Chicago, Minnepolis, etc. We saw it. 
Burning hundreds of buildings, a thousand assaults and 
dozens of murders. Getting worser and worser.

he did win the back row challenge at Rcs witch was $8200  , Ryan did u pocket all of that or did u give some to Mark ?  won the only show of the year at Badlands I think , Ryan correct me if im wrong , still helps but heard the traveling expenses were quite high

he won the jackson points championship???... he won in knoxville one of the few times he was down there, 12th in the nationals Amain, silver shootout winner, sounds like a pretty decent year. swap team 13 with about half of the guys on the outlaw tour and i dont foresee those guys having the same level of sucess mark had this year

doubt an Outlaw regular would care much about those stats , 0 wins with the outlaws , yes he has won in the past , points at jackson yes , wins -0 ,    cost a lot of $ to run with the Outlaws  and not much of a return on investment , Outlaws seems to be a one man show lately = boring

One thing is for certain whatever Dobs does he will have success.

Right but mark has ran about 10-12 outlaw shows this year, I’m saying if he was on the tour running 90 some races a year I think he would have more success that about half the guys on the tour and probably have a win or two, pretty irrelivent to say 0 wins in very few outlaw races 

how much would it cost to run a complete Outlaw / All Star season ? 

All-star tour is going to be less based on travel and show dates. Right now the biggest cost for these owners is toter and trailer. They keep getting bigger and longer. You get past those costs, many go to the trade shows and make as many manufacturer deals as possible. Most start the season with 5 to 6 cars in various forms of completion.  Today many go to were the price is right. Motors are without question the single biggest expense for guys that travel. A new team just starting out would spend  probably close to 1 million. 

Didn't there used to be some kind of deal where if you were so high in points the year before you would get a toter for the next year?  Speaking of this I heard back in the early 2000s Steve Kinser basically only had to pay for his motors and that was at a signifigantly reduced price.  From what I heard he had a deal with Maxim, Sander and so on to where he was given all this stuff.  Then at the end of the year he would sell the leftover rollers for somewhere around $10,000 a peice.  Was this true?
