"Any guess's about where this one's cave might be?"

I'm guessing this might be THE REF...mayor of Sedalia, Mo and an avid proponent of 360's who, about five years ago, predicted a soon-coming demise of 410 racing.

He always had a kind word for the late Uncle Ted! (tongue in cheek)

 
I LEARNED ESP FROM MY MOM

"PUT YOUR SWEATER ON: DON'T YOU THINK I KNOW WHEN 
YOU'RE COLD?"

no, anything would help them out. thanks. I do have his email for further info. and I do have his address for donations

you are an asshole.. This is serious. He is asking for help of any kind. I just thought I would reach out to the west coast fans for him. You obviously aren't one

thank you. This is a serious thread. Robert has had sme setbacks towards the end of the year, tearing up parts not of his making and his owner has decided not to come out west to race. So Robert is bring out his own car and putting the 81 on it for championship points. I am just trying to put the word out to people out west. Look up Robert on facebook and see, it is no joke

thank you!!!!

laski you must me one misserable S.O.B .. i going to give now just because of people like you..

someone look me up at trophy cup, im good for 50.00 ill be the one with the little white dog.

BIG ROB

..If things work out for him he'll be here in AZ for the USAC Hall of Fame Classic on the 26th and 27th of this month, and then off to Cali for the Oval Nations the following weekend. I'm thinking you should post this over on the SCRAFAN forum http://www.hoseheadforums.com/forum.cfm?forumId=13. After all he is a Cali boy from Rocklin, even though he parks his butt in other places at times.

Half the lies they tell about me aren't true. 

I just talked to Robert. He said thanks for the kind words and for any help that comes his way. He also admits that no matter what, there are people like mwilaski out there. In the 80's we ran a car at Ascot solely on money that we and friends gave to a racer and a friend. And we would do it all over again!! His name was Kenny Cope. If you are a true fan, there is always a guy out there scraping by to do what he loves to do, race! Any way, any how. once again, I do have Roberts email address and ph. # if anyone wants to help. And hey scrooge, I mean mwilaski, next time you go to a sprint car race, why don't you pick out the smallest team out there, go in the pits and buy them a rear tire. You'll see!!!

you truely are an idiot!!!!!

or here's one ass wipe. What would the car counts be like at races without the little guys that are just scraping by to race. Huh jack off?

We need more sprint car racing at our home track.

definately would love to go enjoy new tracks.. thinking about going down to perris one of these days..cant wait for trophy cup never been heard its awesome

I don't care that much, just thought the idea and begging for fan's money to race was ridiculous so I commented.

For the record, Robert has NOT begged for money from his fan base. He started solicting sponsorship FROM BUSINESSES for the trip. This fan donation idea was started by a fan (and perpetuated by some non-fans) and kind of took off. Now, I DO sponsor Robert, and have before this and will continue; and I do for many reason-the least of which is that these are the kind of drivers that we need out there for our sport. It's very easy to bad mouth people on the internet. It is tougher to do 30 seconds of research and find out what is really going on.

Ciao. See everyone out at Perris for the Oval Nationals.

And this comes from a clown that doesn't set foot at a racetrack, just comments (rather stupidly) on a racing message board.

I don't think he is "begging" the fans to donate for money as much as its a request. More than likely, he is searching for sponsorship too. There are a lot of fans on these message boards that own their own business and may want to associate their company with a driver. Plus, sponsorships do not have to come from companies, they can be donations from a private entity who just enjoys racing.

Your statement alone that you know "for a fact that virtually no drivers beg there fan base for donations" says alot about you. You know every racer in the country? cause you didn't say full-time, part-time, start up. Just that you know that no other driver has ever asked the fan base for money. If I'm not mistaken the beerhill gang donates money to many local drivers and I would bet you that alot of that money comes from people reaching into their pocket and simply donating cause they love racing, I think whether you like Posse or the Beerhill gang or not, you'd be hard pressed to find someone that would say that they aren't trying hard to promote racing and having fun while they do it.

Have you at all thought about the fact that people would possibly like to donate cause as an individual you don't run into alot of situations that you can feel like you actually have a small stake in that car, maybe you only gave $25 or $50 but now that person can listen to or watch that race and can say I had a part in that. If you had abit more money to give you could probably talk to the guy and he might be willing to put a small sticker on the car for you. BTW, I'm not donating, I just don't feel I'm in a position to judge what others should or shouldn't do with their own personal decisions and money.

If you don't want to ask for money for your own race team, than don't. But I doubt that you even have any affiliation with a race team, I'm sure your just the blowhard that goes to a race and complains about everything from the hot dog you bought to the price of the ticket and condition of the track and then at the end of the night come on here and make everyone a little dumber for reading your drivel.

You should get into politics cause it seems like you have no problem telling others how they should feel and more importantly no problem standing over top of a dead horse and beating it, even though everyone around you disagrees.

All of you are as clueless as usual. As clueless as you were about Kinser being "done", as clueless as you are about Swindell "not being a dirty driver" and on and on. There never was any use in sense with most here. You make up your own minds based on nothing good.

Go find me a couple more USAC drivers doing this and I will agree that it has a place in high level sprint car racing. If you want to be cheap and unprofessional, whatever, then go beg your fans for money. If you want to be a professional, get your ride and finances sorted before you hit the road. I bet Joey Saldana isn't going to cart a 410 around soliciting donations if he doesn't get a ride right away next year. But yes, this definitely has a good place in racing, begging fans for donations. Gives the individual driver and the sport as a whole a real nice image.
