So what do you have against a FORD powered sprint car??  I guess just another bowtie junkie.



Nope. I think it's cool to see some variety. I've owned both Chevy's & Fords. I liked them both.

Going back to the original post, with all the success the All Stars have had this year in PA combined with the WoO success, this has to be the worst year the Posse has had against outsiders in many years.

 



Definitely the worst I can remember and it isn't even close.

Brown's opinion holds just as much water as Lance's. And right there is why the track prep guy should just prep the damn track how he thinks it needs to be done for the weather, format and expected car count and not listen to all the noise from the drivers. The fact is there is no right, wrong, best or worst way to prep a track within the obvious parameters of making sure it's smooth and it isn't so wet or so dry that it can't be raced on. Lance drives the 69K. Of course he wants a slick track......who the hell wouldn't if they were driving that car? A slick track dramatically enhances his chances of winning. Brian Brown has a Charlie Garrett engine. Why wouldn't he want the track to be hammer down fast with a bullet like that under the hood? Every driver and team has their strengths and weaknesses and most of them are gonna lobby for what they like relentlessly if they think there's a chance they might get it. If you do what 1 driver wants you to do, you're going to piss another one off who wants it their way. Guys like Steve Stimely & Fred Putney know what they're doing & 90% of the time, they do it well. They can work magic with a grader just like Lance & Brownie can work magic with a sprint car. I miss the days when drivers just showed up and adjusted their driving and set ups to meet whatever demands the track gave them that night. This shit of some of these drivers thinking the track should be how they want it all the time and then throwing a hissy fit on Twitter when it isn't is getting old. Like Mr. Hodnett always said: it's the same for everyone.



Good points....

I'm a Ford guy too

I think FiXXers wisecrack was about how you always agree with BStrawser, so much that some of us wonder if you're actually him

The Minthess thing was probably just added for "hahas"

Port Royal puts on a show, oops wait, I thought this was the Grove Board, my bad!



Lets face it, Allstars are pretty damn good (especially Reutzel) ... congratulations!

Posse is not what it used to be, with Hodnett tragedy & "graduation" of some young guns to WoO

oh well......
