Racing Discussion / Re: blackrock street stock rule changes ?
« on: November 26, 2009, 10:47:36 PM »
I've been planning to convert the old 123 to a Street Stock for a couple of years now buy don't seem to have the time or the money to do it. Maybe by next falls big race! I think the car would run around eighth in the Latemodels just as it sits. Of course on some nights  if you just don't crash you could wheel a 4 cylinder into eight in the LM division.

Just wanted to publicly thank Balmer's Auto Sales for their support on the 9X. In all the excitement of winning I forgot to mention them in victory lane. Gene & Lisa are great people! Also Joe Palmer Trucking! Thanks to everyone for stopping by to congatulate us. Larry puts his heart and soul into that car and we've been really fast all season.....just needed some luck to go our way. See everyone at Mercer!

Racing Discussion / Re: embarrassment of being a racer and car owner today

I think the problem with Crates on pavement is they have them racing on too sticky a tire. If they made them run on hard bricks it would more match the amount of power they have and bring the driver ability and set-up skills back into the mix. If they have sticky tires they're too evenly matched and they just hammer them wide open all the way around. Get them slipping around a little and the good drivers will be able to work through the pack. Plus on a harder tire maybe you wouldn't need brand new stickers every time you hit the track! The Crate motor sportsman at Woodhull put on a fantastic show with 28 or so cars every week. Wouldn't you pavement guys like to see some full field racing on a regular basis?

Thanks for the congrats. I'm not sure how the engine held out for those last few laps. Dave is a great competitor and a really clean driver. It's funny that except for one heat race where we ran side by side for seven laps we really didn't run head to head. The nights we were "ON", he wasn't that quick, and visa-versa. Hopefully we can get the engine patched up for some BRP season enders. Also we're overdue to win a Modified race with the 9X. Larry's car is very stout and we just haven't had the luck on our side yet...but it's coming soon!
