Well how many people like the modifieds? Who is your favorite driver? My favorite driver would have to be either Gary Tomkins or Billy Decker. Going to see CVRA vs. The World tonight was postponed after 1/2 of time trials last night so start the whole thing over tonight. Matt Sheppard set fast time with Tim Mcreadie second and Brett Hearn third.

brett hearn isnt he from jersey i think so but where are you at man i live in se pa and visit new egypt like tim tanner jr always seems he never catches a brake though
-
Im from saratoga, ny. Yes brett hearn is from sussex,NJ. He won last night blew the other guys away with his small block because teh track was so slick. Jack Johnson was second with Pat Ward third. Brett got $10,000 for his win. Not bad for 75 laps.

hey where are you located at because i do body work and have fabed stuff up for arca cars i usedto work on i mean if i can do a talladega car in less then a week with a couple kids who have no clues about it then i think a saturday nite car would be easy to do
-
we are building a new car right now for the IMCA Super Nationals Labor Day week... lots of fun. we are only building a hobby stock but will be a street stock next year, possibly even a modified, we havent decided yet. The problem around here this year is sponsorships, unless you have a lot of your own money or good sponsors you wont be able to compete, and good sponsors are very scarce. good luck to you guys on your season.

hey good luck man wish i could help

dirt mod for sale only raced half season Major bent frame no front axle also bent.
Last week friday night at Ransomville we wrecked our Mod. put the car about 30 ft in the air with a lousey landing. 2 cars were destroyed in the wreck. We are picking up another car tommorow from PA. hopeing to get it together for next week. No one was hurt in the misshap and pictures or the wreck will follow when I get the film developed. Just kidding about selling the frame it is total junk I wouldnt put anyone back in this car it is not safe too much fatigue on the tubes. Just remember it is not a sport for the faint of heart or shallow pocket book.

The car # is 54 the driver is Mark Chiddy we run in the Sportsman Div. Although we did put the car up against the big blocks at Tri City and got a 11th out of it. I have never been out that way we are mostly WNY to Syracuse if it is a better show with a little more money.
Good luck with the Pro Stock

Only win was in a heat at Try City against big blocks kind of a shock to me but it did happen. We realy run this program on a song and a dance not a lot of money but we keep trying. All we really need is a little more motor. We built our own and it will stay with the pack but won't pull though enough to threaten the front runners. This comeing winter we will put another motor together with a little more snot. Just looking for a set of Dart heads then we will be able to run up front. As far as a bad year goes we had our fair share too the first motor was a dog the heads were done by some clown who didnt know what he was doing and sunk the valves in way too much. Then we put on these new heads and bent all the valves. I guess the father who put the heads on the motor learned you must clay them for clearance, LOL. Then the brakes took a crap and it took a while to figure them out Bad master Cyl. Old hard tires we ran finally took a crap and bought new ones totaly changed the handeling back to the scales. Like I said this is a very low budget opperation. Now a totaly wrecked chassis and we have a newer one comming, nice thing it is a gift form another racer from PA. One good thing the driver is a rookie who is haveing fun still and maybe by next spring we can give him a better ride till then we tell him to hang in their. Funny thing is we have over 200 yrs of experiance working on this car in 5 guys maybe even more everyone who works on it has raced one point in his life or owned cars. Lots of experiance so at the track makeing changes is real easy and useally the right change no guessing with this crew. Just make sure you bring a lot of beer they still love to drink and for the most good for a lot of laughs. The downfall to it is they all think raceing is like it used to be back in the 50's man do they have a lot to learn their. They used to build everything and just slap it on a car and go out and win races now it is a little more soffisticated and homemade parts don't alway cut it on these chassis. But what the hey we do our best anyways. The other team I was crew cheif on we did awsome winning a lot of races and even leading the points championship untill we broke a motor. We cracked a block and the motor builder found nothing wrong with it and after 3 weeks of DNF's we lost the championship and went to 3rd overall in points. This is one sport you can come to hate when things don't go to well But when they do you would do it every day.
Good Luck

Hey another bad night on Friday. Started 16th in the feature and where up into 10th afer 10 laps when the red flag came out. Driver pulled in and said the motor was over heating and he could hear the rocker arm bouncing and didnt want to blow it up. Looked at the radiator and it was plugged shut full of mud. Man we were having a great run would have been in the top 5 maybe even top 3. Waiting for that first win I know where gonna get it we have as good as mtor as anybody else a great driver just need to get the setup in this new chasis. :-\
-
dont worry it will come and when you get it it will be the best feeling youll ever get
-
Yeh we have had a rough year after two great years with a bunch of wins now this season none so far and not even in top 25 in points with all the DNF's.
-
Well here are a few pictures of what is left of the race car after the wreck it is total junk

Great Thread!
Fan for a long time of DIRT. Really like Jack Johnson but am also a Billy Decker fan. Tim McCredie got some good genes from his oldman. He is gonna be a real star one day.
Also a big fan of the Outlaws. Really like Danny Lasoski and Sammy Swindell.
Was gonna do it this year but we bought a differant house, so next year I will find myself into a Sportsman ride. I will buy the car, motor etc.. I plan to run in next years season at Canandaigua and Weedsport.

Just saw the pic Wayne. To bad the car looks terrible but the cage looks real good, did its job well.

Yea the cage did the job it was built for, both drivers walked away unhurt. The chasis was chrome-moly and most of the welds broke as did a lot of the cross members. The 2by4 main frame was bent close to 4 inches and the cage section was tweeked abot 3 inches. Not bad for putting the car about 30 ft in the air and landing on its nose. The rims and tires were all spares as the ones that were on the car during the race were junk the front axle has a 45 deg bend in it and no trailing arms are attached to the car either. Like I said it is total junk. Now we wait for the end of the season to see what comes up for sale and start all over. The real kick in the butt is the kid who created this mess got away without a scratch on his car. Seems to be the way it always goes. At least both drivers will get to drive another day.
