Terian-

Duane talks to a lot of the teams, I am unsure of the reasons for these teams not showing but I am sure Duane does.  In this sport that is so short of monies and parts, there are times when teams are trying up to the last minute to get to the race but due to money, parts or personnel not being available they have to back out.  Just the way it goes. 

If we did a list from wishful thinking there would be 10-12 boats minimum in EVERY class at all races!!

I was wondering how the Confirmed List works. I realize that it can't be written in stone, but for half of the confirmed TFH's to change their mind at the last second seems a little creepy. I was wondering if it was more of a wish list than an actual talked to an owner and they're coming list? Not complaining. Love the site and the great updates!! Just wondering

 

 Terian, the list is based off the previous years attendence and conversations I have with team owners, crew, promoters and associations.

This past list had last minute changes and I did not get a chance to update as I found out. In fact the Chicken was even on the edge on not attending and just made it Friday night during show and shine with Robert Mills helping them get there because he was short handed with his crew to bring his boat so he helped Doug to go.

Duane:

Mills lives less than an hour away from Marble Falls and he couldn't find enough crew to help him with his boat.....

I want to respond further to your quote above, but I can't find the smiley's that I need...

Could you please add two smiley's.....one blowing smoke up the ass of the other.....

Just wanted to say congrats to the Speed Sports team.  I think that last run in the finals cemented the fact that you guys have one of the baddest and most consistent hot rods of all time.  Bad air and water that made you think twice and John still drove around a red lit Chicken for the win.  Just awesome!!!

 

From all of us at HLR.  We sincerely apologize to the whole team for completely screwing up John's run.  We were very happy that you still got the number one spot.  You guys were total gentlemen about it.  Thanks.  We love racing you guys!!!

This Message Was Brought to You By The Shell Answer Man......

 

Well Mr. Shell I don't know the hot line you have to any of my crew but if you think for one minute that I was not there because it was a IHBA race you are WRONG I don't care what org I run with I do care about helping these promotors unlike yourself.  

Mr Shell Man SDBA does not even have a fuel class and who the hell cares about points on a nothing class?????????????  They are and always will be just a club!!!!!!!!!  NO MORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!My crew on Sunday night after the Ft. Worth race elected not to attend the Marble Falls race that would be 3 in a row and FW was a hot and tiring weekend for us.  So I decided to help Chicken Boy for the weekend which also I had to pay for my 4 rooms for 3 nights at MF so why not at least use one and go play.  Looking back now you know hind sight is 20-20 I would have elected to do 2 in a row and skip the 3rd race after finding out that the other teams were getting more $$$ for show up than the promotor promised me which was nothing and in this game everyone should be treated the same.  Maybe the last sentence is where your smiley  face with the smoke when it comes to a promotors promises that everyone will be treated the same. 

Or Mr. Shell Man should I have a cleansing of my crew because they did not want to go 3 in a row WOOPS WOOPS wait a second, maybe a minute  

                                                                           

that won't work the last time something got cleansed it didn't WORK either made it worst

 

How about paying for my fuel in the rig to get to San Diego and back I'll show you we just want to go where they have a good purse and a good venue just like MF was last weekend and guess what the promotor did what he said and everyone was treated the same maybe thats the difference in have a real class and not, Remember it is promotors choice in SDBA how the show runs Woops here I am wrong again FW was a short shut down track and all the fuels teams wanted it a 1000 foot deal even the promotor for safety concerns and guess what we heard 100 excuse why not when the Bryan's race had 1000 ft traps set up kind of double standards

But remember Safety Safety Safety should have read more like Safety What, Safety Where, Safety Why

 

A couple back to ya
