hold on, these picks werent chosen based on any kind of inside information are they?

[Todd Putnam]

Yes, I bought all these teams with the money I made based on some inside Wall Street info I rec'd from Martha Stewart prior to it crashing.

Also, I wanted to post this before the R/C Police come and arrest me.

Did you also know that I was the persona portrayed in Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody?

Legend you are correct, Im not a Tim Fuller fan either but he has alot of exp. and knows how to win this race. If I were to pick with my heart I would love to see Jimmy Phelps [TROYER]or Dale Planck[TEO] win as I consider these guys friends. :thumbsup:

Or was it that special fuel in the cell??

[rj14]

TP

was listening earlier online and missed Sportsman.....how did Ridley run? Also since I missed the last groups of BB, where can I go to find results of todays laps?

Oh, and the 358's were flying! Coffey to the top!

Thanks
rj

[Todd Putnam]

Wow! We have a 5 way tie so far, each with (4) correct picks:

-Solly
-Ovalman
-Markny
-glgraphix
-kf23

Also, there are 11 more still in the running, based on the race results this weekend, who each had (3) correct picks:

-hotshoe8t
-jeffvinyltrix
-Todd Putnam
-teamrc
-waitaminute
-almxup
-shannzilla
-tqcells
-briand
-rj14
-teopro27

-The Legend only had 2 correct picks, but they both were in the exact order...whoa...wanna play the ponies?!?

SheriffM1: Thanks for the vote of confidence. I had the pole but didn't pass tech- D.I.R.T. said NiMh's aren't legal...rats.

Breckenridge: I loved your post, but we need to talk...With Balough winning, you must have picked Blaney to drop out, because if he ever finishes again, he will win. :thumbsup:

Kevin doesn't time until tomorrow.

dirttrackdigest.com and dougsdirtdiary.com are both good sites-:thumbsup:

[almxdup]

Any links to pics of the "batmobile 2" that tried to get through tech. I've been lookiong for results and photos but no luck. thanks for the update Todd.

Oh, and Ronnie Johnson is driving Bobby Hearn's TEO house car, (and yes Solly, I did have inside info on that a long time ago) and that thing is awesome. He had it too tight for time trials, but still laid down a serious lap considering how bad it pushed into 1.

This is the most beautiful dirt mod ever built...as in ever built, including "Cock Diesel" and "Cock Diesel 2," which were both Bobby's creations as well- even including the Teo Stealth Dirt/Asphalt ride he built for Bryan Goewey.

Pictures do not do this thing justice. An absolute beautiful piece of equipment.

[rj14]

There might be a 3 way tie..... solly says he'll win cause the tie goes to the cool guy. Or maybe he said tool guy?

That's what many are referrring to the TEO house car that Ronnie Johnson is running. (see above post)

have to say vinyl has done wonders for the fields appearance, small blocks and big block field - all the cars look great

So if RJ is in a house car what kind of experimental stuff is up under Brett's Car?

[the Legend]

The "official Team FFnF reporter" will be crewing for the 20x on Friday and Saturday.

Nothing- his car is 3 years old.

[markny]

Sportsman Results(unofficial)


1.Eric Rudolph #0
2.Matt Hulsizer #55
3.Kevin Ridley #20x
4. D'Lario #08
5.Sammy Reakes IV #17k

Took 3 hours for for tech guys to get over to tech the Sportsman. Reakes possibly dqed for illegal carb. spacer. Ridley possibly fined for being 2 pounds underweight.:mad:

Decker won 358 race. Not sure what place Vic Coffey finished,but was dqed for illegal heads.("That thing gotta HEMI?")

56 Sportsman cars,difference between 1st and 24th in time trials was, like 1 second.

[solly]

Sportsman Results(unofficial)


Ridley possibly fined for being 2 pounds underweight.:mad:
.

this is surprising. last time i saw him he was looking a little fat

[the Legend]

We find it a little surprising,also. But Kevin did turn down a hot dog 2 hours before the race,thinking the quarter we taped to the right rear body panel would be good enough!

The car was 30 lbs HEAVY on Inspection day with more fuel in it.

[Todd Putnam]

Fuel is 7 lbs. a gallon, so if he finished with 5 gallons less than what he scaled with it would make him too light.

I told Kevin last year to make sure the car makes weight with an empty fuel cell, as an extra 20-30 pounds won't hurt you...especially at the mile...but if you are light it will KILL you.:confused:

At least he didn't run out of fuel this year-one hurdle cleared!:thumbsup:

For all who didn't get to see it, Kevin was all over the 2nd place car, actually passed him for 2nd at one point only to get passed back when he got boxed in with lapped traffic.

Kevin was all over 2nd like a fat kid on cake - he did an EXCELLENT job...:thumbsup: :beer: :revs:

[markny]

it was the best action going for the sportsman div, Ridley was able to hug the inside wall.i think the crate motor is lacking a bit of power for the miles

[the Legend]

If the crate had more power,they would be 358's. Saturday AM practice the 358's were not much quicker than the Sportsman.

TP, the car has never had a problem with weight before.It even made weight the night at the LOL,when he finished 4th,with pieces missing.
And I don't recall seeing the winner going to the scales.

Congrats to the leadfoot from Wind Gap, PA.!!!!!!!!! Finally gets it done at the Mile!!!!:thumbsup: :checkeredflag: :checkeredflag: :trophy: :trophy: :beer: :beer: :beer: :cool: :cool: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

[siggy99x]

Laubach is going to win at Syracuse one of these days Congrats to Cozze bringing the win home for the PA gang!!

[JASONHastings]

Nothing- his car is 3 years old.Well I guess it's no big surprise when Scott Bloomquist runs a car for 5 and 6 years at a time.

[the Legend]

Not sure what place Vic Coffey finished,but was dqed for illegal heads.("That thing gotta HEMI?")


Clarification:
Vic was running a Mopar in 358 time trials,and later the drain plug fell out. He started the 358 race with a Chevy motor,finished 2nd and was dqed for an illegal head. Tech took over 3 hours.

Steve Paine's ride...graphics by DRP....NIP!

[jeff@vinyltrix]

who won the contest?

[irocz69]

Congrats to Kevin on his 3rd place finish & "HAPPY BIRTHDAY" !!!!!!! GO FAST TURN LEFT ! Keith Steinle

[the Legend]

I think Wally is the only one to pick Cozze to win Big Block.

[FREEZER]

I think Wally is the only one to pick Cozze to win Big Block.

Bones picked Cozze also. I seen Bob Dinni walking around with a black eye?? I heard there was a problem in tech with the 20x Sportman car. Any imfo on this matter?

[jeff@vinyltrix]

I think Wally is the only one to pick Cozze to win Big Block.

his only correct pick at that!

[the Legend]

I heard there was a problem in tech with the 20x Sportman car. Any imfo on this matter?

The main problem in tech was how long it took before anyone would tech them.(3 hours)
The 17k of Reakes possible illegal carb spacer. The 55 of Hulsizer's carb spacer was cut,but was cut square,therefore deemed legal. The 20x was 2 lbs. light(we still can't figure that one)and may possibly be fined,or be paid half of 3rd place $. The 0 of Rudolph, we didn't stick around to hear of any problems in tech.
As far as black eyes, the Friesen #52 crew and the McAuliffe #23 crew had some words.

[Bulldog_Wally14]

Maybe 2 lbs of gas evaporated in the 3 hours...LOL!

Either way, great run for Kevin!

[Todd Putnam]

After the dust settled Sunday, we had a two-way tie...WITHIN THE SAME FAMILY!

Mark Failing and Keith Failing both had (5) correct picks going into Sunday, but neither picked the Big Block Winner. Mark picked Decker (24th), and Keith picked Brachman (36th).

I used the finishing position of their respective Big Block picks as a tie-breaker to determine the winner- which is Mark Failing!

Congratulations to Mark Failing for winning the 2008 Putnam Propulsion Super Dirt Week Contest. Give us a call M-F, 9-5 EST to claim your prize...:thumbsup::beer:
