Where is this race.[/QUOTE
Not 100% sure but I would gues Oklahoma, Kansas, or Missouri. You see a great big fella a few times. He runs with the OKC crowd I believe. There is a member on here that ran with some of these guys so maybe he will chime in.
You want to see some stuff go here to one of Limpy's video pages and other is dfwss.The originator of cash days!
Limpy
He's doing a secret project!I noticed he was filming at this race and not starting the races. Im not sure how I haven’t watched any of his videos. Guess I’ve always watched 1320 or the racing channel.
I know your use to seeing him here.Kinda weird .I dont even go out anymore.Hes put all the time!I might go out when I get my car done.My health has slowed me down.

went out with some slower cars 1 time.After I sold my Camaro I dont really come put that much.I helped Ronnie Pace when he took his blower engine out and installed a big cid with juice engine!I’ve seen a couple Abody cars show up at the big cash day races. Both were blower cars now that I think about it and neither made it real far. The more I learn about it the more I realize that having thousands of horsepower under the hood isn’t as good as a good chassis on the street.

I was at home and almost went .I had a feeling limpy needed help.He wanted Bird and shane to split because the fuzz was on them all night.Shane wanted to race that's what happened.Limpys wife was in the big end and tried to warn everyone that the fuzz was there but it was too late.In the video you can see at the last second a guy trying to wave at them.If limpy has a bad feeling or leaves you leave.Some guys dont get it.I will never race unless Limpy us thereDid you happen to see any video from cash days last year. A lot of guys from the show ran in it and the Bird brothers driver ended up getting arrested after the final race. He won the race then as soon as he crossed the line two cops cars turned on their lights and locked up him and took the car.

Limpy turned down the street outlaws cause he thought it would ruin street racing and had quit no prep cause the 1st inr he had there were wrecks .He missed the boat in both of them.I’ve been to some similiar events with slower cars and it was pure chaos every time. People have no ides how much goes into getting a race in even one weekend with a field of cars that big.
Are these street cars or 200,000 dollar full blown race cars that break every 3rd pass. Why not just go to the track. I like street racing but why not bring a TF funny car.
I like them both, but you have to realize the costs and risks for each. Th OKC cars are all race now. They'll drive around short distance so there's no solid blocks or external starter drives but those are all spec-built pro chassis with the best in suspension and data logging. On any serious street racing car data logging is the key to being successful.
The MSO cars are a lot slower and more like the typical street cars. Back half deals, some steel race chassis but not top-of-the-line stuff and less for datalogging. I didn't like JJ when the only perspective was the OKC races. And there are significant differences in their approaches to doing a race. But the MSO show has let him grow on me. He's been through a lot, making some bad choices, etc. and keeps getting back up. Those cars are much more like what you'll find on the streets now. We used arm drop when I was doing it but that was long before cell phones and small cameras. I don't ever recall any issues with "jumping" which seems to be why things evolved away from it.

Yeah - I'm in the northeast. We don't have the room for these types of deals. Guys out there can go way out. There's no "way out" around here...lol. We might get 2-3 pairs off and then the cops would be there.
