I know George has some things to 61 00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:59,400 talk about on this, but Mid State Dragway is kind of 62 00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:03,480 becoming a staple of a race. Before the OG Million. 63 00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:06,000 They're getting one together. They've had one I want. 64 00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:09,040 To say the last. I don't know if I know they had 65 00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:11,680 one last year, might have had one a year before that, but I 66 00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:15,240 believe it's a $20,000 race now.

Just off the top of my Dome 80 00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:50,640 here. Look at the date for the next 81 00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:55,120 one. Also look at the price or should 82 00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:57,040 I say the payout for the next one. 83 00:06:57,040 --> 00:07:00,000 Then look at the price, you'll notice the payout went up but 84 00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:03,960 something didn't join it. OK, so these are all reasons why 85 00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:07,240 you should be headed out to mid state September 18th through the 86 00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:09,560 20th.

Where is there to go? 107 00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:12,560 I've had a whole lot going on, man. 108 00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:13,560 I've got. Yeah, we can. 109 00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:16,160 We can do that. PDRA was this past weekend. 110 00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:19,840 Let's do that right off the bat. Yeah, we might as well go into 111 00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:21,240 that, man. I went out there and went 112 00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:23,560 testing, haven't really raced that much this year. 113 00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:26,760 I went to Farmington for the first Mad Dog race this year and 114 00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:29,280 just life caught up with me. I got a lot of stuff going on 115 00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:32,480 right now and just haven't had a lot. 116 00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:35,840 Of time to go racing. Unfortunately this year got to 117 00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:42,039 watch a lot of racing but. Went out there to PDRA and this, 118 00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:46,680 this kind of all starts, I guess really when I think about it, 119 00:08:46,680 --> 00:08:49,800 all kind of starts at like not February of this year, February 120 00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:54,160 of 2025. Got the Chevelle out, turned it 121 00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:56,920 up for the first time. Shook real bad at Darlington 122 00:08:57,200 --> 00:08:59,240 Radio Prep. They were doing some grudge 123 00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:03,600 racing that night. Anyways, racing for the year, 124 00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:09,960 everything was fine last year in November went to IHRA and you 125 00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:12,480 know, I don't claim to 100% know what I'm doing guys. 126 00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:15,280 Like basically I've I've never had anything like what I have 127 00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:18,160 right now. So I'm just learning as I go and 128 00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:21,600 I learned a lot of stuff the hard way and shook the tires 129 00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:25,000 real bad at IHRA. Anybody who watched that live 130 00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:27,080 feed at the lot November last year? 131 00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:30,400 But see that in fact, I want to say I wish we had the clip to 132 00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:33,080 bring in right now, but I know that George sent it to me and 133 00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:35,360 the announcer was like keep an eye on the Chevelle. 134 00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:37,920 It has not gone straight all day long. 135 00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:41,120 He about 8 the wall this time with the other lane about 8 the 136 00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:42,640 center. Line that time blah blah. 137 00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:44,880 I changed a whole bunch of stuff around. 138 00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:47,240 Finally got it down the track. Ended up, I want to say like 139 00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:48,960 19th in the. Field of 32. 140 00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:54,800 Cars fix that all up. Well, I think that all that tire 141 00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:58,280 shake kind of has added up and. Long. 142 00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:02,280 Story short at PDRA this last weekend. 143 00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:05,760 I tested on Thursday. Made the first Test run, 144 00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:11,680 everything was good, went 441, left everything the same needed. 145 00:10:11,680 --> 00:10:13,840 To put a. Just tiny, tiny bit of 146 00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:16,360 preloaded, like half a flat of preloaded to make you go 147 00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:18,560 straight. Everybody was kind of fading 148 00:10:18,560 --> 00:10:22,240 towards center line during that run, so I just wanted to leave 149 00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:24,400 everything the same. I mean, it was a million degrees 150 00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:26,280 guys. Like it was my time. 151 00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:30,800 Slip said 77.1°, it said 75% humidity. 152 00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:34,400 And I can tell you right now that the way that sweat was 153 00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:37,520 dripping down all the rest of me with 20 layer fire suit on in 154 00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:38,880 that race car, I can tell you right. 155 00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:42,680 Now it felt like it was over 100° outside for those two days, 156 00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:46,560 but anyway, go up for the second run. 157 00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:48,600 And realistically, everything's fine. 158 00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:51,200 It repeats the same thing. So say I was getting ready to go 159 00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:54,200 make Q1 that night. I was getting ready to turn a 160 00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:56,520 half flat of. Preload into it and it was. 161 00:10:56,640 --> 00:10:58,360 It'd be everything be good to go. 162 00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:02,560 We hook it up to the push bar at the end of the track and I start 163 00:11:02,560 --> 00:11:04,040 getting pushed back and I hear a. 164 00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:07,800 Almost. It's almost. 165 00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:10,680 A sound as if like something was wrapped around an axle or 166 00:11:10,680 --> 00:11:12,040 something and. It was just. 167 00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:13,520 Beating around in the wheel well. 168 00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:16,320 So it's like, OK, crap, something's broke. 169 00:11:17,560 --> 00:11:20,920 Well, it gets ready to start raining, so we have to rearrange 170 00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:23,560 the car and everything. And the way I was parked it, it 171 00:11:23,560 --> 00:11:25,800 was a different angle to the trailer, so I said. 172 00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:29,920 My dad happened to be here and I said, hey, you get in the car 173 00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:32,000 and I'll push you back so you can hear what I'm hearing. 174 00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:35,080 Something broke in here. He goes back and. 175 00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:37,720 We push him back and he's like, yeah, something broke in the 176 00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:39,920 rear end or something like that, is what I think. 177 00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:43,320 Well Long story short, the reason I got a gear oil up in my 178 00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:45,520 nose. I tore the whole rear end apart 179 00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:48,840 today. And we initially thought the 180 00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:52,560 ring and pinion was broke and. We looked through the through 181 00:11:52,560 --> 00:11:54,800 the. Fill hole in the top and 182 00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:58,600 spinning the tires and everything and I looked and I 183 00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:00,200 said man, I don't really see anything. 184 00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:03,480 I see some shiny spots on the gear and then dad was looking 185 00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:05,960 down in there and he said oh maybe I can see some something 186 00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:07,960 on the pinion gear. Well I took the whole thing 187 00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:09,360 apart. It's sitting on my workbench 188 00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:11,240 downstairs and took it apart right before the show. 189 00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:14,680 Had to go in and literally wash myself from here to here. 190 00:12:14,680 --> 00:12:18,320 Was all black on both arms. So I changed my shirt, did all 191 00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:20,720 that stuff, got ready for some going bracket racing live like 192 00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:22,080 we do every single Tuesday night. 193 00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:25,760 Had to get out here for y'all. But anyway, I took the the whole 194 00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:29,680 center chunk out and everything. Took both axles out and 195 00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:31,560 nothing's wrong with any of that stuff, man. 196 00:12:31,560 --> 00:12:33,880 So I'm still trying to hunt down what that sound is. 197 00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:36,200 I mean something. 'S broke because it's clunking 198 00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:39,520 around so something's broke. I just got to figure out what it 199 00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:41,560 is. Then we were thinking is maybe 200 00:12:41,560 --> 00:12:45,360 planetary gears. Well, I just put it, put the car 201 00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:48,720 out of park and move the drive shaft around and made a couple 202 00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:51,280 of revolutions and went back and forth and moved a couple of 203 00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:55,200 resolutions, went back and forth and I can't find that clunk spot 204 00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:56,960 in there. So it's got to be something in 205 00:12:56,960 --> 00:12:58,800 the rear end. So maybe that maybe I got to 206 00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:01,920 look into the spool and maybe the spool splines aren't the 207 00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:06,600 same as the axle splines or I don't know man, but there's a 208 00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:09,120 lot of play in the rear end whenever it was all together. 209 00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:12,000 I can tell you that and I was just like, man, that's that sure 210 00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:17,160 is a lot for for the right tire to move and not the not the left 211 00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:19,360 to move. And because you know a spool, 212 00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:21,920 it's all supposed to be together and it's going to like. 213 00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:25,640 Gears, they're going to have a. Little bit of slop, but this 214 00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:30,160 just seemed like a lot. I mean, like I said, the short 215 00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:32,520 story is there's a cloak somewhere. 216 00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:35,480 And I got to figure out where it's at in a car like that. 217 00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:38,120 You know, everybody, everybody was willing to help me. 218 00:13:39,560 --> 00:13:43,240 Whitlocks, they came over and they got a lot of fast stuff. 219 00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:45,320 They came over and said, man, if it's rear end gear, we got a 220 00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:47,440 rear end gear like let's fix it. We can fix it. 221 00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:50,560 And I just. I'm not at the point really 222 00:13:50,560 --> 00:13:55,960 right now with understanding everything that's going on to to 223 00:13:55,960 --> 00:14:00,400 just slap stuff together and race it the next day going 160 224 00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:04,280 mile an hour in the eighth. You know, it's just I'm not at 225 00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:07,280 that point yet. I don't I don't feel comfortable 226 00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:10,400 doing that. And to be quite honest with you, 227 00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:14,240 like if if something happened and say the axle brakes, like 228 00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:17,160 say the axle does brake and I turn it over or hit the wall or 229 00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:19,160 something, 'cause we. A lot of bad stuff happens 230 00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:20,640 whenever you have a car that'll go one. 231 00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:24,280 Flat 60 foot and it'll 90° in the wall. 232 00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:26,720 I can't afford to fix that. I can't do that. 233 00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:32,000 So it's just not smart. So brought it back to the shop. 234 00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:37,680 You know, going into the whole PDRA weekend, the cool part 235 00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:39,840 about that is you don't have to feel. 236 00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:43,080 Well, first of all, it was at Galat, 20 minutes from my house, 237 00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:45,040 that. Made it a lot easier to decide 238 00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:46,800 like, oh, it's not worth it, you know? 239 00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:52,240 But what's cool about PDRA is that there's a lot of cool 240 00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:55,200 things to watch. You didn't just travel 1000 241 00:14:55,200 --> 00:15:00,000 miles and slowed up and go home like it's it's an entire event 242 00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:01,760 in itself. You got nitrous pro mods, 243 00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:03,800 boosted pro mods. You got the Pro Street class, 244 00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:06,240 which is probably my favorite class out of all the classes to 245 00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:08,920 be honest with you. A105 tire class. 246 00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:12,400 They got Pro Mod motors in it. One of my Mad Dog buddies, Derek 247 00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:16,680 Brown, he's running it now with the car he was running Mad Dog 248 00:15:16,680 --> 00:15:18,400 with last year. He put his Pro Mod motor in 249 00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:21,320 there. I mean, they go three 90s in 250 00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:24,520 that type of air. They go three 90s and. 251 00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:28,760 Scott King Kade, at one point I think he went like 395 and at 252 00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:31,600 400 feet, he still had the front end like a foot off the ground. 253 00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:34,800 I mean, it's it's awesome. That's probably the coolest 254 00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:37,800 class that PDRA offers right now in my opinion. 255 00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:42,280 But just in general being able, you know? 256 00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:45,680 PDRA is in my wheelhouse. That's all the stuff I like, 257 00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:50,560 Like everything there. Those are the people that I want 258 00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:53,880 to ask like what do you think about this? 259 00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:57,520 How do you, what do you do in this scenario? 260 00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:01,640 And somebody can say, oh, I did that before because it's hard 261 00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:06,760 for me. I have stuff that I don't like. 262 00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:11,320 My friends don't have what I have as far as like the style of 263 00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:13,960 car. So I don't have anybody that 264 00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:17,800 bounce ideas off of and learning stuff the hard way isn't exactly 265 00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:20,240 fun. So I could ask a lot of people 266 00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:23,080 out there that have something similar to me and I could say, 267 00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:26,360 what do you think about this? Or or they saw my car with front 268 00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:28,560 end off and they said hey, have you thought about doing? 269 00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:31,760 This, we did this, ours used to be like that. 270 00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:33,720 We did this and we it made it better. 271 00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:38,160 So it's just cool. I, I enjoy those types of 272 00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:42,200 conversations. I enjoy learning about what I 273 00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:44,440 have and new challenges and things like that. 274 00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:47,400 And there's people there that can help you achieve your goals. 275 00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:52,080 But in I guess in the grand scheme of things, the thing I 276 00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:57,160 like most about PDRA was the fact that they have a lot going 277 00:16:57,160 --> 00:16:59,840 on. They stuck to a schedule. 278 00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:04,200 Like I'm talking that they had a schedule lined out in like 9 279 00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:06,720 minute increments. Like they didn't say, oh, we're 280 00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:09,200 going to start pro. Boost at 10. 30 we're going to 281 00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:14,119 run pro nitrous at 10 at 11 and then we're going to run bracket 282 00:17:14,119 --> 00:17:16,640 bash 11:30. They said like we're going to 283 00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:21,640 run pro boost at 10:45, then we're going to run Pro Street 284 00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:27,800 at, you know, at 10:57 or something like that. 285 00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:30,680 And then they'd say and then pro Street's going to start at 11 O 286 00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:33,480 9 and like. And they stuck to that. 287 00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:34,480 Man. It was wild. 288 00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:40,000 I've never been somewhere that was so lined out and they had a 289 00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:41,600 couple. Crashes in the shutdown and they 290 00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:43,760 had a couple oil downs and things like that. 291 00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:46,760 So what they would do is. If they're ahead of schedule, 292 00:17:46,760 --> 00:17:49,360 they keep pushing forward because they know at some point 293 00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:51,920 there's going to be something that happens and it's going to 294 00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:53,600 put them. Behind, but now they're on 295 00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:57,120 schedule and they started and finished on schedule every day. 296 00:17:57,120 --> 00:18:02,760 And I think a lot of a lot of promoters and people could take 297 00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:04,720 a page out of that type of a book. 298 00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:06,320 Yeah, man. Let's go there real quick 299 00:18:06,360 --> 00:18:10,600 though, you know, and I I think it's we probably can't take all 300 00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:12,520 of that thought process and bring it over here to the 301 00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:15,120 bracket race in the big money bracket racing side of things. 302 00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:18,160 Kind of similar to how we do it, in my opinion, at the local 303 00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:21,480 races kind of for us weekend warriors. 304 00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:24,280 Yet you see more of a schedule that you're able to keep up 305 00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:25,880 with. Maybe you got five class going 306 00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:28,320 down the track. Maybe you just have a couple, 307 00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:32,320 maybe 3, you know, but you know, it's, it's interesting that you 308 00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:36,280 say you were able to get in and out of classes pretty quickly 309 00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:38,480 there. Do you think that that's 310 00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:41,640 possible to, to be something that we can do at big money 311 00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:44,440 bracket racing? I personally don't just based on 312 00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:47,200 how many cars that there are, but did you see anything that we 313 00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:50,640 can kind of take as a, hey, this is this works for PDRA. 314 00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:52,280 Can we use it in in bracket racing? 315 00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:58,920 I agree with you as far as the just the sheer number of cars. 316 00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:01,120 I mean there was a lot of cars there this weekend and they were 317 00:19:01,120 --> 00:19:04,240 all single entries. So every car is an entry there. 318 00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:09,200 I would still be willing to bet there was around 200 cars, which 319 00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:11,560 obviously that's nothing compared to a big money bracket 320 00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:14,520 race because you're talking 200 cars going to be 400 entries. 321 00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:17,720 I mean, it's it's not even the same realm the. 322 00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:22,280 Point is, is that there was no. There was, there was not that 323 00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:24,800 typical time of where you would say. 324 00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:27,200 What's going on? Like, why are we all standing 325 00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:29,200 here? Because we've all been at that 326 00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:32,720 point where we're like, why are we not doing anything? 327 00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:35,120 Why has nothing? Why has there been no sounds? 328 00:19:35,120 --> 00:19:38,040 For, you know, the tracks been prepped, it's been drug, all 329 00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:43,160 that stuff, sprayed, whatever, and now it's been 45 minutes and 330 00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:46,320 it doesn't take that long to figure if somebody wants to 331 00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:51,360 agree to a split or not. You know, so I guess the the 332 00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:54,760 thing that I would say is that to take a page. 333 00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:57,920 From their book is you can't do everything exactly how they do 334 00:19:57,920 --> 00:20:01,160 it just because of the sheer number of cars, but there. 335 00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:03,960 Is a lot of downtime at some of these big money races? 336 00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:05,560 Yeah. I think I, I think one thing 337 00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:10,960 that you said that I feel is, is absolutely something we should 338 00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:14,600 take and maybe hold on to is the fact where you said you didn't 339 00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:18,680 hear downtime and the reasoning behind that thought processor. 340 00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:22,600 The continuing to go and go and go and go was in case there is 341 00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:26,120 an oil down. Now you've gathered so much time 342 00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:30,520 for the sake of almost finishing the race early. 343 00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:33,120 Like whoever said there was something wrong with finishing a 344 00:20:33,120 --> 00:20:36,560 drag race early. I don't, I don't know who did 345 00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:39,320 who said that. I'd actually prefer to get it 346 00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:42,080 done early. That way we can fire up the BBQ 347 00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:44,640 grill, maybe shoot the breeze a little bit, you know, turn 348 00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:47,040 bracket racing into what you said. 349 00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:51,280 PDRA is the ability for other erasers to see what you might 350 00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:53,600 have under the hood, what you might be working on, and then 351 00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:56,840 turn it into more of a education, but you know, kind of 352 00:20:56,840 --> 00:21:00,480 an education deal too. You know, you never know if old 353 00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:04,200 Troy from FTI or, or Gary from FTI walked past you and say, 354 00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:05,880 hey, you know, I see you struggling with that 355 00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:08,000 transmission. I got 1 sitting over here that 356 00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:10,280 I'll sell you for the cheap. You know what I mean, dude, 357 00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:13,240 there's, there's always opportunities if the race is 358 00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:17,280 over, you know, But I just think maybe that's something we can, 359 00:21:17,360 --> 00:21:19,600 we can Rob almost from PDRA thought. 360 00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:24,320 Well, I would say the main thing is, is then then you have the 361 00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:27,680 opportunity to have your golf cart races, have your gamblers 362 00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:30,000 races, your things that add to the promoter's. 363 00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:32,880 Pocket your things that add to the tracks pocket or just 364 00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:36,440 generally make a fun environment where you know, we always talk 365 00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:39,320 about, you know, on on. Previous episodes we've always 366 00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:43,480 talked about how like megabucks, something we're very familiar 367 00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:47,080 with running a gateway, one of the original big money series 368 00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:51,520 type events. Where at the end of the night? 369 00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:53,600 They would always have a gambler's race of megabucks 370 00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:57,600 almost every single time and people put people in their cars 371 00:21:57,600 --> 00:21:59,400 and other people be driving other people's cars. 372 00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:05,440 It was just more of a fun. Thing like like, OK, well in my 373 00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:08,880 personal example, Barry Green put me in his car one time and 374 00:22:09,120 --> 00:22:11,520 Barry waved like 300 and something pounds. 375 00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:15,600 I weighed maybe like 145 lbs at that point when I'm like 16 and 376 00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:17,800 he said hey young. And get in my car because I 377 00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:20,440 already started drinking beer and I entered this gambler's 378 00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:21,920 race and didn't think they were going to have it. 379 00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:24,640 So you get in there. So I get in there and run it. 380 00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:26,680 And we started out dialed 5 flat. 381 00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:27,800 And then the. Semifinals. 382 00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:29,800 We were dialed like 482 or something. 383 00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:35,240 Like that so, and I mean it's, it's just fun because. 384 00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:38,600 You can have fun when it's $100 entry fee for a gambler's race 385 00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:40,840 and stuff, and you can put people in other cars and just 386 00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:44,680 just have a good time. Because you didn't expect to win 387 00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:47,320 anything, you know? Yeah, pretty neat, pretty neat. 388 00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:48,920 It would be nice to get back to that. 389 00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:52,280 I know that right now though, we do have what I would consider a 390 00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:55,360 good problem and that's a lot of entries at our big money bracket 391 00:22:55,360 --> 00:22:58,080 races. I, I definitely don't want to 392 00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:00,480 see go the, the other direction, let's put it that way. 393 00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:04,400 But maybe here after a while, I got another thought in the back 394 00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:07,360 of my head. Maybe we can jump into after we 395 00:23:07,360 --> 00:23:08,760 get out of commercial break or something. 396 00:23:08,760 --> 00:23:10,680 We don't got to go there yet, Tom. 397 00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:13,320 I think I got like 9 minutes left before we need to queue to 398 00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:16,840 queue to band up. Get ready to let the marketing 399 00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:18,840 partners speak to you, but not Casey. 400 00:23:18,840 --> 00:23:20,160 I thought it was pretty interesting. 401 00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:24,280 You know, as you mentioned, there was a live stream that NC 402 00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:27,680 Pro Mater was putting on and you know, I think I was probably 403 00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:30,040 going to buy flow anyway just in case, you know, you were going 404 00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:31,600 to be going. But once I heard you weren't 405 00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:35,640 going up, of course didn't buy flow, but you sent me a link to 406 00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:38,640 to PDRA schedule for the weekend. 407 00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:42,040 I mean to tell you it was spot on because I would jump on NC 408 00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:46,240 pro Mater and every time I would jump in there, it would be right 409 00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:49,200 on top of top sportsman. So you would be like four or 410 00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:52,880 five cars down the way and NC Pro Mater would say Casey's 411 00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:54,840 right around the corner. George is going to be coming up 412 00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:57,200 here in a little bit, you know, kind of letting me know where 413 00:23:57,200 --> 00:24:01,280 you were and, and then chiming in and and, you know, giving 414 00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:03,280 good words to you, what you had going on and stuff. 415 00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:05,080 Dude, so pretty.

And that's just really cool of 436 00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:53,000 him to do that because he didn't, he didn't need to do 437 00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:55,120 that. But I mean, NC Pro Mater is 438 00:24:55,120 --> 00:24:58,040 always willing to go above and beyond if he anybody ever has 439 00:24:58,040 --> 00:25:02,560 the opportunity to have.

Number one, that's your guy to 442 00:25:07,320 --> 00:25:09,560 do it because he's very. Easy to work with and always 443 00:25:09,560 --> 00:25:11,480 willing to do a great job. He'll stand out. 444 00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:14,160 I mean, he was out there felt like 100° all week. 445 00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:16,200 He's out there all week right there on the starting line. 446 00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:20,880 The cool part about ENC Pro Mater is people will come up and 447 00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:24,880 he makes it a point to know like what kind of hardships are they 448 00:25:24,880 --> 00:25:27,200 dealing with? What did they just do? 449 00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:29,400 How it like did they just win championships? 450 00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:31,920 Have they just started? Have they switched to motor? 451 00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:33,280 Where they dealing with transmission? 452 00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:36,200 Issues Was it dying on the start like all this stuff? 453 00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:37,760 He knows the.

Well, he gives you the. 460 00:25:56,920 --> 00:26:01,000 Ability to relate to the racers. And but anyway, that's a long, 461 00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:05,600 long winded way of saying thanks to the NC Pro Mater for going 462 00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:08,400 out of his way to get the camera shots to make sure my car's 463 00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:10,280 working right.

There are certain things that 480 00:26:56,320 --> 00:26:59,080 you can learn certain things from sensors, like I got a lot 481 00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:01,320 of sensors on the car. And stuff like that. 482 00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:06,480 But like stuff like tire tracks, oh, I can't ever see that. 483 00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:10,000 I'll never be able to see that I'm in the car so. 484 00:27:10,760 --> 00:27:13,360 Driving by the seat of your pants only gets you so far, and 485 00:27:13,360 --> 00:27:15,160 then even data only gets you so far. 486 00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:18,440 At a certain point you need a.

I typically can do that, but for 580 00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:16,720 some reason today I didn't do that good of a job. 581 00:32:17,520 --> 00:32:20,160 So I'll just read this flat out. We'll see what this comment says 582 00:32:20,160 --> 00:32:24,120 because I'm ready yet, Ferguson. Since I spectate more than I get 583 00:32:24,120 --> 00:32:27,480 to race, I like to get there and get good footage for the people. 584 00:32:27,920 --> 00:32:29,960 So. So basically taking video of the 585 00:32:29,960 --> 00:32:32,560 track, that's something also to do something to, something to 586 00:32:32,560 --> 00:32:34,760 put up, get more people interested in everything. 587 00:32:35,080 --> 00:32:37,880 George, I'm sure you'll be busy. I won't be on the track this 588 00:32:37,880 --> 00:32:41,600 weekend, but I'll be sure to be back on the mic. 589 00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:44,240 Hopefully going to get back to racing before too long. 590 00:32:44,280 --> 00:32:45,600 It really sucks not being able to. 591 00:32:45,600 --> 00:32:49,960 That's from Colin 5. X Tom Worthington between rain 592 00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:53,040 outs and heat outs, have been down the track since mid June. 593 00:32:53,800 --> 00:32:56,440 I can I feel you there, Tom. I mean, I can tell you right now 594 00:32:56,800 --> 00:32:58,680 it was definitely hot this weekend. 595 00:32:58,680 --> 00:33:02,920 It's I put this Mr. Cool in here and realized how much better it 596 00:33:02,920 --> 00:33:04,560 works and I need. One of them in my trailer. 597 00:33:04,560 --> 00:33:06,880 I see why people put those in there, that's for sure. 598 00:33:06,880 --> 00:33:08,680 What? You see over there? 599 00:33:08,680 --> 00:33:10,800 On Facebook side. Shout out to Accelerated 600 00:33:10,800 --> 00:33:12,880 Graphics too. They they hooked me up with a 601 00:33:12,880 --> 00:33:16,000 mini split here recently and I'll be throwing one in my 602 00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:17,760 trailer. So, you know, overheating 603 00:33:17,760 --> 00:33:21,840 doesn't happen again to this one guy I know at Ardmore, Ardmore 604 00:33:21,840 --> 00:33:23,720 Dragway. That was me, by the way. 605 00:33:23,720 --> 00:33:27,360 But yeah, I see Tom Worthington over here on the Facebook or 606 00:33:27,360 --> 00:33:29,640 YouTube side, actually Casey, and he's got a pretty good 607 00:33:29,640 --> 00:33:32,400 question here. This season seemed as though a 608 00:33:32,400 --> 00:33:36,520 lot of more local bracket races canceled due to iffy weather 609 00:33:36,920 --> 00:33:41,600 forecasts and a new one canceling due to hot weather. 610 00:33:41,600 --> 00:33:43,720 Huh. Yeah, man, that's it's been a 611 00:33:43,720 --> 00:33:46,040 real interesting year for drag racing as a whole. 612 00:33:46,040 --> 00:33:49,680 If you want me to be honest. I feel like the rain between 613 00:33:49,680 --> 00:33:54,080 rain and high gas prices, weather just doesn't messing 614 00:33:54,080 --> 00:33:56,600 with the weather doesn't seem like something anybody wants to 615 00:33:56,600 --> 00:33:58,920 do right now. Casey, take it. 616 00:33:58,920 --> 00:34:00,960 Take your cue from my comment there, man. 617 00:34:00,960 --> 00:34:03,240 And and Tom's comment on the YouTube side, it's pretty good 618 00:34:03,240 --> 00:34:06,840 one. Yeah, man, it's, it gets pretty 619 00:34:06,840 --> 00:34:09,000 rough. I mean, you know, like I saw 620 00:34:09,040 --> 00:34:12,159 somebody say it, North Carolina gets hot in the summertime is 621 00:34:12,159 --> 00:34:15,880 what it is. Man, I just feel like this 622 00:34:15,880 --> 00:34:18,159 summer has been unbelievably hot though. 623 00:34:18,159 --> 00:34:21,480 I mean, last summer I felt like was unbelievably hot also. 624 00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:26,199 You know, I don't, I don't know what to tell you, man. 625 00:34:26,199 --> 00:34:31,040 It's it's just crazy. How how hot it has really been 626 00:34:31,040 --> 00:34:34,679 this year and how much it's rained at at four times. 627 00:34:34,679 --> 00:34:36,840 I know by you it's rained out. A ton. 628 00:34:37,679 --> 00:34:41,960 So I think that we're artificially having a quote, bad 629 00:34:41,960 --> 00:34:45,800 season for racing. But it's really not been that 630 00:34:45,800 --> 00:34:47,679 bad. I it's not because the car 631 00:34:47,679 --> 00:34:49,760 counts have been down, it's just because of the weather. 632 00:34:49,760 --> 00:34:54,120 And don't forget, typically if the weather's bad, that means 633 00:34:54,120 --> 00:34:56,480 that a lot of people aren't spending money, which means next 634 00:34:56,480 --> 00:34:59,760 year's going to be still just as good because all those people 635 00:34:59,760 --> 00:35:01,840 didn't spend all that money going raising, they didn't wear 636 00:35:01,840 --> 00:35:03,320 the parts. Out things like that. 637 00:35:03,680 --> 00:35:07,040 So I guess there is a bright side of that situation, knowing 638 00:35:07,040 --> 00:35:13,320 that next season might be more on solid ground regardless of 639 00:35:13,480 --> 00:35:16,680 economic situations. It'd be nice it it would, you 640 00:35:16,680 --> 00:35:19,000 know, and get a chance to do a little bit more Drag Race and 641 00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:22,600 even myself, I think I've been out a handful of times and it's 642 00:35:22,600 --> 00:35:24,920 very low. Each time I've wanted to go out, 643 00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:28,760 it's either raining or, or, or I got a baseball game to go to, 644 00:35:29,160 --> 00:35:32,120 you know what I mean? So those things are are starting 645 00:35:32,120 --> 00:35:34,280 to take take time. You know how it goes at a 646 00:35:34,280 --> 00:35:35,920 certain age when your kids get there. 647 00:35:35,920 --> 00:35:39,360 So there's that. I am going to shout out what 648 00:35:39,360 --> 00:35:42,120 Jeremy Rosenthal saying over here on the Facebook side real 649 00:35:42,120 --> 00:35:44,600 quick.

That is a very good call out 661 00:36:19,800 --> 00:36:23,440 over here and I hope you guys get that one back together 662 00:36:23,560 --> 00:36:26,920 pretty soon as that was that was pretty rough it look like. 663 00:36:27,920 --> 00:36:31,200 Yeah, Austin Day saying over here talking about whenever we 664 00:36:31,200 --> 00:36:33,880 were saying more of the scheduling type stuff, Austin 665 00:36:33,880 --> 00:36:39,200 Day says remember a he remembers a big buy in poker tournament 666 00:36:39,200 --> 00:36:41,520 for some of the no box racers going into the middle of the 667 00:36:41,520 --> 00:36:43,440 night. Yeah, that's the type of stuff, 668 00:36:43,440 --> 00:36:44,760 man. Like whenever you stick to a 669 00:36:44,760 --> 00:36:46,560 schedule, you can have cool stuff like that. 670 00:36:46,560 --> 00:36:50,080 All the cool stories from all the people who are in their say, 671 00:36:50,080 --> 00:36:53,440 60s right now from like the Moroso 5 day and things like 672 00:36:53,440 --> 00:36:54,680 that. It includes. 673 00:36:54,680 --> 00:36:57,200 That type of stuff and. They weren't short on cars back 674 00:36:57,200 --> 00:36:59,240 then either. Yeah, a ton of cars too. 675 00:36:59,640 --> 00:37:01,640 And that's where all the memories are made and all the 676 00:37:01,640 --> 00:37:06,000 fun stories come from is getting the show done and over with and 677 00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:09,760 then having fun afterwards. So you go there to race, but 678 00:37:09,760 --> 00:37:11,160 when? The race is over, you're still 679 00:37:11,160 --> 00:37:16,320 on vacation, and I think that a lot of people have lost sight of 680 00:37:16,760 --> 00:37:19,360 keeping the show going. Get the show on the road. 681 00:37:19,360 --> 00:37:21,880 Let's get stuff done. I know me and me and Champ were 682 00:37:21,880 --> 00:37:24,840 talking about that this last weekend, by the way he did. 683 00:37:24,840 --> 00:37:28,160 Win one more round than me. Unfortunately it was only round 684 00:37:28,160 --> 00:37:33,920 one, but the fact that matter is, is that, you know, we were 685 00:37:33,920 --> 00:37:37,040 talking about that. I'm just how much more fun it is 686 00:37:37,040 --> 00:37:39,280 to it's more of a laid back situation. 687 00:37:39,280 --> 00:37:42,040 You you go there to race, everybody goes there to race, 688 00:37:42,040 --> 00:37:43,560 everybody goes there to win the race. 689 00:37:44,400 --> 00:37:47,960 But it is also your hobby. And you will need to have fun 690 00:37:47,960 --> 00:37:50,280 doing that. And I think that a lot of people 691 00:37:50,280 --> 00:37:53,960 have got it to where it's so serious, you know, promoters 692 00:37:53,960 --> 00:37:56,840 included, because there's a lot of money on the line. 693 00:37:56,840 --> 00:37:59,240 There's a lot of money to be made, a lot of money to be paid 694 00:37:59,240 --> 00:38:01,800 out. So they have to be more serious, 695 00:38:01,800 --> 00:38:04,600 too. But PDRA showed me. 696 00:38:04,840 --> 00:38:06,920 And you know, a lot of this stuff, like Spring Fling, for 697 00:38:06,920 --> 00:38:08,960 example, there's a lot of workers there right now that 698 00:38:08,960 --> 00:38:10,520 I've seen working at Spring Fling. 699 00:38:11,120 --> 00:38:14,680 So they're the same people, you know. 700 00:38:14,680 --> 00:38:18,640 So at the end of the day, I just think that the whole sticking to 701 00:38:18,640 --> 00:38:23,360 a schedule thing just to just to, you know, basically repeat 702 00:38:23,360 --> 00:38:26,760 what I've already said is something that we need to look 703 00:38:26,760 --> 00:38:30,880 into following more of in 2027. So here's one for you that I'm 704 00:38:30,880 --> 00:38:34,280 going to bring up and then I'm going to shift gears to another 705 00:38:34,280 --> 00:38:37,840 topic that I feel like I want to talk to the Sarge over here. 706 00:38:37,840 --> 00:38:39,760 That's my man KG. He's talking about. 707 00:38:39,760 --> 00:38:44,960 He's been racing in the heat and night and day and he just been 708 00:38:44,960 --> 00:38:46,880 stinking it up. That's basically what he said 709 00:38:46,880 --> 00:38:48,320 here. It's just it's not my word, 710 00:38:48,320 --> 00:38:50,160 guys. These are his words, right? 711 00:38:50,160 --> 00:38:54,160 I'm just reading them, he said. What does everybody think about 712 00:38:54,160 --> 00:38:58,680 readjusting the race schedule to race at night during the hot 713 00:38:58,680 --> 00:39:01,760 days? I'm going to go first because I 714 00:39:01,760 --> 00:39:05,560 feel like there's it. It'll lead me after your answer, 715 00:39:05,560 --> 00:39:11,320 Casey, into my next point. I, I am getting to the point to 716 00:39:11,320 --> 00:39:16,360 where my eyes get heavy at a certain point of night and 717 00:39:16,360 --> 00:39:19,840 racing through the night. Getting home at 4:00 and 5:00 in 718 00:39:19,840 --> 00:39:23,520 the morning isn't always something that I enjoy doing 719 00:39:23,520 --> 00:39:25,160 nowadays. I'm going to leave it at that 720 00:39:25,160 --> 00:39:28,160 Casey and let you go from there. I feel like if we adjust the 721 00:39:28,160 --> 00:39:33,160 time to start at like 6 or 7 in the in the night time, we all, 722 00:39:33,280 --> 00:39:37,560 we open up the ability to get home every single night at the 723 00:39:37,560 --> 00:39:40,160 next morning, maybe 6:00 AM. What do you think, Casey? 724 00:39:41,640 --> 00:39:46,240 Whenever I first started racing I-57 drag strip was my very 725 00:39:46,240 --> 00:39:48,920 first race. And you know me and you both 726 00:39:48,920 --> 00:39:51,440 grew up there. It's it wasn't what it is now. 727 00:39:51,640 --> 00:39:54,360 Back whenever, Royce. Had it, it was, it was just your 728 00:39:54,360 --> 00:40:00,680 typical, you know, grassroots race, race facility and. 729 00:40:01,720 --> 00:40:04,560 Dad always said whenever you were going home, the sun was 730 00:40:04,560 --> 00:40:06,560 coming up, that's when you knew you would did good. 731 00:40:06,920 --> 00:40:10,240 And I can't tell you how many times we came home from I-57 732 00:40:10,240 --> 00:40:13,440 drag strip at and it was. This is summertime, so five in 733 00:40:13,440 --> 00:40:14,680 the. Mornings when the sun's coming 734 00:40:14,680 --> 00:40:16,120 up over the fields and everything. 735 00:40:16,520 --> 00:40:20,000 I can't tell you how many times we came home Sunday morning 736 00:40:20,000 --> 00:40:25,080 about 5:00 in the morning and. When you're a kid, that's OK, 737 00:40:25,080 --> 00:40:26,600 you have no responsibilities or whatever. 738 00:40:26,600 --> 00:40:30,240 When you're an adult, like I can tell you right now, my little 739 00:40:30,240 --> 00:40:34,280 boys maximum is going to be. Awake at 7:00 every single day 740 00:40:34,400 --> 00:40:38,520 at the latest. So I mean, it's, you know, it's, 741 00:40:38,720 --> 00:40:41,960 it's just, it's not in the cards anymore. 742 00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:45,120 That's just not something that can be done anymore, so. 743 00:40:46,000 --> 00:40:48,680 Now, if I've got the RV out with me, you know, and that makes 744 00:40:48,680 --> 00:40:52,400 things a little bit, a little bit different, you know, getting 745 00:40:52,400 --> 00:40:55,680 done drag racing 2/3 in the morning and, and going up into 746 00:40:55,680 --> 00:40:57,720 the RV and going to bed, that's that's something a little 747 00:40:57,720 --> 00:41:00,120 different. Getting done two or three in the 748 00:41:00,120 --> 00:41:02,240 morning and driving an hour and a half back to Sherman, for the 749 00:41:02,240 --> 00:41:04,240 most part, that gets a little hectic. 750 00:41:06,000 --> 00:41:09,200 Yeah, man, it's, and that's what I have to do too, because it's 751 00:41:09,200 --> 00:41:11,520 either that or I got to stay in a hotel, which means I got to 752 00:41:11,520 --> 00:41:14,680 leave my trailer at the at the racetrack and go back and hook 753 00:41:14,680 --> 00:41:16,840 up to it the next day and still drive all the way home. 754 00:41:17,920 --> 00:41:21,400 So I mean, it's, there's a lot of people that you know, I 755 00:41:21,400 --> 00:41:23,600 don't, I don't have an RVI, don't have a living quarters 756 00:41:23,600 --> 00:41:24,760 trailer. I don't have any of that stuff. 757 00:41:24,760 --> 00:41:28,200 I don't have AC in my trailer. I tried to use a little roll 758 00:41:28,200 --> 00:41:30,840 around unit. That thing won't get it colder 759 00:41:30,840 --> 00:41:34,880 than about 88° and it'll kill the generator trying to start up 760 00:41:34,880 --> 00:41:36,800 and it just, it doesn't do anything, man. 761 00:41:36,800 --> 00:41:40,880 So I feel, I feel everybody whenever they're talking about, 762 00:41:41,560 --> 00:41:45,960 you know, how hot it is and things like that and, but at the 763 00:41:45,960 --> 00:41:46,720 same. Time. 764 00:41:46,720 --> 00:41:48,680 I don't want to race until 5:00 in the morning and I don't think 765 00:41:48,680 --> 00:41:50,760 there's a lot of places. You can do that anymore either. 766 00:41:51,000 --> 00:41:52,160 Like you can't get away with that. 767 00:41:52,160 --> 00:41:54,280 I know a lot. I want to say their curfews like 768 00:41:54,280 --> 00:41:57,480 11:00. So I mean, they can't even do 769 00:41:57,480 --> 00:42:01,280 that over there. Where we grew up, we, whenever I 770 00:42:01,280 --> 00:42:04,760 moved here, and I think when you moved where you did, we're like 771 00:42:04,760 --> 00:42:06,040 curfew. What are you talking about? 772 00:42:06,280 --> 00:42:08,320 Like we Gateway doesn't even have a curfew. 773 00:42:08,320 --> 00:42:10,600 That's a big facility. Well, I don't think I don't 774 00:42:10,600 --> 00:42:12,160 think we have any curfews around here. 775 00:42:12,160 --> 00:42:15,440 I haven't been to Paris quite yet to know if Paris has one, 776 00:42:15,440 --> 00:42:19,040 but I know XRP doesn't. I really don't think Ennis does 777 00:42:19,040 --> 00:42:20,880 and I'm pretty sure Ardmore doesn't either. 778 00:42:20,880 --> 00:42:24,080 So at the same time, I don't even think Wichita does. 779 00:42:24,080 --> 00:42:27,400 So feel like from a curfew stance, I'm I'm still in good, 780 00:42:27,600 --> 00:42:29,400 good ground in their case, you know, we go all. 781 00:42:29,400 --> 00:42:32,560 Whatever I'm whenever I moved. Here it's like everywhere has a 782 00:42:32,600 --> 00:42:34,040 curfew. I was like, what's that? 783 00:42:34,200 --> 00:42:35,720 Like, what are you, what are you talking about? 784 00:42:36,400 --> 00:42:38,080 Like, oh, yeah, we can't race past 11. 785 00:42:38,080 --> 00:42:40,880 I'm like, I figured it would at least be 1:00 or something like 786 00:42:40,880 --> 00:42:42,840 that, right? Not the case down here. 787 00:42:43,200 --> 00:42:45,720 Our comment, our comment, that comment brings me to kind of a 788 00:42:45,720 --> 00:42:47,880 the next point I wanted to bring up KCS. 789 00:42:48,040 --> 00:42:51,360 We've already talked about mid state and I have confirmed that 790 00:42:51,360 --> 00:42:57,960 Saturday is A20K and Sunday is a 10K for that race that September 791 00:42:57,960 --> 00:43:01,080 18th through the 20th, right before the OG million. 792 00:43:02,240 --> 00:43:03,680 I'm looking for that thing to be packed out. 793 00:43:03,680 --> 00:43:05,600 Guys get it like 300 entries out there. 794 00:43:05,600 --> 00:43:06,960 We'd be good. We'd be in good shape. 795 00:43:07,040 --> 00:43:08,560 I feel like 300 is a good number. 796 00:43:09,160 --> 00:43:15,200 But going from that race over to the OG, you got to bring a game 797 00:43:15,200 --> 00:43:17,760 plan with you, Casey. Even that race would be is going 798 00:43:17,760 --> 00:43:19,480 to have some timing on it, you know what I mean? 799 00:43:19,480 --> 00:43:23,080 But when you get to the OG and we talked about time spent at 800 00:43:23,080 --> 00:43:25,800 the racetrack and what time you're getting done with the 801 00:43:25,800 --> 00:43:31,120 race, I feel like we have to bring up for, you know, some of 802 00:43:31,120 --> 00:43:33,680 the racers that might be newer to the big money scene. 803 00:43:33,680 --> 00:43:35,640 I know right here going bracket racing is a pretty wide 804 00:43:35,640 --> 00:43:37,960 community. We got new, we got professional 805 00:43:37,960 --> 00:43:41,040 racers, we got pro mod racers, we got we got grudge racers, we 806 00:43:41,040 --> 00:43:44,760 got bracket racers, big money bracket, local, local heavy 807 00:43:44,760 --> 00:43:46,920 hitters, local hitters, whatever you want to call us. 808 00:43:47,240 --> 00:43:50,320 We got us all over here on the going bracket racing podcast. 809 00:43:50,680 --> 00:43:54,400 But case we got to talk about the game plan that needs to be 810 00:43:54,400 --> 00:44:00,000 in effect or if anybody is using a game plan to run a race like 811 00:44:00,000 --> 00:44:03,880 the OG million. So much happens after first 812 00:44:03,880 --> 00:44:05,600 round. If you turned on that win light, 813 00:44:06,000 --> 00:44:09,680 you might not get back on the racetrack for 8 hours or better. 814 00:44:09,960 --> 00:44:12,640 So is there a game plan? Talk to me, Casey, because I 815 00:44:12,640 --> 00:44:14,120 feel like somebody might need to hear this. 816 00:44:15,200 --> 00:44:19,400 Well, here's something that I want to talk about also based on 817 00:44:19,400 --> 00:44:22,800 that. I know Jenny Folk was doing a 818 00:44:22,800 --> 00:44:25,960 poll earlier this year. For those of you who don't know, 819 00:44:25,960 --> 00:44:29,680 Jenny Folk is the Race direction, whatever it's called, 820 00:44:29,880 --> 00:44:33,360 race operator, whatever for the OG Million Folk promotions. 821 00:44:33,960 --> 00:44:38,400 Anyways, she was talking about the fact that first round and 822 00:44:38,400 --> 00:44:41,640 buy background and stuff takes so long because they'll have 823 00:44:41,640 --> 00:44:45,200 6700 cars. You know they set a record a 824 00:44:45,200 --> 00:44:47,680 couple years ago when they went to Gateway, Set another one next 825 00:44:47,680 --> 00:44:52,120 year, set another one last year. Yep, and it's very possible 826 00:44:52,120 --> 00:44:53,320 they'll set. Another one this year. 827 00:44:53,960 --> 00:44:57,920 Well, she. Was talking about the fact that 828 00:44:58,200 --> 00:45:01,480 hey, first round might take 8 hours, which means buy back 829 00:45:01,480 --> 00:45:04,280 rounds going to take another 4 hours because everybody's going 830 00:45:04,280 --> 00:45:07,400 to buy back in the OG million you spent $2000 at you're going 831 00:45:07,400 --> 00:45:09,960 to spend 500. Keep trying. 832 00:45:10,400 --> 00:45:14,840 Well at the end of that, that's 12 hours minimum. 833 00:45:15,240 --> 00:45:21,200 So this race being this prestigious, doesn't need to be 834 00:45:21,200 --> 00:45:24,400 finished at 4:00 in the morning, even though you can at Gateway, 835 00:45:24,400 --> 00:45:25,680 because they don't have a curfew. 836 00:45:27,080 --> 00:45:31,160 It should be finished where it's not necessarily daylight, but it 837 00:45:31,160 --> 00:45:34,280 needs to be like 8:00 or 9:00 or something, where a celebration 838 00:45:34,280 --> 00:45:40,240 of the magnitude that that race commands should be happening 839 00:45:40,240 --> 00:45:42,240 like we should be. We should have a stand. 840 00:45:42,240 --> 00:45:45,440 Full of people celebrating with this person for winning the 841 00:45:45,440 --> 00:45:47,440 biggest race you can win in bracket racing. 842 00:45:47,720 --> 00:45:51,160 Casey I'll take 11 O clock, brother. 11 O clock would be 843 00:45:51,160 --> 00:45:56,120 fine, you know. But again, here for the past 844 00:45:56,120 --> 00:45:59,720 several years, I go to sleep with my TB under in the OG 845 00:45:59,720 --> 00:46:04,720 million and like clockwork, I generally wake up right at fun 846 00:46:04,720 --> 00:46:07,120 round. But it's about 3:30 in the 847 00:46:07,120 --> 00:46:07,960 morning I woke up. You know what? 848 00:46:08,000 --> 00:46:10,960 I mean, I want to say I woke up last year. 849 00:46:12,800 --> 00:46:15,040 I woke up last year at like 5:00 in the morning. 850 00:46:15,040 --> 00:46:17,680 Now I'm on the East Coast, so I'm ahead of everybody anyway. 851 00:46:18,000 --> 00:46:19,240 But I woke up at 5:00 in the morning. 852 00:46:19,240 --> 00:46:22,000 I want to say the final round finished like an hour before I 853 00:46:22,000 --> 00:46:24,840 woke up. And I'm like, man, that's just 854 00:46:26,360 --> 00:46:26,920 it. It should. 855 00:46:26,960 --> 00:46:29,600 It's not as. Cool as it could be, because 856 00:46:29,600 --> 00:46:31,920 everybody else has to race the net like they're going to start 857 00:46:31,920 --> 00:46:34,280 racing the next day like 8 or 9 in the morning, so they're not 858 00:46:34,280 --> 00:46:37,480 going to stay up. They don't like if I don't know 859 00:46:37,480 --> 00:46:39,840 you. I'm like, I'm not going to stay 860 00:46:39,840 --> 00:46:41,240 up and watch you win. That's cool. 861 00:46:41,240 --> 00:46:44,040 You won and I'm going to talk to you the next day, congratulate 862 00:46:44,040 --> 00:46:46,000 you and everything, but I'm going to stay up and watch you, 863 00:46:46,000 --> 00:46:47,440 man, because I got to race the next day. 864 00:46:47,440 --> 00:46:49,320 That's. Right, That's right, that's 865 00:46:49,320 --> 00:46:50,720 right. It is one of those things where 866 00:46:50,720 --> 00:46:55,680 I feel like there should be 1/8 mile alive from the eighth mile 867 00:46:55,680 --> 00:47:01,760 or 1/8 mile party for the final of the million and every, I mean 868 00:47:01,760 --> 00:47:06,360 every racer should be out there somewhere rooting for the two 869 00:47:06,360 --> 00:47:10,200 people left in the event. I'd like to see that across the 870 00:47:10,200 --> 00:47:11,600 board. Honestly, it doesn't matter to 871 00:47:11,600 --> 00:47:16,320 me how big the event is, more of a, you know, a, a crowd. 872 00:47:16,320 --> 00:47:18,480 Let the guy run past the guy who won it. 873 00:47:18,680 --> 00:47:22,320 Yeah, it just adds that much more to it to see that many of 874 00:47:22,320 --> 00:47:25,320 your comrades or, or racing buddies or whatever you want to 875 00:47:25,320 --> 00:47:28,280 call us out there cheering you on. 876 00:47:28,280 --> 00:47:31,520 So I think that'd be pretty neat, Casey, but just thought 877 00:47:31,520 --> 00:47:34,400 I'd throw that out there because I just feel like there has to be 878 00:47:34,400 --> 00:47:39,240 some type of a strategy behind what you're going to do at a big 879 00:47:39,240 --> 00:47:41,240 money event. If you've not been there before 880 00:47:41,240 --> 00:47:44,440 that says you won first round, you're not double entered. 881 00:47:44,440 --> 00:47:47,240 Even if you are, you won both entries of first round. 882 00:47:47,480 --> 00:47:49,080 You're not going in the buybacks. 883 00:47:49,840 --> 00:47:52,240 You're going to be sitting for a long time. 884 00:47:52,400 --> 00:47:55,120 OK, before you get into second round. 885 00:47:55,120 --> 00:47:57,960 Are you going to go to sleep? Are you going to turn the BBQ 886 00:47:57,960 --> 00:48:00,520 grill on early? You're going to hide all your 887 00:48:00,520 --> 00:48:02,920 beers from you for the day and just take them to somebody 888 00:48:02,920 --> 00:48:05,520 else's trailer and lock them up. Since you're still in that way, 889 00:48:05,520 --> 00:48:07,400 you don't get the urge to reach in the cooler. 890 00:48:07,520 --> 00:48:11,440 What are we doing? You know, maybe bring the Xbox 891 00:48:11,440 --> 00:48:14,720 if you still game and place, play some video games or 892 00:48:14,720 --> 00:48:17,640 something. I don't know, but it's something 893 00:48:17,640 --> 00:48:20,480 to think about if you're entering into those big races, 894 00:48:21,080 --> 00:48:23,200 because that's a long time. That's all I got please. 895 00:48:24,440 --> 00:48:27,880 Yeah, no, it will be interesting to see what they end up doing 896 00:48:27,880 --> 00:48:31,160 with that because the the prestige of that race needs to 897 00:48:31,160 --> 00:48:34,640 be something that's finished at a decent time just to be able to 898 00:48:35,280 --> 00:48:38,280 to get the viewership that it that it needs to have both on 899 00:48:38,280 --> 00:48:42,760 Motor Mania, on at the track, all that stuff. 900 00:48:42,760 --> 00:48:45,760 I mean, you're talking just just the simple fact of photography, 901 00:48:45,760 --> 00:48:48,080 things like that. That stuff can get out on 902 00:48:48,080 --> 00:48:50,840 Facebook and can spread across Facebook, and now all of a 903 00:48:50,840 --> 00:48:53,560 sudden it gets all this extra publicity that you didn't get 904 00:48:53,560 --> 00:48:55,080 it. For in the morning, you know, 905 00:48:55,080 --> 00:48:56,440 because there's going to be people. 906 00:48:57,640 --> 00:49:00,200 You know us. Included that they're going to 907 00:49:00,200 --> 00:49:04,200 be the first ones to post it and the million knows who won before 908 00:49:04,200 --> 00:49:07,600 anybody else, so they should be the ones to post it. 909 00:49:07,720 --> 00:49:10,280 So that they get all the publicity from it and everything 910 00:49:11,600 --> 00:49:13,360 and that just doesn't. Happen at 4:00 in the morning 911 00:49:13,360 --> 00:49:13,680 man. But. 912 00:49:13,680 --> 00:49:17,160 I think, I think Jenny's trying to change that this year. 913 00:49:17,160 --> 00:49:21,240 It'll be interesting to see what happens, but I'm always excited 914 00:49:21,240 --> 00:49:24,080 to watch the OG Million Man and and it would make it a. 915 00:49:24,080 --> 00:49:27,960 Better viewing experience for people who are watching from not 916 00:49:27,960 --> 00:49:29,960 at the track. It'll be a better experience for 917 00:49:29,960 --> 00:49:32,360 people at the track. It'll be if you're a guy that 918 00:49:32,360 --> 00:49:35,200 wins first round. Here's the other thing. 919 00:49:36,800 --> 00:49:40,720 If you win first round and let's just say you're doubled, even 920 00:49:40,920 --> 00:49:45,400 win both first rounds and let's say somebody loses an entry and 921 00:49:45,400 --> 00:49:47,760 wins an entry or whatever, and then they go in the buy 922 00:49:47,760 --> 00:49:50,840 background and they've just went down the track four hours ago 923 00:49:50,840 --> 00:49:53,080 and you haven't been down the track for 12 hours, do they not 924 00:49:53,080 --> 00:49:54,880 have an advantage over you? Of course they do. 925 00:49:54,880 --> 00:49:56,120 Well. Of course you know well. 926 00:49:56,160 --> 00:49:57,600 Of course, the weather's changed. 927 00:49:57,600 --> 00:49:59,760 You better have crew chief pro. That's all I got for you. 928 00:49:59,760 --> 00:50:02,120 You know, you, you made a run earlier in the day. 929 00:50:02,440 --> 00:50:05,040 If you enter that run into your crew chief pro, you're going to 930 00:50:05,040 --> 00:50:06,840 be good at dialing. That's all I got to tell you, 931 00:50:06,840 --> 00:50:10,320 especially as you get more versed with that particular 932 00:50:10,320 --> 00:50:13,040 program. But definitely an advantage, 933 00:50:13,040 --> 00:50:14,480 Casey. And I don't think it's just an 934 00:50:14,480 --> 00:50:16,080 advantage of how well the car is going to run. 935 00:50:16,080 --> 00:50:19,160 It's more so you had an extra hit at the Christmas tree. 936 00:50:19,320 --> 00:50:21,280 So there's that, you know what I mean? 937 00:50:21,400 --> 00:50:24,320 And when we practice with these eliminators and these practice 938 00:50:24,320 --> 00:50:28,400 trees, most of the time we cut lights 1 after another, You know 939 00:50:28,400 --> 00:50:30,400 what I mean? Sometimes I go into race mode 940 00:50:30,400 --> 00:50:33,440 when I practice and I'll cut a light in the morning and I'll 941 00:50:33,440 --> 00:50:36,520 wait until 5 O clock after I get off of work, cut another light, 942 00:50:36,680 --> 00:50:38,480 see how close it is, You know what I mean? 943 00:50:39,720 --> 00:50:45,560 But again, that's just me trying to prep myself or, or prepare 944 00:50:45,560 --> 00:50:48,200 for what could potentially happen at a big money race. 945 00:50:48,200 --> 00:50:52,480 And, and I don't know, Casey, I just think there's, I think that 946 00:50:52,480 --> 00:50:56,200 the, the, the, the, the time run is the main thing. 947 00:50:56,200 --> 00:50:58,720 I feel like they might be looking at getting rid of for 948 00:50:58,720 --> 00:51:01,800 the million. And I honestly think nobody will 949 00:51:01,800 --> 00:51:04,360 be upset about that. I don't think so at all. 950 00:51:04,400 --> 00:51:06,680 Get that time, run out of there and I think we'll be done by 9 951 00:51:06,680 --> 00:51:10,200 to 10 in the first place. Yeah, 'cause I mean, anybody 952 00:51:10,200 --> 00:51:12,560 who's going there to run the million, there's like few and 953 00:51:12,560 --> 00:51:14,600 far between. I know Donnie Hagar came just to 954 00:51:14,600 --> 00:51:16,360 run the million that year that he wanted. 955 00:51:16,680 --> 00:51:17,960 That is so. Few and far. 956 00:51:17,960 --> 00:51:21,040 Between and I think obviously if there was no opportunity to have 957 00:51:21,040 --> 00:51:23,360 a time run, he would have entered the race the day before 958 00:51:23,360 --> 00:51:25,480 that got his time run or whatever and race. 959 00:51:26,000 --> 00:51:29,080 But at the end of the day, you don't come to yo G million with 960 00:51:29,080 --> 00:51:31,680 a brand new setup. And if you do, it's because 961 00:51:31,680 --> 00:51:34,560 you're that type of guy and you're going to dial it. 962 00:51:34,560 --> 00:51:37,320 What it's what you think you can run anyway, and you're going to 963 00:51:37,320 --> 00:51:42,440 know you can at least get there. I just that puts everything so 964 00:51:42,440 --> 00:51:45,080 far behind because you're you're running first round twice. 965 00:51:45,080 --> 00:51:47,640 And here's something also about time runs. 966 00:51:48,200 --> 00:51:52,600 And this really gets on me about because this happens at a lot of 967 00:51:52,600 --> 00:51:55,760 tracks out here. When you're double entered, one 968 00:51:55,760 --> 00:51:58,120 time run should be one time run like it. 969 00:51:58,600 --> 00:52:01,000 Just because you're doubled, you shouldn't just get two time 970 00:52:01,000 --> 00:52:02,400 runs. That's just making it twice as 971 00:52:02,400 --> 00:52:04,640 slow. That makes no sense because you 972 00:52:04,640 --> 00:52:07,240 already have an advantage by being entered in first round 973 00:52:07,240 --> 00:52:09,240 twice. Because if you have zero time 974 00:52:09,240 --> 00:52:12,560 runs, then you get to go down the track, figure out what you 975 00:52:12,720 --> 00:52:14,320 you know what you're going to run because you just went down 976 00:52:14,320 --> 00:52:15,400 the track. You're going to go up for your 977 00:52:15,400 --> 00:52:16,880 second entry knowing what you're going to run. 978 00:52:17,480 --> 00:52:20,280 And it's not like it's a qualified field to where you got 979 00:52:20,280 --> 00:52:23,640 to go right lane, the left lane. And and it's not like they're 980 00:52:23,640 --> 00:52:26,200 drawing chips at the beginning of the lane at these big money 981 00:52:26,200 --> 00:52:28,640 races where you got to know what the car is going to run from the 982 00:52:28,640 --> 00:52:32,160 right lane to the left lane. It's more so, you know, by 983 00:52:32,160 --> 00:52:35,080 happenstance you actually get thrown in the opposite lane. 984 00:52:35,080 --> 00:52:38,520 Well, you might be a little bit more in the dark, but that's few 985 00:52:38,520 --> 00:52:40,680 and far between. So I'm with you on that, Casey. 986 00:52:40,960 --> 00:52:42,960 Well. Yeah, I mean, at the end of the 987 00:52:42,960 --> 00:52:45,480 day when you get a time run, everybody's just get a time run 988 00:52:45,480 --> 00:52:48,360 and that's it. And they're like, we don't need 989 00:52:48,360 --> 00:52:52,440 to have guys going down the track twice with, you know, my 990 00:52:52,440 --> 00:52:57,400 numbers 3352, you don't need 3352X going down again. 991 00:52:57,600 --> 00:53:00,000 Like that's that doesn't make any sense. 992 00:53:00,600 --> 00:53:03,280 No. And, and at the end of the day, 993 00:53:03,280 --> 00:53:05,880 it's kind of funny too, because you see a lot of those guys that 994 00:53:05,880 --> 00:53:08,640 are the I just wish we'd get rid of time runs. 995 00:53:08,840 --> 00:53:10,600 Why are you taking two? Because. 996 00:53:10,840 --> 00:53:13,000 You're taking us twice as slow. Don't take anything. 997 00:53:13,280 --> 00:53:15,320 Talk about some open mic night for you right there. 998 00:53:15,320 --> 00:53:17,640 Yeah, yeah. But I mean, the fact of the 999 00:53:17,640 --> 00:53:21,720 matter is at the end of the day, if you're double entered one 1000 00:53:21,720 --> 00:53:24,160 time run, that's everybody gets one time run. 1001 00:53:24,160 --> 00:53:28,000 There's no reason to have two time runs if you're it because 1002 00:53:28,000 --> 00:53:30,720 you're double entered. That's, I don't know, I've just 1003 00:53:30,720 --> 00:53:33,680 never liked that. Tom-tom Worthington says make 1004 00:53:33,680 --> 00:53:35,880 buybacks 3000. That way you don't have as many. 1005 00:53:36,240 --> 00:53:39,000 It's like, Dang Tom, you must not like buybacks at all, buddy. 1006 00:53:39,080 --> 00:53:42,800 He does not. He Hey, I'll say this man Tom 1007 00:53:42,800 --> 00:53:45,280 talks a lot of a lot of crap on buybacks. 1008 00:53:45,680 --> 00:53:48,240 And he'll stand on it. He will not buy back, no matter 1009 00:53:48,240 --> 00:53:50,120 how cheap. You can, you can, you can say 1010 00:53:50,120 --> 00:53:51,480 I'll do it for you. He won't do it. 1011 00:53:51,640 --> 00:53:54,480 He doesn't believe in them. And that's, that's pretty cool, 1012 00:53:54,520 --> 00:53:56,360 really. Yeah, RJ over here. 1013 00:53:56,560 --> 00:53:58,600 RJ Reed. Hey, never seen you on the show. 1014 00:53:58,600 --> 00:54:00,520 Thanks for joining in, man. He agrees with you. 1015 00:54:00,520 --> 00:54:02,720 Casey. One time run for double entered 1016 00:54:02,720 --> 00:54:06,520 cars is is plenty. And Nancy Conn here is saying 1017 00:54:06,520 --> 00:54:08,640 she takes naps on these long days. 1018 00:54:09,040 --> 00:54:11,880 I do that too, Nancy. I try to get myself up a few 1019 00:54:11,880 --> 00:54:15,320 hours before the run. Maybe I can dust, you know, the 1020 00:54:15,320 --> 00:54:17,960 sleep out of my eyes and and things of that nature. 1021 00:54:17,960 --> 00:54:22,200 But if I can get a nap or stay off of my feet, that would be 1022 00:54:22,200 --> 00:54:24,640 great. If the race is over, I think 1023 00:54:24,640 --> 00:54:27,960 I'll coin a phrase from my dad. Maybe I'll bring my golf clubs 1024 00:54:27,960 --> 00:54:30,440 if we're done for the day and just a gateway. 1025 00:54:30,440 --> 00:54:33,240 You can just go a couple minutes and you're at A at a golf 1026 00:54:33,240 --> 00:54:35,400 course. Well, maybe if I'm done for the 1027 00:54:35,400 --> 00:54:37,280 day, I just take my golf clubs, go golfing, You know what I 1028 00:54:37,280 --> 00:54:39,640 mean? Just disconnect completely, you 1029 00:54:39,640 --> 00:54:41,400 know, give my mind a a quick break. 1030 00:54:41,760 --> 00:54:43,000 So yeah. If there's a lot of. 1031 00:54:43,080 --> 00:54:45,560 You're not going to do that. All you got to do is go over the 1032 00:54:45,560 --> 00:54:48,360 bridge and there's anything you could ever want to do right over 1033 00:54:48,360 --> 00:54:50,760 the bridge. I mean, there's restaurants, 1034 00:54:50,760 --> 00:54:53,680 bars. You go watch a Cardinals game. 1035 00:54:53,680 --> 00:54:54,960 Yeah. Go watch a Cardinals. 1036 00:54:54,960 --> 00:54:59,720 Game go down, go to Sulard, go to, I mean there's Gateway 1037 00:54:59,720 --> 00:55:02,200 classic cars over there. You go look at tons. 1038 00:55:02,480 --> 00:55:06,280 They have a massive place out there where they like they sell 1039 00:55:06,280 --> 00:55:08,880 Hemi super birds and stuff out there and you just walk through 1040 00:55:08,880 --> 00:55:11,120 it like a showroom. Yeah, I got. 1041 00:55:11,120 --> 00:55:12,240 Man, what else? Thurman Warren. 1042 00:55:12,280 --> 00:55:15,360 Casinos. Thurman Warren, please mention 1043 00:55:15,360 --> 00:55:21,160 Rodger Rhodes Memorial Racing Kingston and the street to strip 1044 00:55:21,200 --> 00:55:23,720 in Elk Creek Dragway. Well, there's your mention right 1045 00:55:23,720 --> 00:55:24,920 there. Thanks for bringing it to us, 1046 00:55:24,920 --> 00:55:28,080 Thurman, and special shout out everybody heading over to that 1047 00:55:28,080 --> 00:55:30,800 Rodger Rhodes race it. It looked like it'd be a fun 1048 00:55:30,800 --> 00:55:32,960 race to actually get into Casey. I know you've probably been to 1049 00:55:32,960 --> 00:55:36,120 it once or twice. Oh yeah, I've been there a lot. 1050 00:55:36,120 --> 00:55:38,680 In fact, last time I was there I was, it was, I was still 1051 00:55:38,680 --> 00:55:42,120 doubled, I think fourth or fifth round, but I was still doubled 1052 00:55:42,560 --> 00:55:46,120 and ended up going up there. And that time of the year the 1053 00:55:46,120 --> 00:55:48,800 sun was going down.
