Something screwed up with the 13 00:02:57,440 --> 00:03:00,160 sound.

Casey, bring you behind, man. 90 00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:04,240 If you need a car you can just take mine if my dad doesn't do 91 00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:06,560 it. Hey, mine's about us taking 92 00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:09,360 apart as it is right now as as it could be. 93 00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:12,920 I guess I should say it's, it's pretty ridiculous. 94 00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:15,240 I got the motor out of mine, got the transmission out of mine, 95 00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:17,120 even got the rear end out of mine. 96 00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:21,320 So you can't really get much more than that as far as taking 97 00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:23,440 apart goes. It's got a body on it still. 98 00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:27,080 Chassis's obviously there. I think it has a left. 99 00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:29,960 It has the left front wheel and tire on it right now. 100 00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:33,120 That's all that's in mind. Hey, you took that thing apart. 101 00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:34,440 I didn't think you were going that deep. 102 00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:36,000 You just got started and didn't stop. 103 00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:39,920 That's what it sounds like. Man, it got to the point where I 104 00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:43,240 just I was like man, I just want to make all my stuff bulletproof 105 00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:45,680 for next year. Tired of beating around on 106 00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:47,240 stuff. I'm going to put a 10 inch rear 107 00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:50,120 end gear in it. Pro mod stuff, anytime that I'm 108 00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:53,480 that I think that there's a weak point, I'm just going to start 109 00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:58,480 putting pro mod stuff in it and be done with it because I just, 110 00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:00,360 I want to go race whenever I'm racing. 111 00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:02,840 I don't want to have to work on stuff. 112 00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:07,160 I don't get to race as much as I would like to anymore, but you 113 00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:10,880 know how it is, wife, kids, businesses work. 114 00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:14,600 All that stuff is just there's, there's a lot going on around 115 00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:18,880 here and I just whenever I do go racing, I want to go racing. 116 00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:22,360 I don't want to have to, you know, I'll obviously you got it 117 00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:24,520 with what I have. You got to tune on stuff that's 118 00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:26,480 expected. It's not all going to work, but 119 00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:30,120 I don't want to do big work. If I'm going to do big work, I'm 120 00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:32,440 going to do it at my house. Right, right. 121 00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:34,919 And especially not at the track. I guess I understand what you 122 00:08:34,919 --> 00:08:37,200 mean. You know, having a wrench at the 123 00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:39,600 tracks, not always the the best there so. 124 00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:42,600 Yeah, and I mean, at the end of the day, you know, I don't have 125 00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:43,640 anybody to help me. Me. 126 00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:46,760 It's me and my wife. You know, my boy's not old 127 00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:49,960 enough to be able to help me do anything meaningful right now. 128 00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:52,320 He helps the best he can, but most of the time he's in the 129 00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:53,520 way. He's just that age. 130 00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:56,360 But at the end of the. Yeah, At the end of the day, I 131 00:08:56,360 --> 00:09:00,640 mean, maybe whenever he gets about about 10 years older, 132 00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:03,520 probably, then we can really make some stuff happen, you 133 00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:05,880 know? But it's all building towards 134 00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:07,560 the future. And it's one of those things, 135 00:09:07,560 --> 00:09:10,240 it's kind of been a dream of mine to really do the top 136 00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:12,200 sportsman thing, and one day we're going to do it. 137 00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:14,880 And if it takes time to make that happen, that's what it 138 00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:16,960 takes. Yep, and so be it too. 139 00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:20,000 You know, I I was, however, wishing because part of what 140 00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:22,600 we'll talk about today and you've already alluded to with 141 00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:29,240 the the good old crew chief pro plug is El Nino El L go fast 142 00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:31,880 though, whatever you want to call him, because it's going to 143 00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:36,720 be a lot of PBS set personal best will be set from now until 144 00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:39,160 everybody hangs it up for the rest of the year. 145 00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:43,800 So I was hoping you get to pull a RIP off with your combination 146 00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:46,720 and and see how fast you can go. I'm thinking that thing's got 147 00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:50,200 teens all in it. So it's going to be some nice 148 00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:52,880 weather here with a little bit cooler of a winter coming, I 149 00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:55,520 think. It'll take a lot I mean 150 00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:59,240 basically this this year in the offseason I'm planning on I'm 151 00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:06,520 taking my 555 block to get it O ranked and the short story is 152 00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:11,560 everything in that'll be able to to take a bigger blower when the 153 00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:16,920 if if I can acquire one. That was I saw that actually in 154 00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:18,720 the comments over the comments section. 155 00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:21,440 Somebody asked when I was going to get a man blower for it or 156 00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:24,480 something like that. Look, man, I'm I'm trying to get 157 00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:26,400 one. I just need some money, honey. 158 00:10:26,560 --> 00:10:28,880 Hey, if you want to come on board and donate some money to 159 00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:31,400 go on rec racing YouTube channel, I'll I promise you I'll 160 00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:33,720 get one. But that blower is the 161 00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:37,440 difference between that motor being able to go about in the 162 00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:42,480 best weather, it'll go a high 20 to being able to go O's in the 163 00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:44,920 worst weather and probably go three 90s. 164 00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:50,320 So I've, I've talked a lot to, I've been talking back and forth 165 00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:54,040 with Ron Whitlock a lot, which has a, he has a very similar and 166 00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:57,680 his, his brother has a very similar combination to mine. 167 00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:01,960 And I mean, to be honest with you, it's, it's all the size of 168 00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:04,480 the blower. As as soon as I can get my hands 169 00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:09,360 on a 121 blower, I mean, that's basically all it's going to 170 00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:12,080 take. Everything else at the end of 171 00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:16,080 this, at the end of this winter going in next year, the motor 172 00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:18,840 I'm building, as long as everything works out, should be 173 00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:20,880 capable. Everything in the car ought to 174 00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:23,400 be capable of going 390's. It's just a matter of getting my 175 00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:27,560 hands on a big blower that you got to get more air in the 176 00:11:27,560 --> 00:11:29,200 motor. That's the only way. 177 00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:31,040 Yeah, got got to do what you got to do, man. 178 00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:34,640 You know And smart though, foolproofing your chassis or 179 00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:37,400 your whole setup, you know if you see it changed out the way 180 00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:40,600 you want it, a lot of guys are probably moving their minds into 181 00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:45,640 what what you're encountering right now with their own racing 182 00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:47,480 operations. Leave some comments in the chat 183 00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:50,280 what you guys plan on doing this offseason. 184 00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:53,000 It's going to be one of these types of streams where we talk 185 00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:58,320 about the unfortunate in to drag racing season that is 186 00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:01,560 unfortunately up on the most of the majority. 187 00:12:01,560 --> 00:12:04,360 I would say the majority of us. I think out here in Dallas, Fort 188 00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:06,600 Worth, I know the Cal pastors got moved. 189 00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:09,640 It rained like crazy last week. So we didn't get a chance to run 190 00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:11,480 Cal pastor. And I think it's going to be 191 00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:14,760 first or second week of November 1st, if I'm not wrong. 192 00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:17,080 So we'll be in the November doing some drag race and I think 193 00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:18,800 Wichita Falls has something going on too. 194 00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:22,080 So out here in Texas we got a little bit more going on. 195 00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:24,720 What do you guys got going on in your areas? 196 00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:27,440 Leave comments in the chats. We'll be we'll read through them 197 00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:31,840 and and shout you out, you know. But Casey, I don't think we 198 00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:38,080 would be doing our home track as children any justice without 199 00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:42,560 going back a couple of weeks and talking about the OG million. 200 00:12:42,560 --> 00:12:48,240 We we kind of have to hit what we missed by way of needing to 201 00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:51,280 take a little bit more time before we came on with this live 202 00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:53,840 episode. Casey, where do you want to go 203 00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:58,240 first with that OG million? Kind of the conclusion to me, or 204 00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:02,760 at least the climax of the entire season where you want to 205 00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:06,200 start, man. Well, I, I think what we need to 206 00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:10,480 start with, to begin with is the fact that in the smaller races 207 00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:14,360 there was over 700 entries whenever diesel was $7.00 a 208 00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:17,040 gallon. That ain't I mean, that's that's 209 00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:20,960 wild to me man, because you and I, you know, obviously we look 210 00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:23,920 forward every single year ever since we started going bracket 211 00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:26,760 race and we've always heavily covered the OG million always 212 00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:29,200 it's our favorite race. It always has been ever since we 213 00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:31,000 were little kids. It's always been our favorite 214 00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:32,720 race. It's a bucket list race for both 215 00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:38,120 of us and the fact of the matter is is that there were 700 216 00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:43,720 entries at the OG million. The oh man, side note here. 217 00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:48,720 Well, we'll talk about that in a second, but what was the total 218 00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:52,280 entry count for the main event race 500 and something? 219 00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:56,040 4. 100 high 4 hundreds I. Feel like it was high 4 220 00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:57,680 hundreds. I feel like it was high 4 221 00:13:57,680 --> 00:14:00,000 hundreds man and I don't. Want to call it 600 and 222 00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:02,520 something to win? Yeah, it was high 4 hundreds for 223 00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:05,240 sure, I think. I don't think it crept over 500 224 00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:06,040 though. I don't believe so. 225 00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:10,200 Yeah, absolutely. Let's see. 226 00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:12,160 Let's get, let's get somebody tell us in the chat. 227 00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:15,200 I know Austin Bay or Brandon Justice, somebody over there. 228 00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:21,680 I don't want to say we got into the 760 range on the smaller 229 00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:24,880 races. I believe I know 728 is about 230 00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:30,800 right as of like Wednesday but. Brandon Justice is saying 475 231 00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:32,800 entries in the main event. Sounds about right. 232 00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:35,480 I was fixing to say we were right there close to 500, but 233 00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:39,040 don't think we quite got there as people are starting to join 234 00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:40,080 in. Thank you for joining. 235 00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:41,520 Make sure you hit that like share. 236 00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:45,000 We're just recapping a couple weeks back real quick and 237 00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:47,440 talking about the OG million. You haven't missed anything as 238 00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:50,360 we just got going. But Casey, man, you hit the nail 239 00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:54,080 on the head. As we we warmed it up the week 240 00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:58,800 before, we talked about wood. Wood gas prices impact the OG 241 00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:01,720 million at. This, but it didn't. 242 00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:06,320 At this point, Casey, I'm, I'm, I'm, I don't want to jinx 243 00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:09,000 anything that they got going on with the OG million. 244 00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:13,920 I don't want, barring a track change, let's put it at that, 245 00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:20,320 we're always going to have 700 entries in the smaller races of 246 00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:22,360 the OG million. That's period. 247 00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:24,440 I don't. I don't know what could impact 248 00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:26,720 it besides good old Mother Nature itself. 249 00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:31,200 Yeah, because ultimately the track change is what allowed it 250 00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:34,080 to be what it is. It's never been bigger than it 251 00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:37,600 is since it went to Gateway. And 700 entries is not a lot of 252 00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:40,200 cars at Gateway. Gateway is massive. 253 00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:43,160 Like right now they're having, I want to say right now they're 254 00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:45,200 having a double divisional. I mean they just got done with 255 00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:48,760 the national event last week where Chip King set the pro mod 256 00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:52,680 record went 559 and NHRA pro mod trim. 257 00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:58,520 I mean, it's like Gateway is the place to be that time of year 258 00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:02,640 because it is almost all it can go either way that time in the 259 00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:05,160 Midwest. But a lot of times, 75% of the 260 00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:08,840 time is always perfect weather. It's always fast. 261 00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:12,960 The best part about Gateway is you don't have to worry about 262 00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:17,560 parking in dirt because there isn't any #1 every single 263 00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:19,920 person, no matter who you are. I don't care if you show up with 264 00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:24,240 an open bed trailer and a tent like at the end of the day, 265 00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:25,920 you're still going to park on asphalt. 266 00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:30,600 There are no bad parking spots at Gateway and you can go as 267 00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:33,720 fast as you want there and use no parachutes. 268 00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:37,320 Yeah. Yeah, yeah, well, unless you win 269 00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:38,120 it. Corey Glitty. 270 00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:40,440 Good job popping the parachute, by the way. 271 00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:42,040 That was one of my thoughts, too, as a man. 272 00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:43,760 If I won that thing, I'll pull the shoots. 273 00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:46,720 Next thing you know, Corey's got his shoots out going through the 274 00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:49,320 finish line. Hats off to Corey if you guys 275 00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:50,320 didn't. Know old Glitty? 276 00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:53,560 Glitty won it one of but not the fastest. 277 00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:56,720 Somebody was doubt 390 in a bracket car and it ran 390 278 00:16:56,720 --> 00:17:00,040 almost every RIP. And was doubled 4th round. 279 00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:02,720 So all those people that want to say those fast cars are 280 00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:04,800 inconsistent, it's just a matter of who has them. 281 00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:06,160 Correct. Correct. 282 00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:11,400 Yeah, man. The thing went 389 to 390 every 283 00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:13,960 single run. Absolutely, absolutely. 284 00:17:14,079 --> 00:17:16,280 Yeah. But, but as we continue guys, 285 00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:19,839 and, and maybe I'll see a lot of you there because it's going on 286 00:17:19,839 --> 00:17:22,720 my bucket list. It's going on my schedule for 287 00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:26,520 next year with hopefully a stop by mid state first. 288 00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:30,200 I got to get out there to my boys over at mid state to warm 289 00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:33,720 it up for that and, you know, get a chance to go down that 290 00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:35,440 track. I've never been down mid state's 291 00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:38,520 track. Now my buddy's on it and and 292 00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:41,720 they are always trying to get me there. 293 00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:43,120 Well, next year I'm going to be coming out. 294 00:17:43,120 --> 00:17:46,240 I'm going to do everything. If I have to drive up early and 295 00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:48,960 drop my rig off and fly back to Texas, I'm coming up. 296 00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:52,800 What's cool about mid states deal as they make it to where 297 00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:57,360 that that mid state could also be benefiting the million also, 298 00:17:57,360 --> 00:18:00,920 especially whenever it's $7.00 a gallon again, because you can 299 00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:03,480 drive to mid state and just drive a little bit further 300 00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:05,280 South. Hit the million so you can get a 301 00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:08,120 2 for one in two weeks. You take two weeks off work, 302 00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:12,240 race the entire two weeks, more than you would probably race in 303 00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:15,120 an entire season if you were local racing in those two weeks 304 00:18:15,120 --> 00:18:17,640 long. The weather is right and yes it 305 00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:20,360 cost 7 bucks a gallon but when you can hit them two for one 306 00:18:20,360 --> 00:18:23,160 it's really not that bad. It's true, man. 307 00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:25,320 It's true it. Is bad, but it's not as bad. 308 00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:27,920 But it's, it's still true, you know what I mean? 309 00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:32,920 And, and, and basically speaking, no reason not to stop 310 00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:36,360 at mid state first. Anybody who's anybody, if you're 311 00:18:36,360 --> 00:18:38,800 going past Saint Louis, just keep going. 312 00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:41,040 Don't worry about it. You're going to have a good time 313 00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:42,720 at mid state. So it is what it is. 314 00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:46,920 But I want to stage it up, pull out a couple cameras and put it 315 00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:49,920 on on YouTube and and do a little live stream or something 316 00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:52,880 there too. And then and then stage it up 317 00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:56,520 for for the OG man, pretty sure I would only be able to run the 318 00:18:56,520 --> 00:19:00,840 smaller races at this point. My budget, the way my bank 319 00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:03,240 account is set up, I'm going to be saving every coin to get 320 00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:07,920 there in the 1st place. But one thing we got to talk 321 00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:10,600 about Casey is, is the game plan. 322 00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:16,280 And if you are planning to go to the OG million at Gateway, you 323 00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:20,520 must travel knowing that you might have to double. 324 00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:25,720 There will not be buybacks. Is this true KC? 325 00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:30,520 Do you agree with me? Where you at with that thought? 326 00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:34,720 As far as the no buybacks? Yeah. 327 00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:40,840 So yeah, man, it's kind of like what we were talking about on 328 00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:46,520 episode 248 is just the simple fact that buybacks, whenever 329 00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:51,000 you're having 700 entries, man, it's it's something that just 330 00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:53,600 needs to go to the wayside. It needs to be a thing of the 331 00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:57,680 past. We're to the point I'm trying to 332 00:19:57,680 --> 00:20:01,240 load this because I got some big information from one of our 333 00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:05,360 buddies here that we can talk about here in a second. 334 00:20:05,360 --> 00:20:09,440 But anyway, as far as buybacks are concerned. 335 00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:12,800 Whenever you have double entry, like we're getting to the point 336 00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:16,400 where there's so many entries in every single big money event and 337 00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:22,600 there have been for consistently for the last, I would say three 338 00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:24,480 years at least. Something like that. 339 00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:27,320 Spring Fling really started it with their Bristol deal when 340 00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:30,480 they started saying no buybacks because they got 600 entries or 341 00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:33,480 something like that. We can't finish races with 342 00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:36,960 buybacks anymore, so there either has to be no more double 343 00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:40,000 entries, which I don't really like that idea because I like 344 00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:42,000 the double entry idea for promoters. 345 00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:46,640 Or they need to adopt the theory that I've beat like a dead horse 346 00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:51,440 on this show for years. Literally years now, 5-6 years. 347 00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:56,640 However long we've been doing this now, which is if my thought 348 00:20:57,320 --> 00:21:00,760 going into 2027, I would love to see a promoter attempt this 349 00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:02,760 rather than totally getting rid of the buybacks. 350 00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:06,080 See how it works out. If you say you have the 351 00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:10,240 opportunity to double enter an event and then you have no 352 00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:13,680 buybacks. If you're a single entry, you 353 00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:16,920 have the opportunity to buy back, meaning you could win 354 00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:19,680 first round and obviously not have to buy back and whatever, 355 00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:24,080 but you guarantee that you as a single entry, you guarantee you 356 00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:27,920 will in fact be in second round. Those double entry guys, they're 357 00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:30,440 saying I'm good enough, I'm going to try to get 2 into the 358 00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:33,480 next round and have an advantage at that point. 359 00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:36,280 And I would like to really see how that plays out. 360 00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:39,240 And I don't think anybody has tried that yet. 361 00:21:39,240 --> 00:21:43,120 Of all the ideas we've had on GBR over the years that have 362 00:21:43,120 --> 00:21:46,480 eventually been adopted by some of these big money promoters, no 363 00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:50,320 one has ever adopted that idea. And I really think that idea 364 00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:55,000 would be an interesting that would just be an interesting 365 00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:58,080 thing to see as well as speed up the program. 366 00:21:58,280 --> 00:22:01,760 It would be interesting to me because all these guys that are 367 00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:04,800 your typical big money guys, like for example, Corey 368 00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:06,280 Gilletti, he's going to double enter. 369 00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:09,200 Corey Gilletti is good enough to get them both in the second 370 00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:12,000 round. You know, on odds basis. 371 00:22:12,360 --> 00:22:15,000 Donovan Williams same way, Jeff, Sarah, same way. 372 00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:19,160 We could go on and on your main guys gauge Birch bad guys. 373 00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:23,000 But the fact of the matter is there are going to be times that 374 00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:25,720 those guys get it put on them first round and they're not 375 00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:27,200 going to be in the second round at all. 376 00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:29,320 And there's no option for them to get to second round. 377 00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:32,680 And that'd just be interesting to see how it shakes things up. 378 00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:34,920 You know, I like it. I like it. 379 00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:39,280 One thing I know that I didn't, I didn't quite understand this 380 00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:41,360 until this particular OG million. 381 00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:46,560 We had a new car first time it had been out racing at the OG 382 00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:51,480 million, right? And his first pass, he went down 383 00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:53,800 the track in the car, didn't do what we wanted it to do. 384 00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:55,240 Go figure. It's the first time out, right? 385 00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:58,480 They just put a motor in it, transmission converter, 386 00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:00,280 everything and went straight to the OG million. 387 00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:03,400 Well, he went to double enter, but he wouldn't have got a 388 00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:06,880 secondary time run. That, Casey, is a good rule. 389 00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:10,480 I do like no, you don't get two time runs just because you're 390 00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:13,840 doubled. And I hope that flows across the 391 00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:16,120 board in big money bracket racing. 392 00:23:16,120 --> 00:23:21,520 So I stumbled up on that. Just this the past OG million. 393 00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:28,000 Yep, I agree man, it's it's interesting. 394 00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:30,360 I just want to bring this up because of my phone's getting 395 00:23:30,360 --> 00:23:33,800 blown up right now. It was the chat. 396 00:23:33,800 --> 00:23:35,720 Starting to blow up too. I wonder what your comments 397 00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:36,600 going to be. Go ahead. 398 00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:40,160 Well my my comment is drag illustrated. 399 00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:45,560 Just posted 15 minutes ago that Transcend Auction Services is 400 00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:50,400 taking field bids on a group of eye train tracks including 401 00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:56,360 Mylan, National Trail, Galat, Killcare, Dragway 42, Heartland, 402 00:23:56,920 --> 00:24:02,800 Empire, and VMP. Bids on Mylan are due November 403 00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:06,240 17th. So that is an interesting 404 00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:12,760 breaking news moment here on GBR #1 because of those tracks 405 00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:16,800 mentioned, I thought some of them were owner financed. 406 00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:20,720 In fact, if you look on the GIS survey, I haven't looked for a 407 00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:24,440 while, but that's where you can find all the public information 408 00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:26,880 of who owns what basically for addresses. 409 00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:30,360 And it said like Franklin Holdings or Franklin Motorsports 410 00:24:30,360 --> 00:24:33,560 still own VNP. So I really don't understand how 411 00:24:33,560 --> 00:24:36,560 that could go up for auction unless Tommy's allowing it to go 412 00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:40,000 up for auction. But it is interesting 413 00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:42,680 nevertheless because what did that say? 414 00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:46,160 It my phone shut off here but it said like that was like 14 415 00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:48,800 tracks or something like. That Yep, Yep. 416 00:24:49,120 --> 00:24:54,760 But but yeah, so I mean, that's why my phone's been blowing up. 417 00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:57,400 So sorry for for those of you out there that are like, man, 418 00:24:57,400 --> 00:24:59,240 Casey's not paying attention while I can't be paying 419 00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:00,560 attention. My phone keeps lighting up. 420 00:25:00,640 --> 00:25:02,280 And that's what's happening to the chat too. 421 00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:04,920 So I'm looking on this side over here and the chats actually 422 00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:08,400 mentioning the exact same thing. Casey, have we heard anything 423 00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:11,360 about this auction? And once you started looking 424 00:25:11,360 --> 00:25:13,800 down at your phone, I knew you were getting a little bit of 425 00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:15,680 deets on what was happening there. 426 00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:18,400 My phone's vibrating too. I just hadn't looked at it. 427 00:25:19,120 --> 00:25:22,280 So Thurman Warren and a couple of you other guys who were 428 00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:24,920 asking, I know Greg Gephardt's chimed in. 429 00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:27,280 He said he would have put some bids on some of the equipment, 430 00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:30,240 but the equipment's already been auctioned off as far as he's 431 00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:33,920 already known. So here's the hoping guys. 432 00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:37,200 And this is me trying to be positive as I always so I always 433 00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:39,880 try my best to do. Here's the hoping that the 434 00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:43,560 person who sold the track gets to make a bid and buy the track 435 00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:47,000 back way less than what they sold it for in the 1st place. 436 00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:48,760 Here's the hoping that that happens. 437 00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:52,760 Yeah, that's possible because some of these tracks are not in 438 00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:56,840 areas that would like be lucrative for a business. 439 00:25:56,880 --> 00:25:59,160 They would be better off just buying different property. 440 00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:01,760 Like for example, Gallat. Everybody worries about Gallat 441 00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:03,480 all the time. And I'm like, man, that place is 442 00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:06,360 on a well, there are places close to the Interstate from 443 00:26:06,360 --> 00:26:08,120 there. That's only A2 lane highway that 444 00:26:08,120 --> 00:26:11,200 goes there. I mean, it's it's there are so 445 00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:15,800 many places in Benson and Dunn that are a better option that 446 00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:18,400 you wouldn't need to bulldoze a brand new track for. 447 00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:23,320 Like, it's just, it doesn't seem like it would be worth doing 448 00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:27,080 whenever there is so much land leading up to there that is 449 00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:32,320 already attached to, you know, the world, I guess, so to speak. 450 00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:34,600 Yeah, It just doesn't make sense. 451 00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:36,440 So. I'm really hopeful that this 452 00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:41,320 turns into a even if we have to somehow, somehow I wish we could 453 00:26:41,320 --> 00:26:44,800 just keep it at closed auction with the actual people who sold 454 00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:47,600 the track. Kind of got the they got a good, 455 00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:50,280 probably good chunk of money. Man, I'd like to see them get 456 00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:51,800 that back. The one thing that they bought 457 00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:55,560 it for the one good thing is it's good and bad at the same 458 00:26:55,560 --> 00:26:57,960 time. Whenever you have an auction, if 459 00:26:57,960 --> 00:27:00,320 it's sold at no reserve, it goes to the highest bidder. 460 00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:03,400 Meaning there are only so many people that are going to bid on 461 00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:08,560 race tracks as far as you know. Yes, some some people would want 462 00:27:08,560 --> 00:27:11,240 it for the land a track like a lot. 463 00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:13,880 The reason I talk about Gilad is because it's like 20 minutes 464 00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:16,400 from my house. So I know that track very well. 465 00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:18,360 I used to race there every single weekend. 466 00:27:18,360 --> 00:27:21,080 Like I know I know a lot about that track. 467 00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:26,240 I can get there in no time and they're just me as a business 468 00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:32,640 minded person and somebody like who would typically buy a rest 469 00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:35,320 track type facility for the open land type thing. 470 00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:39,400 There are so many better options in that area that are already 471 00:27:39,400 --> 00:27:42,320 more developed. I don't understand why you would 472 00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:46,320 want that that facility like everybody talks about all Amazon 473 00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:48,920 warehouse. Oh this Oh that dude, that's a 2 474 00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:50,920 lane Rd. You can't have semi truck 475 00:27:50,920 --> 00:27:52,920 traffic down that road. It'll destroy the road. 476 00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:55,040 Like it's it's not made for that. 477 00:27:55,040 --> 00:27:57,800 It's it's just not there's a couple really tight corners 478 00:27:57,800 --> 00:28:02,240 going around there. There's a lot of unused 479 00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:05,320 warehouse space that already exists right off the Interstate 480 00:28:05,320 --> 00:28:06,760 where you would want a warehouse to be. 481 00:28:06,760 --> 00:28:08,640 I don't, I don't see that happening. 482 00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:11,920 The data center thing doesn't make any sense for a place like 483 00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:15,680 a lot won't pass tests for as far as the water and all that 484 00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:18,640 stuff goes. Again, it's not even connected 485 00:28:18,640 --> 00:28:21,840 to city water. I don't know. 486 00:28:21,960 --> 00:28:24,480 It's I don't see anything happening to that. 487 00:28:24,480 --> 00:28:30,200 If anything, I would think that Wells would potentially buy it 488 00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:34,160 back for lesser money than he initially sold it for. 489 00:28:34,160 --> 00:28:36,560 So as long as some of those bills came through, honestly, 490 00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:39,160 some of these previous track owners could come out on top. 491 00:28:39,160 --> 00:28:45,200 Man who again somebody talked about what was it Greg talked 492 00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:47,640 about potentially purchasing some equipment. 493 00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:50,200 Who bought the equipment? That's what I would like to know 494 00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:53,600 because that might tell you who would potentially be looked 495 00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:56,440 because that's drag race specific equipment, you know 496 00:28:56,440 --> 00:28:58,960 like yeah, change the wheels and tires and stuff on those 497 00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:01,000 tractors. Those tractors have a little 498 00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:05,240 bitty tires obviously not doing tractor real tractor work with 499 00:29:05,720 --> 00:29:09,840 even though they could, but a lot of that stuff specific it 500 00:29:09,840 --> 00:29:13,200 would be expensive to convert those back to doing real tractor 501 00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:15,120 work so. Yeah, I'm pretty sure Greg 502 00:29:15,120 --> 00:29:16,920 wanted the Ferris wheel in the 1st place. 503 00:29:17,160 --> 00:29:20,960 Knowing him that hey, Greg wanted that Ferris wheel. 504 00:29:21,080 --> 00:29:22,800 I know better. You know what? 505 00:29:22,800 --> 00:29:24,840 Hang in there guys. He can build the zone. 506 00:29:25,280 --> 00:29:27,840 It's that time, you know how that goes, where we got to give 507 00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:31,840 a few moments of your time to our marketing partners. 508 00:29:32,120 --> 00:29:35,640 Let them tell you what they've got going on in the great world 509 00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:38,240 of drag racing. We'll be right back with a 510 00:29:38,240 --> 00:29:41,280 little bit more, maybe another hot topic, who knows? 511 00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:44,040 Don't go anywhere like and share peace. 512 00:29:49,400 --> 00:29:52,720 Here's the skinny on the Pro Form Slim Fit Radiator Systems. 513 00:29:52,720 --> 00:29:55,760 They are the industry's first and only four inch thick 514 00:29:55,760 --> 00:29:58,080 radiator system.

Casey, where do we pick back up? 563 00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:46,280 Man, I know we were talking a little bit about the OG. 564 00:32:46,280 --> 00:32:48,720 We talked a little bit about tracks going up for auction, 565 00:32:48,720 --> 00:32:52,360 which is the little bit of a bummer to this episode. 566 00:32:52,360 --> 00:32:55,800 But at the same note, we can remain positive if we need. 567 00:32:55,960 --> 00:32:59,480 Hopefully those owners who sold the tracks will get them back 568 00:32:59,480 --> 00:33:03,120 under their, under their, under their belts as opposed to them 569 00:33:03,120 --> 00:33:06,280 going to someone else or whoever else buys them. 570 00:33:06,280 --> 00:33:08,720 Maybe they'll do an even better job in the 1st place. 571 00:33:09,240 --> 00:33:10,360 You know, it's kind of where we are. 572 00:33:10,720 --> 00:33:13,840 Yeah, At the end of the day, we can only hope for the best. 573 00:33:13,840 --> 00:33:17,160 I mean it a lot of those scenarios fully operational, new 574 00:33:17,160 --> 00:33:21,920 facilities like places like VMPS and NHRA, national event type 575 00:33:21,920 --> 00:33:25,720 facility, a place like a lot if it was quarter mile would be as 576 00:33:25,720 --> 00:33:27,080 well. It's just as nice. 577 00:33:27,920 --> 00:33:31,200 It's been improved recently. I think those types of places 578 00:33:31,200 --> 00:33:33,200 aren't going to be that big of a deal unfortunately. 579 00:33:33,200 --> 00:33:35,800 Atlanta and Memphis, like there ain't anything going to happen 580 00:33:35,800 --> 00:33:40,280 with those I would say, unless it's just a philanthropical type 581 00:33:40,320 --> 00:33:45,040 decision by some big company or somebody with real deep pockets. 582 00:33:45,040 --> 00:33:49,880 But something I wanted to talk about, man, it's new news out 583 00:33:49,880 --> 00:33:52,760 here. Flow is going to take over the 584 00:33:52,760 --> 00:33:56,880 nhra.tv type YouTube sportsman coverage and stuff. 585 00:33:56,880 --> 00:34:01,840 So I guess you being the the head of the streaming department 586 00:34:01,840 --> 00:34:06,640 and going Brack Racing side of things, the sole provider of the 587 00:34:06,640 --> 00:34:12,880 streaming services, I guess I want to know like what do you 588 00:34:12,880 --> 00:34:16,880 think that's going to include? Is it going to raise the flow 589 00:34:16,880 --> 00:34:20,760 price? Because obviously me, I wouldn't 590 00:34:20,760 --> 00:34:25,280 call myself an anti flow type guy, but I was very frustrated 591 00:34:25,280 --> 00:34:29,080 for a couple years of paying for a subscription and there was a 592 00:34:29,080 --> 00:34:33,679 lot of like buffering and there was a lot of drops and coverage 593 00:34:33,679 --> 00:34:35,760 wouldn't start on time and things like that. 594 00:34:36,199 --> 00:34:41,120 I will say as somebody who is very disappointed in flow as far 595 00:34:41,120 --> 00:34:45,159 as 2026 is concerned, every time I've watched it, it's been great 596 00:34:45,159 --> 00:34:46,920 coverage. They've been doing a lot better 597 00:34:46,920 --> 00:34:49,639 with their pit interviews. They've been doing a lot better 598 00:34:49,639 --> 00:34:53,480 with really as far as I've seen in 2026, no buffering. 599 00:34:54,840 --> 00:34:58,280 So as long as the price stays the same, I would think that 600 00:34:58,760 --> 00:35:03,040 like I'd I'd subscribe to that if I can watch NHRA and PDRA 601 00:35:03,040 --> 00:35:08,640 now. Well, and and as I'm answering 602 00:35:08,640 --> 00:35:12,200 Maurice over here, he's saying he thought it BMP was a lease 603 00:35:12,200 --> 00:35:14,120 deal. Hey, we thought so too Maurice. 604 00:35:14,760 --> 00:35:20,480 We thought that was a kind of a owner finance style transaction 605 00:35:20,480 --> 00:35:21,760 as well. We'll see what happens in the 606 00:35:21,760 --> 00:35:23,240 coming days. But Casey answering your 607 00:35:23,240 --> 00:35:28,440 question, Lowe has done a really good job here lately from what 608 00:35:28,440 --> 00:35:32,600 I've noticed. I don't anticipate this being 609 00:35:32,600 --> 00:35:38,280 something that is under thought. I feel like NHRA in their group 610 00:35:38,280 --> 00:35:44,160 of techs and and the crew, I understand how they function. 611 00:35:45,160 --> 00:35:48,480 It is a well-rounded group of tech individuals. 612 00:35:48,480 --> 00:35:53,360 So I'm, I'm confident that Flow's going to do a good job 613 00:35:53,680 --> 00:36:00,080 with the events and, and bring us something new, maybe even a 614 00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:03,760 from a different angle, hopefully without a filter. 615 00:36:03,760 --> 00:36:07,560 As you and I have both discussed where since it's going to be 616 00:36:07,560 --> 00:36:10,560 live on YouTube, we get interviews that are on YouTube 617 00:36:10,560 --> 00:36:13,520 and not necessarily on mainstream TV where we could 618 00:36:13,520 --> 00:36:17,680 actually hear what everybody really thinks whenever the Flow 619 00:36:17,680 --> 00:36:21,280 mic is in their face and maybe they just know to turn is 620 00:36:21,280 --> 00:36:24,080 there's no way that our professionals and any other 621 00:36:24,080 --> 00:36:28,400 professional for that matter, in Motorsports don't have two hats. 622 00:36:28,400 --> 00:36:32,280 You have the driver of a of a sponsored vehicle and you have 623 00:36:32,280 --> 00:36:36,240 the maybe white collar or blue collar work, whatever white, 624 00:36:36,360 --> 00:36:40,160 whatever you want to call yourself that you can you can 625 00:36:40,440 --> 00:36:43,680 talk the way you want to talk. So I'm really hoping that we get 626 00:36:43,680 --> 00:36:47,320 a little less censorship at the racetrack, maybe a little bit 627 00:36:47,320 --> 00:36:50,960 more drama at the racetrack, a little bit more behind the 628 00:36:50,960 --> 00:36:55,480 scenes stuff. This could be really good and 629 00:36:55,680 --> 00:37:00,280 hey, hey, I'm George GBR media. If you need any help flow 630 00:37:00,400 --> 00:37:03,720 streaming any races, look me up. I'm right here us at going 631 00:37:03,720 --> 00:37:05,040 bracket racing. We'll be glad to help. 632 00:37:06,280 --> 00:37:08,840 Yeah, that's right man. And I mean perfect example, 633 00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:13,280 Stevie Fast wins pro mod in Saint Louis NHRA pro mod, right? 634 00:37:13,320 --> 00:37:17,640 We all know who Stevie Fast is. Stevie doesn't hide who he is, 635 00:37:18,040 --> 00:37:21,720 but I noticed there was a picture that NHRA posted and 636 00:37:21,720 --> 00:37:25,600 there was a Michelob Ultra beard pan that was unopened hiding 637 00:37:25,600 --> 00:37:28,520 slightly behind his back but not quite all the way because of the 638 00:37:28,520 --> 00:37:30,040 angle. But the point is he didn't want 639 00:37:30,040 --> 00:37:32,400 it in the picture because of who it was for. 640 00:37:33,480 --> 00:37:36,000 I can tell you also that exact same picture would have been 641 00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:40,760 taken for Stevie's personal company or or anybody else and 642 00:37:40,760 --> 00:37:43,440 he'd have been chugging it because he just wanted NHRA 643 00:37:43,440 --> 00:37:45,560 promo out of Gateway. It's awesome, you know? 644 00:37:46,080 --> 00:37:48,520 I mean. He won the best of the best 645 00:37:48,520 --> 00:37:50,040 deal. But the fact of the matter is, 646 00:37:50,040 --> 00:37:54,120 is like, I'm not saying that it needs to be this crazy 647 00:37:54,120 --> 00:37:58,880 uncensored deal, but I am saying that national TV does not allow 648 00:37:58,880 --> 00:38:02,160 you to say things that people say in everyday conversation. 649 00:38:02,160 --> 00:38:03,680 And these people are all professionals. 650 00:38:03,680 --> 00:38:06,920 Like, they're not going to sound like an idiot out there, but 651 00:38:06,920 --> 00:38:09,080 every once in a while, something's going to slip up. 652 00:38:09,200 --> 00:38:13,320 And you can only say so many things without getting in 653 00:38:13,320 --> 00:38:18,280 trouble by I think it's the, it's not the FTC. 654 00:38:18,560 --> 00:38:22,680 Maybe it is, I don't know, FCC, maybe Communications Commission, 655 00:38:22,680 --> 00:38:25,880 something like that. But it, it was originally 656 00:38:25,880 --> 00:38:29,120 invented for the radio where you can't say certain things on the 657 00:38:29,120 --> 00:38:31,440 radio because it's offensive to certain people. 658 00:38:31,440 --> 00:38:35,360 Well, obviously if you pay for a subscription to flow, you have 659 00:38:35,360 --> 00:38:38,080 the choice to either pay for said subscription or not. 660 00:38:38,080 --> 00:38:42,400 Whereas like Fox Sports, depending on how it works, you 661 00:38:42,400 --> 00:38:44,440 could just turn on the TV and it's on there. 662 00:38:44,440 --> 00:38:46,760 So you can, you know, I guess that's how it works. 663 00:38:46,760 --> 00:38:51,000 But the fact of the matter is, is that I think it would be good 664 00:38:51,000 --> 00:38:54,320 for the sport for the people to talk like the people who buy the 665 00:38:54,320 --> 00:38:56,240 products that are on the side of the car. 666 00:38:56,480 --> 00:39:00,320 I think it's good for those people to all be able to relate 667 00:39:00,960 --> 00:39:07,480 to the real individual, not some corporate or some corporate 668 00:39:07,480 --> 00:39:11,960 speak that is required. That sounds like you're in, you 669 00:39:11,960 --> 00:39:15,040 know, that you're giving a speech to a bunch of guys in 670 00:39:15,040 --> 00:39:18,320 ties and, you know, suits and ties sitting at a table that's, 671 00:39:18,880 --> 00:39:22,520 you know, 18 people deep and foot thick. 672 00:39:22,720 --> 00:39:25,320 We know there's a time and a place, obviously, right? 673 00:39:25,320 --> 00:39:29,800 We know that it is needed that that you, you want to have your 674 00:39:29,800 --> 00:39:32,280 professional hat and do what you're supposed to do to make 675 00:39:32,280 --> 00:39:35,400 your marketing partners as happy as possible, right? 676 00:39:35,720 --> 00:39:41,200 But as a viewer and as a racer, I want to know Austin Prock 677 00:39:41,200 --> 00:39:45,240 behind the scenes because I have a feeling he's probably a pretty 678 00:39:45,240 --> 00:39:47,760 fun person to hang out with, you know what I mean? 679 00:39:48,760 --> 00:39:54,200 As far As for whatever, understand how he moves about, 680 00:39:54,200 --> 00:39:58,120 If he wants to be himself, then allow it, you know? 681 00:39:58,280 --> 00:40:00,600 So I don't know. But that is one thing that I 682 00:40:00,600 --> 00:40:04,560 liked about Itre's stream. People were not scared to speak 683 00:40:04,560 --> 00:40:10,360 their mind and. Honestly this could easily and 684 00:40:10,360 --> 00:40:14,000 this is all opinion and just something that just jumped in my 685 00:40:14,000 --> 00:40:17,440 head. Had IHRA kept going, this could 686 00:40:17,440 --> 00:40:20,880 have easily been the competition to the type of stream that they 687 00:40:20,880 --> 00:40:25,640 were putting on because it was stellar what IHRA did for those 688 00:40:25,640 --> 00:40:27,680 couple of. Races it was and everybody can 689 00:40:27,680 --> 00:40:29,440 say it's unsustainable, it's whatever. 690 00:40:29,440 --> 00:40:31,160 Well, obviously it's not around anymore. 691 00:40:31,160 --> 00:40:33,480 You were probably right. But the fact of the matter was, 692 00:40:33,480 --> 00:40:37,400 is it showed what moved the needle and correct. 693 00:40:38,160 --> 00:40:42,400 I, I was listening to a podcast the other day and it was some 694 00:40:42,400 --> 00:40:45,200 business type podcast and this guy was saying, you know, 695 00:40:45,200 --> 00:40:48,480 there's a lot of people that have invented products or, or 696 00:40:48,480 --> 00:40:51,920 talked about certain things, but it was like 10 years too earlier 697 00:40:52,160 --> 00:40:54,800 or 10 years too late or, you know, it just wasn't the right 698 00:40:54,800 --> 00:41:00,040 time was the point of it. And you know, the ITRA deal 699 00:41:00,040 --> 00:41:01,880 didn't work out. It's unfortunate. 700 00:41:01,920 --> 00:41:04,880 I wish it would have because the way the way that it was laid out 701 00:41:04,880 --> 00:41:07,000 as far as the racers are concerned, it was a great thing 702 00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:09,040 for the racers. Business side of things, 703 00:41:09,400 --> 00:41:12,120 unsustainable. Whatever proofs in the pudding, 704 00:41:12,240 --> 00:41:16,400 it's not here anymore. However, that being said, there 705 00:41:16,400 --> 00:41:19,760 are a lot of things that were done at HRA that showed they 706 00:41:19,760 --> 00:41:22,600 moved the needle and showed racers would participate in it, 707 00:41:22,600 --> 00:41:27,680 showed that people would watch. And you know, this, this whole 708 00:41:27,680 --> 00:41:33,040 flow deal might be a, a slow way of going in and being like, hey 709 00:41:33,040 --> 00:41:36,640 man, if you guys can handle the sportsman side of things for a 710 00:41:36,640 --> 00:41:41,080 year or two and not have any mess ups, maybe we will just go 711 00:41:41,080 --> 00:41:43,080 that route for our professional categories. 712 00:41:43,080 --> 00:41:46,680 Because there's a lot of people that had legitimately quit 713 00:41:46,680 --> 00:41:50,080 caring about professional categories because those are not 714 00:41:50,080 --> 00:41:53,240 people they relate to anymore. But The thing is they are. 715 00:41:53,240 --> 00:41:55,800 They're just not allowed to be those people when the camera's 716 00:41:55,800 --> 00:41:59,240 on. So Bob, Bob Blackley, welcome to 717 00:41:59,240 --> 00:42:00,320 the show. I don't I don't know if I've 718 00:42:00,320 --> 00:42:02,520 ever seen you over here. I see you on the YouTube side 719 00:42:02,520 --> 00:42:05,760 Bob. And to my knowledge and reading, 720 00:42:05,760 --> 00:42:10,080 I believe Warren's post, the divisional stuff will remain on 721 00:42:10,080 --> 00:42:15,120 NHR as YouTube page and I do believe it will remain free from 722 00:42:15,120 --> 00:42:19,120 what I know right now. This more so speaks to the 723 00:42:19,120 --> 00:42:23,160 sportsman racing or or whatever you want to call it that happens 724 00:42:23,160 --> 00:42:27,160 at the national events if I'm not mistaken myself, the type of 725 00:42:27,160 --> 00:42:31,400 coverage that we're going to see flow stream for us. 726 00:42:32,440 --> 00:42:34,360 But Bob, to answer your question, that is a great 727 00:42:34,360 --> 00:42:37,720 question. I do believe we will continue to 728 00:42:37,720 --> 00:42:40,480 see divisional racing on on YouTube. 729 00:42:42,120 --> 00:42:44,240 Yeah, I think so. I think so also. 730 00:42:44,240 --> 00:42:46,640 I think it's actually supposed to be in both places. 731 00:42:46,640 --> 00:42:49,760 The difference will be is the flow coverage will be 732 00:42:49,760 --> 00:42:54,800 significantly better than just simply because and now I just 733 00:42:54,800 --> 00:42:56,880 threw that pin all the way across the room, flipped out of 734 00:42:56,880 --> 00:42:59,800 my hand. But but they just have more 735 00:42:59,800 --> 00:43:01,480 resources. They have boom cameras. 736 00:43:01,560 --> 00:43:04,520 They have, I assume they're going to have their interviews 737 00:43:04,520 --> 00:43:06,800 and stuff like that. I mean, you look at, look at 738 00:43:06,800 --> 00:43:09,560 flows, PDRA coverage, I assume that's how it's going to be. 739 00:43:10,120 --> 00:43:11,760 Right. It's not a step above it, you 740 00:43:11,760 --> 00:43:13,720 know what I mean? It's going to be the top of the 741 00:43:13,720 --> 00:43:16,360 line, the type of coverage for sure. 742 00:43:16,760 --> 00:43:18,960 And that's going to be great because for the sportsman 743 00:43:18,960 --> 00:43:21,440 coverage to have that, if they have pit interviews and stuff 744 00:43:21,440 --> 00:43:23,640 like that, you're talking all these sportsman classes are 745 00:43:23,640 --> 00:43:26,840 finally going to be able to legitimately sell sponsorships 746 00:43:26,840 --> 00:43:31,240 again, like sell sponsors on Hey, man, I'm, you know, top ten 747 00:43:31,240 --> 00:43:32,560 in points. I'm doing this that and the 748 00:43:32,560 --> 00:43:33,680 other. I'm a super gas racer. 749 00:43:33,680 --> 00:43:35,960 I'm a super comp racer or whatever, top sports and top 750 00:43:35,960 --> 00:43:37,880 dragster. They come and interview me 751 00:43:37,880 --> 00:43:40,200 because I'm so and so and I've been in, you know, because I'm 752 00:43:40,200 --> 00:43:42,880 Dan Fletcher. Well, Dan Fletcher now can get 753 00:43:42,880 --> 00:43:46,520 interviewed now. It's, you know, we had him on at 754 00:43:46,520 --> 00:43:48,120 this point. I can say hundreds of episodes 755 00:43:48,120 --> 00:43:51,600 ago we we had Dan Fletcher on and he was saying, you know, 756 00:43:51,600 --> 00:43:54,760 like back in the 90s, it was a lot easier because you could 757 00:43:54,760 --> 00:43:58,040 have you could be a store at the racetrack, things like that. 758 00:43:58,200 --> 00:43:59,640 And it got harder over the years. 759 00:43:59,640 --> 00:44:01,800 He's Dan Fletcher. Like Dan Fletcher should never 760 00:44:01,800 --> 00:44:05,440 not be sponsored. He's literally is the best 761 00:44:05,440 --> 00:44:08,480 sportsman bracket or sportsman drag racer of all time. 762 00:44:08,680 --> 00:44:11,280 The only person that can stand eye to idle with him is Frank 763 00:44:11,280 --> 00:44:14,680 Manzo. I mean, the fact of the matter 764 00:44:14,680 --> 00:44:17,160 is, is like if Dan Fletcher gets interviewed every race, now you 765 00:44:17,200 --> 00:44:20,160 can go tell micro strategies. Hey, by the way, I'm getting 766 00:44:20,160 --> 00:44:22,200 interviewed every single race. What do you want me to talk 767 00:44:22,200 --> 00:44:23,520 about? What do you want me to say? 768 00:44:24,000 --> 00:44:30,160 And now there's that much more value in NHRA racing, which then 769 00:44:30,160 --> 00:44:34,120 again leads more value and not necessarily sponsoring racers, 770 00:44:34,280 --> 00:44:38,960 but sponsoring events like now you can have sponsored feeds and 771 00:44:38,960 --> 00:44:41,160 now people will throw more money at it. 772 00:44:41,160 --> 00:44:43,680 It's it's all around a good thing. 773 00:44:44,000 --> 00:44:45,600 The more publicity you can get, the better. 774 00:44:46,200 --> 00:44:48,680 Now don't get us lying though about the type of coverage that 775 00:44:48,680 --> 00:44:50,880 Flow will provide because neither of us have any 776 00:44:50,880 --> 00:44:55,360 affiliation with Flow nor has Flow came to George or Casey and 777 00:44:55,360 --> 00:44:57,960 said, hey, talk about the fact that we're going to take over 778 00:44:58,440 --> 00:45:01,480 coverage for this particular type of events for any tray. 779 00:45:01,720 --> 00:45:04,960 That's just news that you can go out on the Internet and read for 780 00:45:04,960 --> 00:45:07,160 yourself, right? And I know there's a FAQ. 781 00:45:07,720 --> 00:45:10,800 There's plenty of avenues that you can go down and and maybe 782 00:45:11,800 --> 00:45:13,920 jump down a rabbit hole as to what you're going to get. 783 00:45:14,240 --> 00:45:17,320 I don't expect to see a price increase for those of you who 784 00:45:17,320 --> 00:45:19,640 are grandfathered, Keep that in mind. 785 00:45:20,120 --> 00:45:23,800 But whenever they roll out something new, if the price goes 786 00:45:23,800 --> 00:45:26,520 up, I will not be shocked at all. 787 00:45:26,720 --> 00:45:29,080 Just saying, OK, that's how. Everything. 788 00:45:29,080 --> 00:45:31,960 Works guys. Yeah, as long as the quality 789 00:45:31,960 --> 00:45:33,320 matches what you're paying for it. 790 00:45:33,320 --> 00:45:38,560 The the problem was right now is that as far as the racing I like 791 00:45:38,560 --> 00:45:41,640 to watch goes, they covered winter series and they covered 792 00:45:41,960 --> 00:45:46,560 PDRA. If they cover NHRA as well, I'll 793 00:45:46,560 --> 00:45:49,320 probably get a subscription to it because that's all the stuff 794 00:45:49,320 --> 00:45:52,560 I like all the stuff I like all the all the winter series stuff. 795 00:45:52,560 --> 00:45:54,880 I don't know what they're doing with that now that Wes isn't 796 00:45:54,880 --> 00:45:57,240 that winter series anymore, but they're still doing Cold War 797 00:45:57,240 --> 00:46:01,040 series and now they're they got some other stuff going on in 798 00:46:01,040 --> 00:46:03,920 some other places and then World Series of Pearl mods going to 799 00:46:03,920 --> 00:46:06,520 Texas. And but whatever the point is, 800 00:46:06,520 --> 00:46:10,040 is like it was NHRA is probably what's going to tip the scale 801 00:46:10,040 --> 00:46:15,840 for me to be able to justify paying for the flow subscription 802 00:46:15,840 --> 00:46:18,760 now. Yep, Yep, that again, again, I'm 803 00:46:18,800 --> 00:46:21,560 I'm hoping for positive, but good, good conversation 804 00:46:21,560 --> 00:46:26,520 nonetheless, Casey. But yeah, guys, it's again, it's 805 00:46:26,520 --> 00:46:31,040 that time of year where things are beginning to wind down. 806 00:46:31,040 --> 00:46:33,440 It's going to be quite a bit of bench racing going on. 807 00:46:33,440 --> 00:46:34,640 You're here going bracket racing. 808 00:46:34,640 --> 00:46:41,560 Talk about a little bit more pro mod stuff as we enter into super 809 00:46:41,560 --> 00:46:44,200 fast season. We're going to see some fast 810 00:46:44,200 --> 00:46:49,920 stuff over this offseason. You know, we don't get to watch 811 00:46:50,240 --> 00:46:52,560 anything in Bradenton because like you said, it'll be here in 812 00:46:52,560 --> 00:46:55,640 Texas. Along with what I saw XRP post, 813 00:46:56,040 --> 00:46:59,680 I don't have enough information on that $1,000,000 whatever I 814 00:46:59,680 --> 00:47:03,240 saw, but it had something to do with pro mods and that's a lot 815 00:47:03,240 --> 00:47:06,880 of zeros. So especially with it being at 816 00:47:06,880 --> 00:47:13,120 XRPA Launchpad for for pro mods, expect to see big things out of 817 00:47:13,120 --> 00:47:17,920 Texas, out of DFW more specifically as it pertains to 818 00:47:17,920 --> 00:47:20,080 the pro mod class for sure next year. 819 00:47:21,120 --> 00:47:25,800 Yeah, I'm running. I mean, it's, it's got to be 820 00:47:25,800 --> 00:47:27,040 awesome. That's all I can say. 821 00:47:27,040 --> 00:47:29,920 I mean, you know, you know, you've known me my entire life. 822 00:47:30,160 --> 00:47:32,880 All I've ever wanted to do is watch pro mods always. 823 00:47:32,880 --> 00:47:33,880 Yeah, buddy. Yeah, buddy. 824 00:47:34,200 --> 00:47:36,840 That's what I want to watch the most exciting form of drag 825 00:47:36,840 --> 00:47:39,480 racing there is. And it's still a scenario where 826 00:47:39,840 --> 00:47:43,080 like if me and you really wanted to, it take a whole lot of 827 00:47:43,080 --> 00:47:46,000 effort, but we could have one like where normal people can 828 00:47:46,000 --> 00:47:47,560 still have that type of stuff. That's. 829 00:47:47,720 --> 00:47:48,480 Right. That's right. 830 00:47:49,480 --> 00:47:53,160 So it's, I don't know, I just feel like it's the every man's 831 00:47:53,160 --> 00:47:55,720 type of category. It's the bracket racing of heads 832 00:47:55,720 --> 00:47:58,800 up racing really. And I'll be honest with you, 833 00:47:58,800 --> 00:48:01,320 I'll be, I'll do my best to throw my hat in the ring. 834 00:48:01,320 --> 00:48:04,560 Maybe I can get that live right here on Going Bracket Racing, 835 00:48:04,600 --> 00:48:08,120 who knows, But I'll try my best to throw my hat in the ring 836 00:48:08,120 --> 00:48:11,080 there. So I at least want to see one of 837 00:48:11,080 --> 00:48:13,240 those events live streamed, you know what I mean? 838 00:48:14,320 --> 00:48:16,600 Yeah, I mean, if anything, it's it's awesome. 839 00:48:16,600 --> 00:48:19,160 The since we'll be down the road from your house, no matter what 840 00:48:19,160 --> 00:48:21,320 happens, you need to at least go see it in person. 841 00:48:21,320 --> 00:48:23,640 Just just. To be there, yeah, yeah. 842 00:48:23,880 --> 00:48:27,360 Seeing, seeing legitimate eight mile pro mod racing, I mean, 843 00:48:27,360 --> 00:48:29,760 it's very exciting. It's way more exciting than 844 00:48:29,760 --> 00:48:32,560 quarter mile pro mod racing. Yeah, that place will be back 845 00:48:32,560 --> 00:48:33,720 too. I know better. 846 00:48:33,720 --> 00:48:36,880 So well, man, we're coming up on that hour mark. 847 00:48:36,880 --> 00:48:39,520 We've got about. I guess we can end it now in 848 00:48:39,520 --> 00:48:40,760 Casey. I don't know what else to talk 849 00:48:40,760 --> 00:48:43,280 about. I don't know, man. 850 00:48:43,280 --> 00:48:45,640 It's again, it's that time of year. 851 00:48:45,640 --> 00:48:47,560 Congratulations. I guess we hadn't said it yet. 852 00:48:47,560 --> 00:48:49,960 Congratulations to Corey Gilletti for winning the OG 853 00:48:49,960 --> 00:48:52,120 Million Man. I know that's something that 854 00:48:52,240 --> 00:48:55,600 Corey was on this show and he said it's several times that 855 00:48:55,640 --> 00:48:57,520 that's the one race that he wanted to win. 856 00:48:57,520 --> 00:49:01,760 He's finally conquered that. I'm very interested to see what 857 00:49:01,760 --> 00:49:05,040 the future holds for Corey Gilletti because at this point, 858 00:49:05,080 --> 00:49:09,880 you know, my my main conflict internally with myself every 859 00:49:09,880 --> 00:49:12,360 time this always came up with who was the best of that 860 00:49:12,360 --> 00:49:14,080 generation was between Gage and Corey. 861 00:49:14,080 --> 00:49:17,720 And I always said whoever won the OG million, that was it. 862 00:49:18,320 --> 00:49:20,880 That was the best. And I really think Corey just 863 00:49:20,880 --> 00:49:24,280 sealed the deal with the greatest of his generation doing 864 00:49:24,280 --> 00:49:26,440 that. You know, that being said, I 865 00:49:26,440 --> 00:49:29,400 wouldn't be surprised if Gage won it in 2027 and now I'm all 866 00:49:29,400 --> 00:49:33,040 screwed up again at that point. Now, I don't know again, but the 867 00:49:33,040 --> 00:49:35,640 fact of the matter is, is that was a big deal. 868 00:49:35,640 --> 00:49:40,000 That was the type that Corey started his practice racing 869 00:49:40,000 --> 00:49:44,000 career with, the biggest downer that you could possibly have, 870 00:49:44,480 --> 00:49:47,960 not only losing in the finals of the OG million, but crashing at 871 00:49:47,960 --> 00:49:50,640 it and then having the whole Internet against him and blah, 872 00:49:50,640 --> 00:49:53,680 blah, blah. But he conquered all that. 873 00:49:53,880 --> 00:49:56,280 And I'm just interested to see, we were talking about this a 874 00:49:56,280 --> 00:49:59,520 little earlier today and this is just something just to leave the 875 00:49:59,520 --> 00:50:03,280 show with. Where does Corey go from here? 876 00:50:03,360 --> 00:50:06,600 Because at this point, he's pretty much done everything 877 00:50:06,600 --> 00:50:08,920 there is to do in bracket racing. 878 00:50:08,920 --> 00:50:13,280 He can continue to do it and continue, can continue to be one 879 00:50:13,280 --> 00:50:17,320 of the best that's ever done it. Does Corey eventually seek a 880 00:50:17,320 --> 00:50:21,440 different challenge and try to go in HRA racing? 881 00:50:21,440 --> 00:50:24,720 Does he try to get into a Pro stock or a pro mod or something 882 00:50:24,720 --> 00:50:28,280 like does he have? I just wonder with that, because 883 00:50:28,280 --> 00:50:30,720 he's still, Corey's still really young. 884 00:50:30,720 --> 00:50:33,360 Like I mean, he's in his what, mid 20s, getting in the upper 885 00:50:33,360 --> 00:50:36,000 20s, something like that. Maybe he's 26, something like 886 00:50:36,000 --> 00:50:37,760 that. Say he's in his mid 20s. 887 00:50:37,920 --> 00:50:39,960 Yep. Yeah, but he's accomplished a 888 00:50:39,960 --> 00:50:44,360 lot, but he is also learned a lot just in life and being 889 00:50:44,360 --> 00:50:48,240 around the right people. And I feel like if Corey Galetti 890 00:50:49,280 --> 00:50:52,920 decided he wanted to run a Pro Stock, Corey Galetti could get 891 00:50:52,920 --> 00:50:55,800 in a Pro Stock. Maybe not in 2027. 892 00:50:55,800 --> 00:50:57,800 It might be a little late for that this year. 893 00:50:58,400 --> 00:51:01,360 I don't know how their stuff works now, but in 2028 for sure. 894 00:51:01,920 --> 00:51:04,680 Like it'd take testing and figuring out how to drive the 895 00:51:04,680 --> 00:51:07,080 car. There's a lot going on, but I 896 00:51:07,080 --> 00:51:11,480 could totally see Corey being an NHRA Pro Stock driver at some 897 00:51:11,480 --> 00:51:14,160 point. What did Stevie Fast Jackson say 898 00:51:14,160 --> 00:51:17,280 on Was it boosting BS? What did he say Casey? 899 00:51:17,280 --> 00:51:22,120 He said that the best drivers that he has in his stables are 900 00:51:22,120 --> 00:51:26,240 bracket racers and you're talking shake him back, shake 901 00:51:26,240 --> 00:51:30,160 him and you're talking about arguably, arguably one of the 902 00:51:30,160 --> 00:51:36,000 best to ever do it. So it's like, yes, he can do and 903 00:51:36,120 --> 00:51:40,240 and then make a lot of noise doing whatever class he jumps 904 00:51:40,240 --> 00:51:43,560 into. Look at it this way, it'd be 905 00:51:43,560 --> 00:51:45,160 dumb to. See him on a pro stock bike. 906 00:51:46,160 --> 00:51:48,440 Yeah, yeah, that'd be, that'd be wild. 907 00:51:48,440 --> 00:51:50,240 I don't know if he'd go that. Route I don't know if he'd do. 908 00:51:50,240 --> 00:51:55,000 It Now it's playing Pro Stock racer Sean Langman, Pro star 909 00:51:56,400 --> 00:51:59,440 Dallas Glenn, bracket racer Sean Langman bracket racer. 910 00:52:00,280 --> 00:52:01,120 Yep. Spence, Mass. 911 00:52:01,800 --> 00:52:02,920 Racket racer? Yep. 912 00:52:03,000 --> 00:52:05,080 Like I mean. There's more, but. 913 00:52:05,840 --> 00:52:09,720 There's a lot Jake Coughlin, the original bracket racer, you 914 00:52:09,720 --> 00:52:13,320 know, like TJ bracket racer. I mean all. 915 00:52:13,320 --> 00:52:15,480 Of them. Dave Connolly. 916 00:52:15,480 --> 00:52:19,080 Yep, back in the day, Dave Connolly was one of the original 917 00:52:19,400 --> 00:52:21,560 bracket racers that got into Pro Stock. 918 00:52:21,960 --> 00:52:26,920 I mean, it's there's there's so many, so many success stories 919 00:52:27,120 --> 00:52:30,680 start with bracket racers and you have to be the right person 920 00:52:30,680 --> 00:52:32,760 at the right time, knowing the right people. 921 00:52:32,760 --> 00:52:34,640 And I think Corey knows all those people. 922 00:52:34,640 --> 00:52:38,160 And I really think if he wanted, if he told people I want to run 923 00:52:38,160 --> 00:52:41,680 a pro stock, he can put it together and he would be 924 00:52:41,680 --> 00:52:43,680 successful. And I think that he could 925 00:52:43,680 --> 00:52:47,800 potentially be the next like Erica Hinders type person that 926 00:52:47,800 --> 00:52:50,040 everybody's like, man, where's this guy been all the time? 927 00:52:51,120 --> 00:52:56,280 I agree 100% right and only time will tell but who knows what's 928 00:52:56,280 --> 00:52:57,960 happening, what's coming next for OCG? 929 00:52:58,920 --> 00:53:02,760 But whatever it is I believe he would have success at doing it. 930 00:53:02,760 --> 00:53:05,440 I'm going to shout out Thermal Warren before I get out of here. 931 00:53:05,760 --> 00:53:09,480 St. to strip Elk Creek drag way looks like Jones drag 932 00:53:09,480 --> 00:53:11,960 productions. It's coming this Friday and 933 00:53:11,960 --> 00:53:14,680 Saturday. If you're close to Elk Creek, 934 00:53:15,160 --> 00:53:18,320 get in where you fit in. Casey. 935 00:53:19,320 --> 00:53:23,040 I'm going to close this out, man, as we get done with another 936 00:53:23,040 --> 00:53:29,600 episode, 249 of them. It's been fun, been real. 937 00:53:29,720 --> 00:53:32,400 We've had a lot of technical difficulties that you guys just 938 00:53:32,400 --> 00:53:35,840 don't get. My screen is still doing wacky 939 00:53:35,840 --> 00:53:37,760 things as I sit here and talk to you now. 940 00:53:37,760 --> 00:53:43,120 So on behalf of GBR, we'll see you guys probably next Tuesday, 941 00:53:43,120 --> 00:53:47,080 as long as I can get whatever is happening fixed and that we can 942 00:53:47,080 --> 00:53:48,000 talk some more drag racing.
