It was like the mic wasn't 116 00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:09,200 working or is picking up the wrong mic. 117 00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:11,280 So I just making sure that everybody else can hear. 118 00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:15,440 So if anybody, if anybody has issues hearing George or maybe 119 00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:18,640 it's just me, a lot of.

I don't think so. 122 00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:26,400 Just based on the meter I see here case we should be good. 123 00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:28,480 OK, cool. Just checking. 124 00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:31,720 Always got to always got to make sure that's good for all those 125 00:08:32,159 --> 00:08:34,960 GBR customers. That $0.00 fee, you got to make 126 00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:38,480 sure it's top tier. But anyway, Speaking of that, I 127 00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:42,559 did do AGBR Garage video in our members only section just to let 128 00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:45,160 everybody know that we are still planning on doing it. 129 00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:47,480 We are still around and everything just had a lot going 130 00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:48,760 on. If you want to learn more about 131 00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:52,960 that, more behind the scenes information, GBR Garage on the 132 00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:55,720 YouTube channel is where you sign up to to view all that type 133 00:08:55,720 --> 00:09:00,800 of stuff. But that being said, man, dude, 134 00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:06,360 I'm to the point where I'm about to just stop looking at Facebook 135 00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:10,520 for about 6 months because it's, it's just so much negativity and 136 00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:14,440 I'm over it really. You know, at the end of the day, 137 00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:17,080 I was, I was talking to our buddy Dylan Champion the other 138 00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:19,720 day about this and we were just having a conversation. 139 00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:21,680 This was, this might have been two weeks ago. 140 00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:26,560 And I said, look man, I said, you want to know why I really 141 00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:31,600 wanted I trade to work First of all, I liked the programs. 142 00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:34,280 I like the factory getting paid. Who doesn't like to get paid a 143 00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:37,120 lot of money for paying a little entry fee? 144 00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:38,800 Everybody does. We've done that in bracket 145 00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:42,920 racing too. But my whole thought process was 146 00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:46,000 everybody, you know, from the very get go, there are people 147 00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:48,560 gung ho about it being the best thing or people gung ho about it 148 00:09:48,560 --> 00:09:54,400 being the worst thing. But in my mind, I wanted to get 149 00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:58,120 on the train to it being a success, and it had nothing to 150 00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:00,680 do with they had programs that I liked. 151 00:10:00,680 --> 00:10:02,600 It had nothing to do that I wanted to participate. 152 00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:07,080 It had everything to do with the fact that if I was right, then 153 00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:10,240 everybody wins because it's better for all of us racers. 154 00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:14,720 If the other people were right that were anti, that's bad for 155 00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:20,120 all of us and that's the real reason why we were so behind the 156 00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:22,320 fact that this was going to be a good thing. 157 00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:26,040 We wanted it to succeed. Did we think it could? 158 00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:28,600 Sometimes yes, sometimes no. There was. 159 00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:30,920 There's always a way to pull one way or the other. 160 00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:34,720 But positivity is really what we try to push on this channel 161 00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:38,440 about the sport because we try to use drag racing as a way to 162 00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:41,120 get away from negativity. And I hate the fact that we have 163 00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:44,600 to talk about this on here, but obviously we have to. 164 00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:47,120 We can't just blow it over. We're only going to spend a 165 00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:49,400 short amount of time on this because we're going to take this 166 00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:53,160 to a different place where you guys, as far I watch all the 167 00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:56,320 shows and I haven't seen anybody go to this, this next thing that 168 00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:57,840 we're going to talk about after this. 169 00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:00,200 But I just want to get your initial thoughts before we get 170 00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:02,440 into it. Yeah, yeah. 171 00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:06,240 No, I'm I'm I'm not going to be a broken record and and repeat 172 00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:10,760 things that you've already said, Casey, but strongly agree with 173 00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:18,760 everything that you've said so far position it is cutting out 174 00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:21,880 and. Yeah, now it's cutting out 175 00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:25,280 again. Might be that little wire in the 176 00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:29,520 back. Don't hear you. 177 00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:33,480 Nope. Something's wrong with that mic. 178 00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:38,520 Something's messing up anyway. Yeah, there. 179 00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:41,160 I got you for a second. Yeah, but it doesn't even sound 180 00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:42,720 right. It sounds like you're far away 181 00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:44,720 or something. I got to find out what's 182 00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:46,600 happening there. It really sounds like the 183 00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:49,760 computer's picking it up. But anyway, so while he's fixing 184 00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:52,720 that, guys, I'll just get into what we're actually talking 185 00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:54,600 about because you can still hear me, right, George, give me a 186 00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:56,800 number one if you. Yeah, you can still hear me. 187 00:11:56,800 --> 00:12:01,800 All right. So anyway, the the thing that 188 00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:07,600 most of us have learned that I don't think a lot of people 189 00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:12,320 realize is or I don't know if a lot of people realize is that 190 00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:16,160 there's clearly a ton of people who really care about drag 191 00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:18,600 racing overall. Whether you thought that this 192 00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:23,960 was going to be a positive thing or a negative thing, just seeing 193 00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:27,240 all these people clash and go back and forth amongst, you 194 00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:31,440 know, they really, really care about drag racing as a whole. 195 00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:38,600 And honestly, this whole deal with IHRA going downhill, you 196 00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:42,840 know, obviously that's one of the the worst things that could 197 00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:45,600 possibly happen in the sport. One of the most unhealthy 198 00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:48,200 things, I guess you could say to happen to the sport, considering 199 00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:51,800 all of all of what's going on or what he may own, what he may not 200 00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:56,320 own either, Ray. But the worst thing that has 201 00:12:56,320 --> 00:13:01,280 happened in recent times, which is this right now, has shown how 202 00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:04,600 healthy the sport really is. At the same time, because there 203 00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:09,000 are so many people now, be it they're worried about what could 204 00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:13,840 happen, be it be it they're arguing back and forth about 205 00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:16,920 who's right, who's wrong. The point is, is there's a lot 206 00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:20,400 of very passionate people in this sport that are wanting to 207 00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:25,080 support drag racing. So let's see if George has 208 00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:27,720 anything to say, or if he can say anything he might not be 209 00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:28,880 able to. Who knows? 210 00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:29,840 I know. Oh. 211 00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:33,440 Yeah, we got him now, yeah. But it's picking up real bad. 212 00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:35,320 I can tell it's it's up and down. 213 00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:37,840 Just watching my meter. It kind of cuts in and out on 214 00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:40,400 me. So I'll, maybe I'll try to stay 215 00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:43,720 right here where I am and it'll keep keep picking up good. 216 00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:48,960 But Yep, I, I, I, I'm in 100% agreement with you that there 217 00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:52,800 are a lot of people who are being opportunistic on someone 218 00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:55,680 else's failure. That's part it's a little bit 219 00:13:55,680 --> 00:14:00,000 disheartening to me to watch and and being on Facebook and 220 00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:03,560 everybody is is kind of dragging down my sport. 221 00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:06,000 You know, I understand that things happen. 222 00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:08,280 I don't know what all has happened. 223 00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:10,480 I don't want I don't know what will happen moving forward. 224 00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:12,000 That's that's where I'm standing. 225 00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:17,280 It looks like we are at a impasse with I Tre, but it 226 00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:19,240 hasn't been said yet. Is it for sale? 227 00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:22,440 Is it not for sale? Are they bankrupt? 228 00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:25,600 Are they not bankrupt? But it's so negative that it 229 00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:28,520 just it makes my head hurt because it's behind my sport. 230 00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:32,000 What I love to do what the reason why I come on here every 231 00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:36,240 Tuesday with Casey and talk to you guys about drag racing. 232 00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:39,000 You know, this is what we all love. 233 00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:41,440 If you guys are part of GBR community and you're out there 234 00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:43,280 listening in a drag racing podcast. 235 00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:48,440 So give it a little time and and let's lick our wounds. 236 00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:50,080 But more importantly, let's learn. 237 00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:54,240 Let's learn from what we're going through as a community, as 238 00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:57,200 a as a family of racers so that we can make a better moving 239 00:14:57,200 --> 00:14:58,760 forward. Casey. 240 00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:02,040 So I know we'll get into that. Guys, leave your comments. 241 00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:03,720 We are going to go through comments. 242 00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:07,920 This is making this as open of a discussion as possible as I 243 00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:10,560 think I got my mic working at least decent right now. 244 00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:14,920 Casey So where you want to know where you want to go next, man, 245 00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:16,440 I know we got a lot that we can do. 246 00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:18,520 I'm going to start looking at at comments. 247 00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:24,000 Well, I don't know, man. I just don't know what else 248 00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:24,840 there is to say. I do. 249 00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:29,240 I do want to say one more thing about that is you guys all know 250 00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:31,880 who I'm talking about because it's going to, it'll pop up 251 00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:33,320 tonight. Somebody will pop up tonight. 252 00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:36,960 I've put not interested on this particular person probably five 253 00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:39,200 times just yesterday and it still keeps popping up. 254 00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:42,400 Just so you guys know, that particular person who's 255 00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:45,840 spreading all the negativity in videos and stuff all over 256 00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:50,200 Facebook was the first person whenever VMP was supposedly 257 00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:54,240 going to be sold to Darrell Cuddle originally for IHRA. 258 00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:56,960 He was the first person to start putting all this out and say how 259 00:15:56,960 --> 00:16:00,280 great it was and how it was going to take down NHRA and how 260 00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:03,840 NHRA sucks and all this stuff. He was saying all that stuff. 261 00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:08,000 He was all about IHRA and now he's all anti IHRA like it never 262 00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:10,040 happened. So just so you know, every time 263 00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:14,160 you comment to tell him he's an idiot or or you click thumbs 264 00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:18,080 down or the mad sign or whatever you want to do on Facebook, that 265 00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:20,320 dude's got a big enough page. You're making him a bunch of 266 00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:22,960 money. So if you really don't agree 267 00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:26,360 with what he's saying, just don't follow it or don't comment 268 00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:28,600 or whatever because it's just it's ridiculous, man. 269 00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:32,000 But that is not that is not helping the sport to just 270 00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:36,720 constantly like he's doing it. He's like the TMZ of. 271 00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:39,440 Racing. Of drag racing, racing in 272 00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:41,400 general, really, I mean, it's. Crazy. 273 00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:45,400 That's a great way to put it to Casey and I'm I'm looking at 274 00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:49,800 looks like it's chat a 75 over here in the YouTube side of 275 00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:54,720 things. He's saying he was all for IHRA 276 00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:58,280 when the checks were cashing. Now not so much. 277 00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:01,360 Yeah, I think we had a show a few weeks back, Casey, if I can 278 00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:05,599 be honest, where we said if we know of anybody or there's 279 00:17:05,599 --> 00:17:09,000 somebody out there who has checks that haven't cleared by 280 00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:12,480 anybody that there should be a Facebook page or, or something 281 00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:17,280 that says, you know, my checks not clearing in the sport of 282 00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:19,640 drag racing. And I'm I'm I'm not going to 283 00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:23,440 just say bracket racing because I feel like this would impact 284 00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:27,760 any, any, any level of drag racing that we're doing from 285 00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:31,320 pros to no, perhaps to to grudge to whatever. 286 00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:34,880 If you're going to a promoted event and the promoters checks 287 00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:39,560 cash or a sanctioning bodies checks cash, you're going to 288 00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:42,920 report positive. But if they don't cash, you need 289 00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:46,360 a place to report negative. And I did see a Facebook page of 290 00:17:46,360 --> 00:17:49,560 people that was created that said this was actually happened. 291 00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:51,760 It's not something that I'll ever stand behind. 292 00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:54,720 You know what I mean? As far As for what could hurt 293 00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:59,080 our sport the most, having a racer put so much into showing 294 00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:03,560 up to the race, putting so much into the race car tires, family, 295 00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:06,680 being away from family lacked whatever the case may be. 296 00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:11,040 And then not paying them for that, that that is detrimental 297 00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:14,480 to the sport that we love. So call it out as you see it 298 00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:17,720 and, and, and understand it. Now, I'm never going to condone 299 00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:20,200 that. Regardless of what I say after 300 00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:26,240 this statement with hopes of making things better in any 301 00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:28,680 sport. Number one, you got to go back 302 00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:32,040 to pay your bills either way you look at it, but #2 it's going to 303 00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:35,600 be real hard for you to gain back any type of trust after 304 00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:37,960 something like that. At least for the racers who have 305 00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:40,680 already been impacted and those of us who have been able to see 306 00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:43,800 it on on Facebook. You got a long road ahead of you 307 00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:46,440 to to mend that. So you know that that that's 308 00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:51,080 going to be tough. Right, Dylan Champion, I need to 309 00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:53,800 turn this screen on. This it's all, everything's all 310 00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:55,960 over the place, anywhere. So that's why I keep looking 311 00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:57,680 over here because it's where Chad is for me. 312 00:18:58,840 --> 00:19:01,520 The fear of the unknown has a lot of people mad because he 313 00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:04,320 went in over his head and bought half of drag racing. 314 00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:06,040 It feels like. I I agree with that. 315 00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:10,200 I mean, it sucks out here like Piedmont dragway, for example, 316 00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:16,320 is is you know nothing now the the intention was to turn it 317 00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:20,080 into Galat 2 point O basically. That being said, at the same 318 00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:24,080 time, Galat still operating, everything's as it always was. 319 00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:26,320 If it didn't, if it wasn't painted green and didn't have 320 00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:28,600 those logos up, nobody would even know any of this has 321 00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:32,440 happened. Also, I wanted to get in that 322 00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:35,520 whole AI data center thing because I've never had this 323 00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:37,960 happen before. I've had a lot of people say 324 00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:41,800 that stuff that I posted on Facebook on our pages is dumb 325 00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:44,200 or, or, but I don't know what I'm talking about or whatever. 326 00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:49,720 And that may very well be true sometimes, but I had two, I had 327 00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:52,520 people in the same post arguing that they're all going to turn 328 00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:55,040 to data centers and that nothing's going to turn to data 329 00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:59,360 centers at the same time are and I was stupid either way. 330 00:19:59,360 --> 00:20:01,120 I was like, well, that's interesting. 331 00:20:01,120 --> 00:20:02,560 So I'm not on anybody's team, I guess. 332 00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:06,680 But but the whole data center argument, there were a ton of 333 00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:09,280 people in that same post. I think there's like, oh, 334 00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:14,040 there's 260 something or 280 something comments or whatever, 335 00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:16,960 but there were a lot of people in that post that said. 336 00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:22,280 You know, not necessarily the all of them, but the majority of 337 00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:24,760 those tracks were owner financed. 338 00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:28,040 Well, if their owner financed, then what are we really worried 339 00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:29,560 about? Because ultimately they'll just 340 00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:32,240 repossess the tracks. So they got paid for however 341 00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:35,840 long they got paid until it started missing payments and 342 00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:39,720 they just repossessed the track in probably a little bit better 343 00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:43,160 or at least equivalent shape to what it was have a little money 344 00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:46,600 in their pocket and you know, business as usual. 345 00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:52,640 I'm, I'm fairly certain I looked at all the GIS stuff myself and 346 00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:58,160 VMP was never did it. It had AVMP had an appraisal 347 00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:00,720 done. It said in in 2026. 348 00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:02,720 I don't know. I don't know if it said a month 349 00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:05,320 that for some reason I want to say February or something, but I 350 00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:08,480 don't know. But but it is held by Franklin 351 00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:10,880 Real Estate Holdings or something like that, as in Tommy 352 00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:15,520 Franklin who owned VMP always. So that never transferred 353 00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:18,400 ownership as far as that is. I mean, it could not be up to 354 00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:19,680 date. That's government stuff. 355 00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:22,760 So it might not be up to date. But I'm just saying if you go 356 00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:27,600 look right now, as of two weeks ago, whenever I checked it out, 357 00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:30,800 it said Franklin Real Estate Holdings or Franklin Holding 358 00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:33,880 something that insinuated Tommy Franklin still owns this place. 359 00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:37,680 So we don't have to worry about that place, at least now I 360 00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:40,600 looked at the same thing for Galat and it has a different 361 00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:43,880 name now. So I do believe that Darrell 362 00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:47,880 Cottle owns the lot. However, the lot has had no 363 00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:51,760 issues paying their racers. They have had, you know, so 364 00:21:51,760 --> 00:21:54,400 that's odd. You know, it's, it's weird that 365 00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:58,640 it's, that's the most business as usual track that there has 366 00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:01,920 been. But to, to your point, however, 367 00:22:02,120 --> 00:22:06,000 Gilad has always had the persona of a successful racetrack. 368 00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:11,320 It, it doesn't carry the, it, it's, you know, it, it's a 369 00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:15,040 successful place. So I think it may be exempt from 370 00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:17,480 some of this conversation to some extent. 371 00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:20,600 I'm going to pull Jim Davis's comment because I kind of like 372 00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:23,160 where he's going here. I think Casey, we might be able 373 00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:25,280 to shed a little light on his comment as well. 374 00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:28,000 He's basically asking hopefully I'm not going in and out. 375 00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:30,480 Hopefully you can hear me OK, But I hear you. 376 00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:34,400 He's basically asking over here. He says on the Facebook side, he 377 00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:40,640 says how can someone be so successful prior in his business 378 00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:45,920 not being able to successfully run this basically saying he's 379 00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:49,400 had successful business endeavors prior to coming and 380 00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:52,480 grabbing the eye tray. And this is something that I'm 381 00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:56,120 glad you asked Jim, because there's there's the rumor mill 382 00:22:56,120 --> 00:22:59,360 that is also ticking. Again, there's more than meets 383 00:22:59,360 --> 00:23:01,960 the eye to what happened here is what I what I consider. 384 00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:06,920 But we all know based on seeing that little X on Cuddle and 385 00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:12,920 Ihra's blue shirts that somehow IHRA was tied to Elon Musk. 386 00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:17,680 Everybody knows this or at least has some form of an opinion on 387 00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:24,520 this particular subject. What I would also say, I think 388 00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:28,840 everybody knows is that Elon may have stopped paying Cuddle for a 389 00:23:28,840 --> 00:23:33,640 substantial amount of money that he's owed on jobs that he 390 00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:38,160 completed for Elon or lack thereof or or some type of 391 00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:40,600 contracting happened to where Elon says I'm not paying you 392 00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:42,320 anymore. Whatever the case may be, I 393 00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:46,240 don't, I don't really care. But if somebody owes you a 394 00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:50,080 substantial sum of money and you're relying on those payments 395 00:23:50,360 --> 00:23:55,200 in order to run a business, and those payments stop as large as 396 00:23:55,200 --> 00:24:00,440 they are, you could see how easily IHRA would be a failure 397 00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:02,080 in a sense. As what? 398 00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:06,600 At the same time, you could say you did a bad job, Mr. Cuddle, 399 00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:09,720 of putting the cart in front of the horse. 400 00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:12,400 All right. You, you, you have a great plan 401 00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:16,720 here, but you don't quite have the complete capital to 402 00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:19,880 successfully make your plan work. 403 00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:21,760 That's what I see. Casey, what do you think on 404 00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:25,360 that? Yeah, man, I mean, ultimately 405 00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:29,560 the, it's just like whenever we were talking a couple days ago, 406 00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:34,880 man, it's, it's like we always say here on this show, you know, 407 00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:37,320 this is all just opinions like everybody else. 408 00:24:37,320 --> 00:24:41,240 No one knows, You know, the only person that knows any of this as 409 00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:44,560 far as the truth, the real truth is Darryl Cuddle. 410 00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:48,040 I mean, he's the only one that knows and ultimately I keep 411 00:24:48,040 --> 00:24:52,360 hitting my microphone here. But but it's just like you said, 412 00:24:52,360 --> 00:24:54,440 man. I mean, nobody, nobody knows 413 00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:55,840 what's going on. There's so many rumors out 414 00:24:55,840 --> 00:24:57,720 there. I don't even know if anybody 415 00:24:57,840 --> 00:25:00,640 knows the real truth anymore. It's so messed up. 416 00:25:01,080 --> 00:25:04,920 You know, it's like other things we've had happen in recent past 417 00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:10,160 where, you know, people have made so much stuff up that no 418 00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:11,680 one knows what the truth is anymore. 419 00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:14,520 It gets lost in in translation. So. 420 00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:17,240 Easily something that happens in real life as well. 421 00:25:17,680 --> 00:25:19,880 This is real life. So I mean, if you turn on the 422 00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:22,760 news and watch one station, it's going to say something different 423 00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:26,160 than the other. It will it works the same on 424 00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:29,280 social media because as you mentioned, the guy who's putting 425 00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:32,160 out all the negative and how I sure it was the best and all of 426 00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:35,320 a sudden, well, I heard he got banned from my HRA and also 427 00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:39,080 heard he was banned from NHRA. So who is this person to drag 428 00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:43,080 racing that continues to get banned from drag racing that 429 00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:47,240 everybody seems to be quoting and watching and liking and 430 00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:52,400 helping to be successful at putting a negative look at on my 431 00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:57,080 sport hour? How difficult does it, like how 432 00:25:57,080 --> 00:26:00,400 hard do you really have to work to get banned from a drag strip, 433 00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:02,520 dude? Like over all these years that 434 00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:06,400 we've been at race tracks, we've seen some crazy stuff and people 435 00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:08,880 do not get banned. Dude, there was a there was a 436 00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:14,240 guy that last year Champs. If he's still in the chat, don't 437 00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:17,320 say who it was, but he'll know what I'm talking about. 438 00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:21,720 Somebody almost got stabbed or something a couple years ago and 439 00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:24,320 didn't get banned. Like literally somebody had a 440 00:26:24,320 --> 00:26:27,960 knife supposedly from what I heard and and nobody got banned. 441 00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:31,560 So it's like it is so hard to get banned from a drag racing 442 00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:35,960 facility If if you can make it happen, you might be the only 443 00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:38,080 one. Right, so I'm going to take 444 00:26:38,080 --> 00:26:40,520 another one as we go. You know we we over here at 445 00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:43,960 going bracket racing, we do follow quite a few different 446 00:26:44,160 --> 00:26:46,920 YouTube channels. So if you hear that little Doo 447 00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:50,880 Doo, somebody went live on YouTube and I haven't turned off 448 00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:53,160 notifications yet. But at any rate, I like what 449 00:26:53,160 --> 00:26:57,240 Andrew thinks. I don't know how to say your 450 00:26:57,240 --> 00:26:59,320 last name, Andrew. I think it's stark, but I don't 451 00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:01,520 know. Andrew saying it is simple. 452 00:27:01,520 --> 00:27:04,320 Durano hybrid build stuff for Elon's building. 453 00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:10,760 Building stuff for Elon's company was very profitable. 454 00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:15,000 Profitable means expendable money to to do IHRA stuff. 455 00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:21,400 Elon's company management stopped production of Durana 456 00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:24,760 hybrid projects. Money stops money fundings. 457 00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:29,560 IHRA stops IHRA stops. The IHRA, as pointed out by West 458 00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:33,960 Buck, had no operating model that made sense in real in the 459 00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:38,240 real world of Motorsports. Thus the second the tap was shut 460 00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:41,080 off, it had no way of sustaining itself. 461 00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:43,320 And Andrew, I agree with the majority of what you said, 462 00:27:43,320 --> 00:27:46,280 right. But when you got millions upon 463 00:27:46,280 --> 00:27:49,840 millions and hundreds of millions of dollars at that, at 464 00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:54,760 your at your at your disposal, or at least the, the, the 465 00:27:54,760 --> 00:27:59,360 payment on that large of a sum of money coming into your bank 466 00:27:59,360 --> 00:28:02,520 account, you don't need a operating model. 467 00:28:02,520 --> 00:28:04,640 The money is your operating model. 468 00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:07,680 And once the money stops, so did your operating model. 469 00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:11,800 So I don't it makes sense where you're coming from in a, in a, 470 00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:18,280 in a, in a less than 100, over $100 million business or, or or 471 00:28:18,280 --> 00:28:20,560 under that, I should say, but not over it. 472 00:28:20,560 --> 00:28:23,480 There should be some form of a model when you're over it. 473 00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:27,120 Moreover, if you're making that kind of money, you need several 474 00:28:27,120 --> 00:28:30,720 types of write offs to keep from paying so much money back to 475 00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:34,080 IRA. Listen, I I get what you're 476 00:28:34,080 --> 00:28:36,200 saying and there's many reasons to do it. 477 00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:40,080 The way Darrell Cuddle was doing it, was it smart? 478 00:28:40,920 --> 00:28:42,600 It it was the cart in front of the horse? 479 00:28:42,600 --> 00:28:45,160 Yes, it was to me. You should at least have enough 480 00:28:45,160 --> 00:28:48,640 money on hand to pay for whatever you're trying to get in 481 00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:50,200 case something like this happens. 482 00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:55,720 That way you can reach into say oh crap fun, then switch the 483 00:28:55,720 --> 00:28:57,200 four letter word if you would like to. 484 00:28:57,200 --> 00:29:00,160 I'm just going to say crap to keep it PG right. 485 00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:04,600 So I get what you're saying in a sense, in, in, in on one hand. 486 00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:09,080 And on the other hand, it's like if I had a billion dollars, I'm 487 00:29:09,080 --> 00:29:11,040 not going to run on the operating model either except 488 00:29:11,040 --> 00:29:13,560 for the almighty dollar. Almighty dollar, That's my 489 00:29:13,560 --> 00:29:16,200 model. Casey any add any addition? 490 00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:21,560 I kind of almost wonder if this is Keith Haney because it says 491 00:29:21,560 --> 00:29:24,800 you know my name and I can't. I that's the only person I know 492 00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:28,600 that's that you know my name. But it says over here in the 493 00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:30,880 YouTube chat, we'll never know what really went down. 494 00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:33,880 I feel for the racers. They put they put it all on the 495 00:29:33,880 --> 00:29:38,200 line and got dumped. And all that was said by IATRE 496 00:29:38,200 --> 00:29:43,240 is we know now. Oh, as we know now is what he 497 00:29:43,240 --> 00:29:45,480 meant was just all propaganda. Yeah. 498 00:29:45,480 --> 00:29:48,200 I mean, it's it's it's hard, man. 499 00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:51,080 It's things all get lost in translation. 500 00:29:51,080 --> 00:29:53,880 I mean, ultimately it's I'm definitely not defending the 501 00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:55,320 guy. Anytime that you owe people 502 00:29:55,320 --> 00:29:59,040 money, I'm the first person that like I, I pay someone else, you 503 00:29:59,040 --> 00:30:04,840 know, they're like my, my debts come before I, I don't even know 504 00:30:04,840 --> 00:30:07,680 how to say that. But the point is, is I'll go in 505 00:30:07,680 --> 00:30:11,560 the hole before someone else will that I owe money because 506 00:30:11,560 --> 00:30:15,160 that's just that's how I was brought up to to beat it's. 507 00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:16,840 I don't want to moment over my head either. 508 00:30:17,040 --> 00:30:21,040 Yep, not over my head. Yeah, so I'm not going to use 509 00:30:21,040 --> 00:30:23,960 anybody else's pain to make my life better. 510 00:30:26,320 --> 00:30:29,240 But the fact of the matter is, is that, you know, everybody's 511 00:30:29,240 --> 00:30:32,360 saying, you know, this could come back this that, you know, 512 00:30:32,440 --> 00:30:34,680 and the other, I don't know, man. 513 00:30:34,680 --> 00:30:39,040 I mean, it's at this point, I don't know if HRA could come 514 00:30:39,040 --> 00:30:41,080 back period. No matter who owned it. 515 00:30:41,080 --> 00:30:44,280 The I feel like the only person who could legitimately bring it 516 00:30:44,280 --> 00:30:48,240 back with the name and all would be like Bill Bader. 517 00:30:48,320 --> 00:30:52,480 And I'm pretty sure that he already has been, has already 518 00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:53,960 said that he wasn't going to buy it. 519 00:30:53,960 --> 00:30:56,480 I don't know that he would have the the kind of money it would 520 00:30:56,480 --> 00:31:01,360 take to do that. But the fact of the matter is, 521 00:31:01,360 --> 00:31:05,560 is that I just feel like if I had the money right now and I 522 00:31:05,560 --> 00:31:08,840 was looking to buy a racing series, I think you'd be better 523 00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:11,200 off just starting and starting from scratch. 524 00:31:11,200 --> 00:31:15,160 Something that has no negative with it, like has like because 525 00:31:15,160 --> 00:31:18,240 what what really, if you're going to lay that kind of money 526 00:31:18,240 --> 00:31:20,800 out there and you're not going to just get a heavy discount, 527 00:31:21,720 --> 00:31:24,480 why wouldn't you just start a brand new organization? 528 00:31:24,480 --> 00:31:27,080 Because if you got to buy all that stuff that it takes to run 529 00:31:27,080 --> 00:31:31,400 it anyway, then why wouldn't you just buy your own stuff? 530 00:31:31,480 --> 00:31:34,640 If and even if you're getting it heavily discounted, Kill the 531 00:31:34,640 --> 00:31:38,720 name and buy something else. Yeah, well, at least at least 532 00:31:38,720 --> 00:31:40,640 kill the name because I'm going to be honest with you. 533 00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:45,920 And at this point, 41 years old, I don't really know how many 534 00:31:45,920 --> 00:31:48,480 hands. I feel like it's five at this 535 00:31:48,480 --> 00:31:51,360 point. That name needs to. 536 00:31:51,360 --> 00:31:53,640 Go in the last like 3 years right? 537 00:31:53,640 --> 00:31:56,280 You know so. Something something's wrong with 538 00:31:56,280 --> 00:32:01,960 the name, obviously. I know, I mean, we've, we've had 539 00:32:01,960 --> 00:32:06,800 all of we've had all of the people who have been top 540 00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:11,400 management or owners or whatever of the IHRA on here at some 541 00:32:11,400 --> 00:32:16,360 point until recent times. They've they've all been on here 542 00:32:16,360 --> 00:32:18,040 like since Jeffers brought it back. 543 00:32:18,400 --> 00:32:21,120 So so I got. To I got to I got to chime in, 544 00:32:21,120 --> 00:32:24,960 man, we got something that's never really happened over here 545 00:32:24,960 --> 00:32:30,240 at going bracket racing. My my Facebook live feed just 546 00:32:30,760 --> 00:32:34,720 got got taken down. Interesting, right? 547 00:32:34,720 --> 00:32:37,320 Maybe we're we're we're pulling on strings, you think? 548 00:32:38,560 --> 00:32:40,280 I don't know, I think. It's maybe we got, maybe we got 549 00:32:40,280 --> 00:32:43,680 reported. Possibly that's that is a 550 00:32:43,680 --> 00:32:45,720 possibility the first time for everything. 551 00:32:45,720 --> 00:32:47,280 I don't know. Maybe we have in the past. 552 00:32:47,280 --> 00:32:51,400 I don't know, champ, I don't know why you keep texting me. 553 00:32:51,440 --> 00:32:52,880 Why don't you just put it in the chat? 554 00:32:53,000 --> 00:32:56,160 He's he's texting me things that he could put in the in the chat 555 00:32:56,160 --> 00:32:59,360 in YouTube. But I guess all the Facebook 556 00:32:59,360 --> 00:33:01,360 people must have figured out we're over here on YouTube 557 00:33:01,360 --> 00:33:03,480 because now all of a sudden the YouTube feed has spiked 558 00:33:03,480 --> 00:33:07,520 significantly. Racer VX over here. 559 00:33:08,240 --> 00:33:09,880 Richard Freeman would have been a win. 560 00:33:10,960 --> 00:33:13,000 I don't I don't disagree with that. 561 00:33:13,640 --> 00:33:19,800 The thing I wonder about Freeman buying it is why, I guess unless 562 00:33:19,800 --> 00:33:23,480 he was just going to get it for a song or something and and 563 00:33:23,680 --> 00:33:25,520 either resell it or turn it into something. 564 00:33:25,520 --> 00:33:30,480 But it's like he's already kind of monopolized a lot of like 565 00:33:30,480 --> 00:33:37,560 definitely pro stock mostly. But and yes, I do know the 566 00:33:37,560 --> 00:33:40,280 definition of a monopoly. I know he's not the one there. 567 00:33:40,280 --> 00:33:43,160 I have a degree in economics, finance guys, so don't get on me 568 00:33:43,160 --> 00:33:47,960 about that of all things. But the fact is, is that he's 569 00:33:47,960 --> 00:33:52,400 already got pro Stock handled. He's working on the fuel stuff 570 00:33:52,400 --> 00:33:56,200 now. So like, what would I, Taray 571 00:33:56,200 --> 00:33:58,600 have been had he got it? Would it just be the Elite 572 00:33:58,600 --> 00:34:01,920 Motorsports rental series? You know, like what would it 573 00:34:01,920 --> 00:34:03,280 have been? Yeah, Yeah. 574 00:34:03,440 --> 00:34:07,680 That's a great question too. And I'm, I'm, I think that maybe 575 00:34:07,680 --> 00:34:10,080 it would be fine. It would be another period of 576 00:34:10,080 --> 00:34:11,719 time where we would learn from something. 577 00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:16,080 We would learn something new just like we are right now about 578 00:34:16,320 --> 00:34:18,440 how he would run it. Would it be good? 579 00:34:18,480 --> 00:34:20,320 Well, there's a good chance. Would it be bad? 580 00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:26,800 There's a good chance it's IHRA. We haven't seen a good IHRA in a 581 00:34:26,800 --> 00:34:30,000 long time. Like what Cuddle was doing. 582 00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:33,840 And if, let's be honest, if the if the flow of money hadn't have 583 00:34:33,840 --> 00:34:38,480 stopped, we would not be here in this position with IHRA and 584 00:34:38,480 --> 00:34:41,040 Darrell Cuddle in the 1st place. I got to throw that out there 585 00:34:41,360 --> 00:34:46,880 because what I saw was turning into a really, really, really 586 00:34:46,880 --> 00:34:53,199 good situation quickly. Pro mods showing up out 587 00:34:53,199 --> 00:34:56,440 everywhere, Top Fuel dragsters showing up, Funny cars. 588 00:34:56,639 --> 00:35:00,160 We weren't filling the the classes quite yet, but we were 589 00:35:00,160 --> 00:35:05,480 competing live stream being top notch, top tier. 590 00:35:05,920 --> 00:35:09,840 Best live stream? There were a lot of things that 591 00:35:09,840 --> 00:35:15,240 were beginning to turn positive and then all of a sudden this 592 00:35:15,240 --> 00:35:19,200 started to happen. So it is a very easy situation. 593 00:35:19,200 --> 00:35:21,800 Like I saw Michael Beard mentioned on the Facebook before 594 00:35:21,800 --> 00:35:25,760 we went down and Andrew Strink it was. 595 00:35:25,760 --> 00:35:30,200 It's easy to see that the flow of money stopped and that's what 596 00:35:30,200 --> 00:35:33,240 caused this. So, but do I think that Freeman 597 00:35:33,240 --> 00:35:36,200 would be a, a, a good person to have picked it up? 598 00:35:36,720 --> 00:35:39,720 Well, I think it wouldn't would have been another another. 599 00:35:39,760 --> 00:35:43,760 Let's find out because I think somebody better after we come 600 00:35:43,760 --> 00:35:47,680 back from commercial break. Casey, you and I have a a shared 601 00:35:47,680 --> 00:35:52,040 thought process on what we thought if this did happen, 602 00:35:52,040 --> 00:35:54,600 could be pretty good too. Don't go anywhere guys. 603 00:35:54,600 --> 00:35:57,760 We're going to come back with more right here on this episode 604 00:35:57,760 --> 00:36:00,240 of Going Bracket Racing. Keep that, keep the chats going. 605 00:36:00,240 --> 00:36:01,880 We're watching. Be right back. 606 00:36:02,560 --> 00:36:08,680 Peace. Here's the skinny on the Pro 607 00:36:08,680 --> 00:36:12,240 Form Slim Fit Radiator Systems. They are the industry's first 608 00:36:12,320 --> 00:36:14,800 and only four inch thick radiator system. 609 00:36:14,840 --> 00:36:17,680 That's the radiator plus the shroud plus the fan. 610 00:36:17,720 --> 00:36:21,840 Combined, a complete unit that's up to 40% thinner than others on 611 00:36:21,840 --> 00:36:25,160 the market, fully assembled for performance out-of-the-box. 612 00:36:25,440 --> 00:36:27,920 Eliminate the stress and frustration that comes as 613 00:36:27,920 --> 00:36:31,200 precious weekend hours are lost trying to upgrade your cooling 614 00:36:31,200 --> 00:36:33,360 system with major space constraints. 615 00:36:33,920 --> 00:36:37,480 The Slim Fit system utilizes 2 patented pieces of technology 616 00:36:37,640 --> 00:36:41,160 allowing for a seamlessly integrated radiator system with 617 00:36:41,160 --> 00:36:43,640 a third tank in the center of the radiator where the high 618 00:36:43,640 --> 00:36:47,720 performance fan motors installed inside the core not hanging off 619 00:36:47,720 --> 00:36:50,320 the shroud. The coolant can flow all the way 620 00:36:50,320 --> 00:36:53,240 through the radiator, eliminating Dead Space, and it 621 00:36:53,240 --> 00:36:55,120 looks especially great under the hood. 622 00:36:55,520 --> 00:36:58,520 Sleek angles, eye-catching perforations and a smooth 623 00:36:58,520 --> 00:37:02,000 aluminum shroud complete the streamlined 4 corner design that 624 00:37:02,000 --> 00:37:05,120 defines style and a well put together engine Bay. 625 00:37:15,530 --> 00:37:18,930 All right, welcome back to the show episode 242. 626 00:37:18,930 --> 00:37:23,130 I do believe be going bracket racing live podcast. 627 00:37:23,370 --> 00:37:26,210 Thank you to the GBR community.

My cell phone number is 647 00:38:29,680 --> 00:38:34,760 281-330-8004. Mike Jones No, I don't know. 648 00:38:35,560 --> 00:38:37,120 I think that was the number. Is that it? 649 00:38:37,120 --> 00:38:38,880 Casey? I used to be able to call that 650 00:38:38,880 --> 00:38:45,360 thing out, but showing my. Jeremiah saying Jeremiah Hall 651 00:38:45,480 --> 00:38:48,280 EHRA is an elite hot rod association. 652 00:38:48,280 --> 00:38:51,720 Yeah, it's probably right. Wouldn't be that, but back to 653 00:38:51,720 --> 00:38:54,120 what we were talking about and thanks for getting us back into 654 00:38:54,120 --> 00:38:58,240 it there, Casey. If Elite did buy it, I think Wes 655 00:38:58,240 --> 00:39:00,120 Buck would run it. What do you think? 656 00:39:01,480 --> 00:39:04,400 Oh for sure man. I mean, you can't argue with 657 00:39:04,400 --> 00:39:05,880 what he's done with the winter series. 658 00:39:06,120 --> 00:39:10,200 I mean, what the dudes done with the winter series is epic. 659 00:39:10,200 --> 00:39:13,880 I mean, and it and it was a huge hole that needed filling and he 660 00:39:13,880 --> 00:39:17,520 did a good job of doing it. So I mean, I assume that's why 661 00:39:17,520 --> 00:39:20,760 he went with him because Richard probably said, if I buy this, 662 00:39:20,760 --> 00:39:23,720 you got to run it for me because he doesn't have time to do that. 663 00:39:23,720 --> 00:39:27,200 I mean, somehow he's got, I mean, even if he doesn't 664 00:39:27,200 --> 00:39:30,960 necessarily have to work whatever it is he owns that 665 00:39:30,960 --> 00:39:32,560 makes him all that money anymore. 666 00:39:33,080 --> 00:39:34,800 Dude, he's got like 5 pro stock cars. 667 00:39:34,800 --> 00:39:37,680 They all have sponsors on them. They all have teams to manage. 668 00:39:37,680 --> 00:39:40,160 Like that dude's got a job in that stuff. 669 00:39:40,160 --> 00:39:44,120 I can't imagine he would run a racing pro or a racing series 670 00:39:44,120 --> 00:39:47,560 too. Because we were talking about 671 00:39:47,560 --> 00:39:51,680 the the live feed or whatever and one OS shows he said that's 672 00:39:51,680 --> 00:39:56,240 like a $250,000 live feed to do it, you know, and nobody could 673 00:39:56,240 --> 00:39:59,320 pay for it blah blah blah. It's like I'm sitting here as 674 00:39:59,320 --> 00:40:01,680 soon as I heard that I was kind of like, I don't know, man, 675 00:40:01,680 --> 00:40:05,400 because if that you know, something with fuel this this is 676 00:40:05,400 --> 00:40:09,520 possible something that has top fuel dragsters and and top fuel 677 00:40:09,520 --> 00:40:14,000 Harleys and top fuel everything Funny cars, you know, fuel 678 00:40:14,000 --> 00:40:16,400 altered. All this stuff has the 679 00:40:16,400 --> 00:40:19,880 possibility of getting a big headline sponsor for the 680 00:40:19,880 --> 00:40:22,440 organization. I mean, I don't know how the 681 00:40:22,440 --> 00:40:25,320 money works but like. How much does Mission Foods pay 682 00:40:25,320 --> 00:40:29,120 NHRA to be their title sponsor, you know, for, for that stuff? 683 00:40:29,120 --> 00:40:31,800 I mean, that's, that's a ton of money, man. 684 00:40:31,800 --> 00:40:35,360 Like how much, how much back in the day did Winston pay to, to 685 00:40:35,520 --> 00:40:39,160 sponsor the whole NASCAR series and the whole drag racing series 686 00:40:39,160 --> 00:40:40,840 and all that? That's hundreds of millions of 687 00:40:40,840 --> 00:40:42,720 dollars, man. When you're talking hundreds of 688 00:40:42,720 --> 00:40:46,160 millions of dollars, $250,000, you know. 689 00:40:46,520 --> 00:40:48,680 For 8. Times a year that that's not a 690 00:40:48,680 --> 00:40:50,640 lot of money, 810 times a year. Right. 691 00:40:50,880 --> 00:40:54,640 And at the same time, what's what's NHA Pang Fox? 692 00:40:54,720 --> 00:40:57,320 I mean it was still a live stream either way you look at 693 00:40:57,320 --> 00:40:59,280 it. It's just broadcast to national 694 00:40:59,280 --> 00:41:03,600 TV, which would cost even more, right, because we're coming to 695 00:41:03,640 --> 00:41:08,320 to YouTube. So where 250,000 seems like it 696 00:41:08,400 --> 00:41:13,280 it it's fairly substantial. It would be, you know, not 697 00:41:13,280 --> 00:41:16,960 necessarily in Cuddles position because he was making so much in 698 00:41:16,960 --> 00:41:21,240 in the beginning, but that's what a major sponsor, as Casey 699 00:41:21,240 --> 00:41:23,840 was saying would would mitigate that cost you. 700 00:41:23,840 --> 00:41:25,720 Know right, and we're not defending this guy. 701 00:41:25,720 --> 00:41:28,840 Again, I hate that we have to keep saying that, but we have to 702 00:41:28,840 --> 00:41:30,400 because otherwise people are going to take this out of 703 00:41:30,400 --> 00:41:32,920 context. I'm just trying to say and what 704 00:41:32,920 --> 00:41:37,160 we're just trying to say, it is possible if it's done correctly. 705 00:41:37,160 --> 00:41:40,880 This clearly was not done correctly, but it is possible to 706 00:41:40,880 --> 00:41:44,360 have that level of feed and have it be free and all of this stuff 707 00:41:44,760 --> 00:41:49,440 if you get the right sponsors involved in NHRA shows that that 708 00:41:49,440 --> 00:41:51,440 is possible. Yeah, I also think what the 709 00:41:51,440 --> 00:41:54,400 sarge is saying here is pretty, pretty responsible as well. 710 00:41:54,840 --> 00:41:57,560 He's saying make sure you hire the right people to run the son 711 00:41:57,560 --> 00:42:01,400 of a gun, OK. And that's that's a that's a 712 00:42:02,200 --> 00:42:05,200 that's probably the most important piece of this thing, 713 00:42:05,200 --> 00:42:08,480 if you want me to be honest. Someone should have said to Mr. 714 00:42:08,520 --> 00:42:12,240 Hey, Sir, we understand that you have big aspirations and dreams 715 00:42:12,240 --> 00:42:15,320 and what you're trying to do here, you put some irons to the 716 00:42:15,320 --> 00:42:17,840 fire, put some fuelers out there, but you're jumping in a 717 00:42:17,840 --> 00:42:20,440 little too deep. The water's going to get muddy 718 00:42:20,440 --> 00:42:22,680 really, really fast. And it's if it turns into 719 00:42:22,680 --> 00:42:24,120 quicksand, you're going to start sinking. 720 00:42:24,120 --> 00:42:27,360 And, and that's what we watched happen. 721 00:42:27,440 --> 00:42:30,680 So what did we learn from that, which is the title of this whole 722 00:42:30,680 --> 00:42:34,160 show in the 1st place? Did we learn anything? 723 00:42:34,400 --> 00:42:36,240 Well, you jumped in a little deep. 724 00:42:37,200 --> 00:42:41,360 You put you put your cart before in front of your horse and the 725 00:42:41,360 --> 00:42:46,160 well got ran dry. You know, if you come back, you 726 00:42:46,160 --> 00:42:49,160 better not do the same thing. Be a little be a little bit 727 00:42:49,160 --> 00:42:52,400 smarter, maybe get all your money from Elon Musk upfront and 728 00:42:52,400 --> 00:42:55,800 then come, you know what I mean? I but we have to learn 729 00:42:55,800 --> 00:42:57,880 something. And then one thing I really hope 730 00:42:57,880 --> 00:43:00,960 we've learned as a community is to knock off all the negativity 731 00:43:01,440 --> 00:43:04,840 and I'm in across the board, not just from the consumer of drag 732 00:43:04,840 --> 00:43:08,320 racing, being the racer us. Hello, those people who love 733 00:43:08,320 --> 00:43:11,840 drag racing. I mean, the said the the the 734 00:43:11,840 --> 00:43:16,400 journalist, the Facebook pages. Hey, we're go going bracket 735 00:43:16,400 --> 00:43:20,520 racing is a Facebook community. Pump up the sport. 736 00:43:20,520 --> 00:43:26,560 Don't tear it down just because you have a a a a quote UN quote 737 00:43:27,320 --> 00:43:31,040 obligation to someone else that makes you think you need to tear 738 00:43:31,040 --> 00:43:34,120 down a sanctioning body. Yeah, that's. 739 00:43:34,360 --> 00:43:36,720 The more positive we are, the better outcome we should have. 740 00:43:36,720 --> 00:43:39,040 Go ahead, Casey. Yeah, that's really the the 741 00:43:39,040 --> 00:43:43,400 major take away from this entire scenario is that everyone needs 742 00:43:43,400 --> 00:43:46,960 to realize how many people were on one side or the other. 743 00:43:47,200 --> 00:43:49,280 And everybody's saying, oh, no, this was terrible because it 744 00:43:49,280 --> 00:43:52,520 divided everybody. Well, guys, everybody just needs 745 00:43:52,520 --> 00:43:55,400 to get over it and stop holding grudges against everything and 746 00:43:55,400 --> 00:43:57,760 realize this. We've said this since this 747 00:43:57,760 --> 00:44:03,280 show's inception, 242 episodes now, that drag racing is the 748 00:44:03,280 --> 00:44:07,400 easiest thing to get involved with in any sort of Motorsports 749 00:44:07,400 --> 00:44:09,600 because you can literally race your mom's minivan. 750 00:44:09,600 --> 00:44:11,840 If you're a high school kid with a driver's license, you can go 751 00:44:11,840 --> 00:44:13,440 race that. You can't do that in circle 752 00:44:13,440 --> 00:44:16,520 track racing. You can't do that like in demo 753 00:44:16,520 --> 00:44:18,520 derbies, tractor pulling, any of that stuff. 754 00:44:18,520 --> 00:44:22,520 You can't just literally take whatever you got and go like as 755 00:44:22,520 --> 00:44:26,520 it is. The other thing is this, there 756 00:44:26,520 --> 00:44:29,080 are so many people that were on one side or the other. 757 00:44:29,080 --> 00:44:32,800 If everybody just said, hey man, I like drag racing, hey man, I 758 00:44:32,800 --> 00:44:35,960 like drag racing and stop tearing each other down. 759 00:44:35,960 --> 00:44:37,920 We got plenty of people trying to tear us down already. 760 00:44:37,920 --> 00:44:40,560 The facilities are are starting to slowly dwindle away. 761 00:44:40,560 --> 00:44:42,800 Before all this happened, this was already happening. 762 00:44:43,360 --> 00:44:47,800 You know, at the end of the day, if everybody could just go 763 00:44:47,800 --> 00:44:50,800 racing, support racing, talk about racing, like racing, go 764 00:44:50,800 --> 00:44:54,760 watch racing, whatever it is you want to do and stop saying that 765 00:44:54,760 --> 00:44:58,160 type of racing sucks. You know, people say they don't 766 00:44:58,160 --> 00:45:00,800 like no prep stuff, they don't like bracker racing. 767 00:45:00,800 --> 00:45:04,480 They don't like heads up. You know, they don't like back 768 00:45:04,480 --> 00:45:06,200 of the track. They don't like front side. 769 00:45:06,200 --> 00:45:08,880 Like it's like I like everything, man. 770 00:45:09,120 --> 00:45:12,040 I was just watching turbo John. I was texting all my bracker 771 00:45:12,040 --> 00:45:14,200 racing buddies earlier. I said you see turbo John what 772 00:45:14,200 --> 00:45:17,080 410 like that dude's been building stuff up like crazy. 773 00:45:17,440 --> 00:45:18,960 Look what? Look at John Dock. 774 00:45:18,960 --> 00:45:22,240 He was a streetcar guy turned into one of the baddest pro mod 775 00:45:22,240 --> 00:45:27,200 teams, you know, the last two years, you know, like these 776 00:45:27,200 --> 00:45:29,440 people are. I just saw in the chat, I don't 777 00:45:29,440 --> 00:45:34,080 know who said it. Somebody said Brett LaSalle, the 778 00:45:34,080 --> 00:45:37,040 guy that owns that snot rocket car that was like the ultimate 779 00:45:37,040 --> 00:45:39,800 dragon drive car still is. Now he's going to go stick shift 780 00:45:39,800 --> 00:45:42,360 racing. Like it's there's so much cool 781 00:45:42,360 --> 00:45:46,720 stuff happening in the drag racing community that people 782 00:45:46,720 --> 00:45:48,960 have just forgotten how cool it is. 783 00:45:48,960 --> 00:45:52,000 Like I like there was AI feel like there was a stock 784 00:45:52,000 --> 00:45:56,520 Eliminator Dodge Dakota a couple years ago at Andy. 785 00:45:58,880 --> 00:46:01,440 I wish Bohannon was in here because he would know it for 786 00:46:01,440 --> 00:46:05,080 sure. But actually Troy might know it. 787 00:46:05,160 --> 00:46:07,080 Troy Abercrombie's in here somewhere. 788 00:46:08,400 --> 00:46:10,480 He'll look it up for me maybe if he's still in there. 789 00:46:10,480 --> 00:46:13,200 But there was a stock Eliminator Dodge Dakota. 790 00:46:13,200 --> 00:46:15,960 It was like a six cylinder and it qualified #1 because it was 791 00:46:15,960 --> 00:46:18,600 so far under index, like 2 seconds under index of the US 792 00:46:18,600 --> 00:46:21,720 Nationals of all things, where everybody's got like it's balls 793 00:46:21,720 --> 00:46:25,600 out of the US Nationals. And it went like 16 something 794 00:46:25,760 --> 00:46:29,480 like 1670 something like, I think that's cool just because 795 00:46:29,720 --> 00:46:32,960 that's fast for what it is. Like that's just, it's cool. 796 00:46:33,040 --> 00:46:34,280 Like you would never hear of that. 797 00:46:36,400 --> 00:46:40,040 But I think more people need to start understanding that there's 798 00:46:40,040 --> 00:46:42,680 more things cool than just what you think is cool. 799 00:46:42,680 --> 00:46:45,920 And if you open your eyes to other stuff, you might become 800 00:46:45,920 --> 00:46:48,640 more interested in that too. Yeah, that's true. 801 00:46:49,000 --> 00:46:54,200 Yeah, but the moral of the story and of this whole fiasco that 802 00:46:54,200 --> 00:46:57,600 we're going through, not very many people have said anything 803 00:46:57,600 --> 00:46:59,920 positive. There's a lot of negative to 804 00:46:59,920 --> 00:47:02,680 talk about. We already know this, right? 805 00:47:03,120 --> 00:47:05,360 But nobody said anything positive. 806 00:47:05,360 --> 00:47:08,480 Like, what have we learned? Like there's people who work 807 00:47:08,480 --> 00:47:16,920 there to Racer, Racer, racer VX. Your point is, is very valid. 808 00:47:16,920 --> 00:47:20,400 He had people there that would do would have done a great job, 809 00:47:20,400 --> 00:47:23,240 I feel like and he fired them pretty quickly. 810 00:47:23,920 --> 00:47:27,040 But we don't know why those people got fired as well. 811 00:47:27,320 --> 00:47:29,960 That's it's a pot. That's a a very good comment to 812 00:47:29,960 --> 00:47:31,720 make. He's had he went through a lot 813 00:47:31,720 --> 00:47:33,800 of people. What did they do wrong? 814 00:47:34,920 --> 00:47:38,640 Obviously something if he got, if he fired them, something 815 00:47:38,640 --> 00:47:41,120 didn't align with what he wanted to do, Go ahead. 816 00:47:41,120 --> 00:47:44,840 Right. The so Troy said Judy McCormick, 817 00:47:44,840 --> 00:47:48,960 by the way, I knew I knew he'd look appreciate that Troy, but 818 00:47:49,440 --> 00:47:52,000 check out the bracket breakdown. By the way, that's Troy's Troy 819 00:47:52,000 --> 00:47:54,960 and Parker Theobald show, by the way, new, new podcast out there 820 00:47:54,960 --> 00:47:56,800 if you want more of that content anyway. 821 00:47:58,440 --> 00:48:01,640 Yeah, man, that's I think that was the the number one issue. 822 00:48:02,880 --> 00:48:07,360 There was so much turnover and I just can't imagine, you know, at 823 00:48:07,360 --> 00:48:11,280 a certain point I, I told you, I said, this person is the first 824 00:48:11,280 --> 00:48:13,520 person that I think is actually qualified to run the 825 00:48:13,520 --> 00:48:18,720 organization that they're trying to build here that it looked 826 00:48:18,720 --> 00:48:21,400 like on the surface. And then that person got let go 827 00:48:21,400 --> 00:48:23,560 too. And I was like, all of these 828 00:48:23,560 --> 00:48:27,880 people at a certain point, if if you think that everybody in the 829 00:48:27,880 --> 00:48:33,600 room sucks, at a certain point you got to look at yourself and 830 00:48:33,600 --> 00:48:37,160 be like, hey man, how come I don't get along with anybody? 831 00:48:37,760 --> 00:48:40,360 But yet they all get along with other people. 832 00:48:40,680 --> 00:48:42,280 At a certain point, you're the problem. 833 00:48:42,920 --> 00:48:47,560 And I just can't imagine every single one of those people did 834 00:48:47,560 --> 00:48:51,680 something wrong enough to be let go at the rate that they were 835 00:48:51,680 --> 00:48:53,320 let go. That's crazy. 836 00:48:53,600 --> 00:48:55,920 But, and, and I agree, I agree with that too. 837 00:48:55,920 --> 00:48:58,960 And, and not everybody gets along with everybody else. 838 00:48:59,280 --> 00:49:05,720 We all know that Daryl Cuddle had a interesting personality to 839 00:49:05,720 --> 00:49:10,920 say the least, right, So it it probably was pretty hard to do 840 00:49:10,920 --> 00:49:14,600 or to match up with everything that he saw that he wanted to 841 00:49:14,600 --> 00:49:16,160 complete within the organization. 842 00:49:16,960 --> 00:49:18,440 That's that's here nor there right. 843 00:49:19,160 --> 00:49:23,920 I I'm not so sure I would be able to have lasted and that's 844 00:49:23,920 --> 00:49:29,440 just the way it is. So, but anyway, more comments 845 00:49:29,440 --> 00:49:31,880 keep them coming. We got about a good 10 more 846 00:49:31,880 --> 00:49:36,000 minutes left, Casey. What else you got people saying 847 00:49:36,000 --> 00:49:39,080 in here that it's, it's cool that Bader stepped up. 848 00:49:39,080 --> 00:49:41,960 He's he said he's going to, he'll do the bracket finals for 849 00:49:41,960 --> 00:49:47,320 IHRA or whatever, regardless of sanctioning body and all that 850 00:49:47,320 --> 00:49:49,280 stuff. Tom Worthington saying, I'm 851 00:49:49,280 --> 00:49:52,600 wondering, I'm wondering what Bader can actually do, maybe 852 00:49:52,600 --> 00:49:56,160 host a similar event of his own track without calling it IHRA 853 00:49:56,440 --> 00:49:58,280 since his tracks in HRA sanction. 854 00:49:58,600 --> 00:50:01,000 I don't know man. But whatever, whatever Bader 855 00:50:01,160 --> 00:50:05,800 does turns to Goldman that that dude by far is the best promoter 856 00:50:05,800 --> 00:50:09,640 in all of drag racing, possibly the best promoter there's ever 857 00:50:09,640 --> 00:50:14,560 been in drag racing. I mean, they got a dude, They 858 00:50:14,560 --> 00:50:16,760 have a real like, that's a destination. 859 00:50:16,760 --> 00:50:19,480 They have a real Chick-fil-A franchise on site. 860 00:50:19,480 --> 00:50:23,120 I'm pretty sure. Like, I mean, that's The thing 861 00:50:23,120 --> 00:50:26,520 is like people need to make this drag racing stuff more of a 862 00:50:26,520 --> 00:50:29,520 destination, you know, location like you. 863 00:50:29,520 --> 00:50:32,680 And I always said that they should have a sports bar on 864 00:50:32,680 --> 00:50:35,080 site. Like I think Gateway recently 865 00:50:35,080 --> 00:50:37,760 did that. They they if if you had 866 00:50:37,760 --> 00:50:40,280 somewhere where you could like have a bunch of guys go ride 867 00:50:40,280 --> 00:50:43,520 motorcycles out there and watch racing and drink beer and eat 868 00:50:43,520 --> 00:50:47,960 some food just like they would do anyways, then they're going 869 00:50:47,960 --> 00:50:50,880 to come. I mean, and all it is, is a 870 00:50:50,880 --> 00:50:53,280 different area of your concession stand. 871 00:50:53,560 --> 00:50:56,320 Like I'm not, it's, I'm not saying it's easy undertaking. 872 00:50:56,320 --> 00:50:58,520 I'm just saying like you obviously already have a license 873 00:50:58,520 --> 00:51:00,240 to sell food and stuff like that. 874 00:51:00,520 --> 00:51:03,600 So build on the back. Like Rockingham, they have a, 875 00:51:03,640 --> 00:51:07,480 they have a little like I, I, it's not a tiki bar, but I want 876 00:51:07,480 --> 00:51:09,400 to call it like a tiki bar. They got an overhang and 877 00:51:09,400 --> 00:51:12,480 everything where they have a full bar at Rockingham. 878 00:51:12,560 --> 00:51:14,760 Rockingham's awesome, dude. Like man, it's. 879 00:51:15,840 --> 00:51:21,200 It, it, I'm glad that they got like some big time NHRA stuff 880 00:51:21,200 --> 00:51:24,840 going on there because that track, not only is it historic, 881 00:51:24,840 --> 00:51:28,800 not only is it a mile long, like you can go as fast as you want 882 00:51:28,800 --> 00:51:32,120 there, Not only do they keep dumping more and more and more 883 00:51:32,120 --> 00:51:37,320 money into it. It's like we met the whenever Al 884 00:51:37,320 --> 00:51:40,800 and Dan bought the place. We met them at PRI. 885 00:51:41,120 --> 00:51:45,280 They're two of the few people that are literally doing exactly 886 00:51:45,280 --> 00:51:47,280 what they told us they were planning on doing. 887 00:51:47,280 --> 00:51:49,880 And they have stuck to the plan. And all they do is keep making 888 00:51:49,880 --> 00:51:53,040 it better and better and better. And, you know, everybody's 889 00:51:53,040 --> 00:51:54,720 worried about what happens to Galat. 890 00:51:55,320 --> 00:51:57,760 Nobody. This is one of the first times I 891 00:51:57,760 --> 00:52:00,800 always wear a Galat hat. And it has nothing to do with 892 00:52:00,800 --> 00:52:02,400 anything. It's just this hat was in this 893 00:52:02,400 --> 00:52:05,400 room. But I love Galat. 894 00:52:05,400 --> 00:52:08,800 I live right down the street from Galat, and I want to go 895 00:52:08,800 --> 00:52:12,200 there more than anybody. But if Galat goes away, 896 00:52:12,440 --> 00:52:14,240 Rockingham can take it over, man. 897 00:52:14,280 --> 00:52:17,560 Rockingham can do far more than Galat can do and they can run 898 00:52:17,560 --> 00:52:20,200 quarter mile like a lot of you guys want to complain about time 899 00:52:20,200 --> 00:52:23,800 to time. So all you got to do is support 900 00:52:23,800 --> 00:52:26,960 it man. Support the places that they. 901 00:52:27,280 --> 00:52:30,680 Rockingham flat out told this guy to shove. 902 00:52:30,680 --> 00:52:32,800 It's what I heard whenever he tried to buy it. 903 00:52:33,200 --> 00:52:36,640 So there you go. Wouldn't doubt it after meeting 904 00:52:36,640 --> 00:52:38,600 those guys either. Those guys are pretty, pretty 905 00:52:38,600 --> 00:52:40,840 straight up pretty straightforward at PRI when we 906 00:52:40,840 --> 00:52:44,960 met him. Casey So, yeah, guys, again, 907 00:52:45,400 --> 00:52:48,480 hate to have to come over on this show and then have a 908 00:52:48,480 --> 00:52:52,360 conversation like this and hate all the negativity that's going 909 00:52:52,360 --> 00:52:54,920 around. Even though it's understandable, 910 00:52:55,040 --> 00:52:57,480 especially to those of you out there who have a check that did 911 00:52:57,480 --> 00:53:00,440 not cash. It's understandable that you 912 00:53:00,440 --> 00:53:05,600 would be frustrated and angry and and ready to seek legal 913 00:53:05,600 --> 00:53:08,040 action, if that, if that makes any sense. 914 00:53:08,040 --> 00:53:12,280 But at the same time, it just surrounds a sport that I like to 915 00:53:12,320 --> 00:53:18,160 ex, I like coming to in order to escape negative of the world. 916 00:53:18,800 --> 00:53:21,280 And so that's why I'm always trying to be so positive. 917 00:53:21,840 --> 00:53:24,200 Hopefully you might learn a little some something from that. 918 00:53:24,400 --> 00:53:27,200 And next time I see you at the track, maybe we could just hug, 919 00:53:28,440 --> 00:53:30,320 Just shake my hand or give me 5 or something. 920 00:53:30,960 --> 00:53:33,480 Get the hug. But hey man, what else you got? 921 00:53:35,920 --> 00:53:38,240 I don't know, man, that's, that's kind of all there is. 922 00:53:38,240 --> 00:53:39,640 That's really all there is to say. 923 00:53:39,640 --> 00:53:42,000 Everybody's, you know, been talking about this for two 924 00:53:42,000 --> 00:53:43,640 weeks. I like I said, I just kind of 925 00:53:43,640 --> 00:53:47,160 want it to go away. You know, it is what it is now, 926 00:53:47,160 --> 00:53:49,080 guys. It's, it's unfortunate. 927 00:53:49,080 --> 00:53:52,160 I was hoping it was going to be, you know, I was hoping it was 928 00:53:52,160 --> 00:53:55,760 going to work out. It did not work out. 929 00:53:56,440 --> 00:53:58,640 Boy, it was looking good there for a second case it. 930 00:53:59,000 --> 00:54:02,240 Was it was, I mean, like A at the end of the day, man, that 931 00:54:02,240 --> 00:54:06,720 national event I went to that was was extremely cool, probably 932 00:54:06,720 --> 00:54:08,360 the coolest race I've ever participated in. 933 00:54:08,360 --> 00:54:10,080 I know everybody at that race got paid. 934 00:54:11,920 --> 00:54:14,720 It was cool to to be a part of while it lasted. 935 00:54:15,360 --> 00:54:17,520 I wish it could have come to fruition. 936 00:54:18,120 --> 00:54:23,480 As to what it was sold as, you know, I don't know, maybe you 937 00:54:23,480 --> 00:54:28,600 get sold, maybe it won't get sold it it would take literally, 938 00:54:29,640 --> 00:54:32,880 I feel like it would take Bill Bader to be in charge of it to 939 00:54:33,280 --> 00:54:35,680 even be worth having anymore. I think it's over. 940 00:54:35,680 --> 00:54:39,760 I mean IRG already had everybody on the Fritz and then this is 941 00:54:40,320 --> 00:54:43,320 almost IRG 2 point O just in a different light. 942 00:54:43,480 --> 00:54:47,520 So it's kind of like. What what happens next? 943 00:54:47,520 --> 00:54:51,640 Because there is a hole in our sport right now if this bad boy 944 00:54:51,640 --> 00:54:55,560 is gone and doesn't change hands to someone else and continue to 945 00:54:55,560 --> 00:54:58,240 function. I would almost say similar to 946 00:54:58,240 --> 00:54:59,880 what it what it was when Cuddle had it. 947 00:55:00,320 --> 00:55:03,800 But everything has to work. And of course, what's to come? 948 00:55:03,960 --> 00:55:08,360 Do we see the reemergence of WDRA is my question. 949 00:55:10,360 --> 00:55:11,280 I. Don't think so. 950 00:55:11,560 --> 00:55:15,800 I really don't think that would be the case either because as 951 00:55:15,800 --> 00:55:19,480 far as I'm aware, they started WDRA because they didn't like 952 00:55:19,480 --> 00:55:22,640 the route that IRG was taking with it and then they tried to 953 00:55:22,640 --> 00:55:25,200 buy it at the same time Jeffers tried to buy it. 954 00:55:25,200 --> 00:55:28,640 And that's why WDRA came out. I don't know. 955 00:55:28,640 --> 00:55:32,120 We'll have to go back and review that because we interviewed WDRA 956 00:55:32,120 --> 00:55:34,120 whenever they first came out on this show. 957 00:55:34,960 --> 00:55:37,240 Actually, we had, I think we might have had them on a couple 958 00:55:37,240 --> 00:55:39,840 times too. So, so you can go back in the 959 00:55:39,840 --> 00:55:42,560 golden bracket race and archives and figure out exactly how that 960 00:55:42,560 --> 00:55:43,680 came to fruition. Troy. 961 00:55:44,200 --> 00:55:46,160 Troy just said no and nothing else. 962 00:55:47,280 --> 00:55:49,320 Please expand. Troy, what do you know that I 963 00:55:49,320 --> 00:55:52,160 don't know? Here's the thing, the only 964 00:55:52,160 --> 00:55:55,440 people that don't have a place to go, obviously Mountain Motor 965 00:55:55,440 --> 00:56:00,800 Pro Stock, which I feel like I feel like PDRA or Midwest Drag 966 00:56:00,800 --> 00:56:03,640 Racing Series possibly could pick them up. 967 00:56:03,800 --> 00:56:06,840 Obviously PDRA was where Mountain Motor Pro Stock was. 968 00:56:07,280 --> 00:56:11,000 The only issue with that is they got into it with PDRA for a 969 00:56:11,000 --> 00:56:14,000 while and that's why they all went to IHRA, which is why PDRA 970 00:56:14,000 --> 00:56:18,000 dropped class because there was no support for it anymore. 971 00:56:18,840 --> 00:56:20,600 So that's going to be interesting to see. 972 00:56:21,080 --> 00:56:25,080 The thing I really feel bad about is Top Fuel and Funny Car 973 00:56:25,080 --> 00:56:30,840 guys because those guys can't necessarily compete. 974 00:56:31,280 --> 00:56:33,680 Not that they can't run with them, it's just they can't 975 00:56:33,920 --> 00:56:38,640 afford to run with them. On the NHRA side, I mean, 976 00:56:39,120 --> 00:56:43,000 Jasmine Salinas, she blasted down through, I want to say, 977 00:56:44,600 --> 00:56:46,240 earlier this year. I mean, I don't pay attention to 978 00:56:46,240 --> 00:56:50,560 a lot of the pro side of things for that type of stuff, but I 979 00:56:50,560 --> 00:56:52,400 want to say she did real good at one of those. 980 00:56:52,400 --> 00:56:59,680 I saw Scott Palmer go extremely fast and I try a lot, but like 981 00:56:59,680 --> 00:57:03,040 fuel altereds. I, I feel like fuel altereds fit 982 00:57:03,040 --> 00:57:06,240 Funny Car chaos and they'll probably end up fitting in Funny 983 00:57:06,240 --> 00:57:08,400 Car chaos somewhere. I think some of those guys 984 00:57:08,400 --> 00:57:10,160 actually already run Funny Car chaos. 985 00:57:10,800 --> 00:57:17,440 So mount motor Pro Stock and the and the slower fuel guys is is 986 00:57:17,440 --> 00:57:21,800 really what we have to to work with as far as where can they 987 00:57:21,800 --> 00:57:25,400 go? Yeah, but I one thing, the only 988 00:57:25,400 --> 00:57:28,360 reason I mention it, the only reason I mention it is because 989 00:57:28,680 --> 00:57:35,160 one thing that did come of IHRA having a a successful start was 990 00:57:35,960 --> 00:57:39,600 I felt like, and this is just me, I felt like it pushed the 991 00:57:39,600 --> 00:57:43,840 competition level. It got ugly at points, but the 992 00:57:43,840 --> 00:57:45,880 competition level was extremely high. 993 00:57:46,520 --> 00:57:50,960 I feel like to some extent we gained a little bit more vision 994 00:57:50,960 --> 00:57:54,520 for my NHRA as a sportsman racer to some extent. 995 00:57:54,520 --> 00:57:58,160 Now, people who go to NHRA races, you can correct me if I'm 996 00:57:58,160 --> 00:58:00,680 wrong there. This is what I feel like I see 997 00:58:01,120 --> 00:58:05,560 on the outside looking in as I don't compete at NHRA, but I 998 00:58:05,560 --> 00:58:08,120 felt like sportsman's got a little bit more love. 999 00:58:08,320 --> 00:58:12,320 KC what did you see? Oh yeah, that's that's for sure 1000 00:58:12,320 --> 00:58:16,440 11 good thing that came out of it because what NHRA has done is 1001 00:58:16,440 --> 00:58:19,320 literally due to what IHRA said they. 1002 00:58:19,320 --> 00:58:23,080 Was doing. And that's that's a fact that 1003 00:58:23,080 --> 00:58:25,440 isn't 100% facts. They didn't do anything all 1004 00:58:25,440 --> 00:58:27,680 those years until that happened. So that is something. 1005 00:58:27,680 --> 00:58:30,760 I mean, we got NHRA back to Pete, back to Rockingham. 1006 00:58:30,960 --> 00:58:34,320 We got NHRA headed out to US 131. 1007 00:58:34,600 --> 00:58:41,040 Both of those races are going to be New South Georgia also S 1008 00:58:41,080 --> 00:58:44,360 yeah, South Georgia had one and they were flying out there by 1009 00:58:44,360 --> 00:58:48,920 the way, too. So I mean we we, they created 1010 00:58:48,920 --> 00:58:53,400 some some new things. That's this is the type of thing 1011 00:58:53,400 --> 00:58:55,880 that forced their hand to do that because would they have 1012 00:58:55,880 --> 00:58:57,440 done that otherwise? Right. 1013 00:58:57,960 --> 00:59:00,200 And and that's. And maybe they would. 1014 00:59:00,200 --> 00:59:02,040 Maybe they would have. Who knows, Maybe they would 1015 00:59:02,040 --> 00:59:03,280 have. Maybe it was already in the 1016 00:59:03,280 --> 00:59:06,480 cards, but it's just very coincidental that it happened at 1017 00:59:06,480 --> 00:59:08,200 the same time. And I think that was good for 1018 00:59:08,200 --> 00:59:11,040 the sport. There are good things that come 1019 00:59:11,040 --> 00:59:14,120 out of bad things all the time and and you know, at the end of 1020 00:59:14,120 --> 00:59:19,160 the day, something that would be really cool that there's no way 1021 00:59:19,160 --> 00:59:20,960 this would happen. But I'm just going to put it out 1022 00:59:20,960 --> 00:59:22,760 there that I think that it would be pretty cool. 1023 00:59:24,560 --> 00:59:27,680 You know, everybody can kind of agree that Pro Stock has kind of 1024 00:59:27,680 --> 00:59:30,040 gotten boring over the last 10 years or so. 1025 00:59:30,040 --> 00:59:31,160 It's kind of gotten boring. It's. 1026 00:59:31,280 --> 00:59:32,760 Because George don't drive 1 yet. 1027 00:59:33,440 --> 00:59:36,600 Yeah, there you go. But the fact of the matter is, 1028 00:59:36,600 --> 00:59:40,080 is that if you could, if you could put Mountain Motor Pro 1029 00:59:40,080 --> 00:59:42,880 Stock in with regular Pro Stock and then you have. 1030 00:59:43,200 --> 00:59:46,920 So the one with the hood scoop is the big motor car and the one 1031 00:59:46,920 --> 00:59:49,240 without the hood scoops the little motor car and you do the 1032 00:59:49,240 --> 00:59:50,960 pounds per cubic and similar thing. 1033 00:59:50,960 --> 00:59:53,600 Like that would be extremely cool. 1034 00:59:54,680 --> 00:59:57,480 But that, like I said then they would never do that. 1035 00:59:57,840 --> 01:00:00,160 Felt like I read somewhere the hood scoop was coming back. 1036 01:00:00,760 --> 01:00:03,760 It is. It is, but they still got to run 1037 01:00:03,800 --> 01:00:05,280 EFI. It's just going to be a throttle 1038 01:00:05,280 --> 01:00:07,120 body on the top instead of on the front. 1039 01:00:07,560 --> 01:00:11,000 So that's going to be interesting because I want to 1040 01:00:11,000 --> 01:00:14,040 say Warren Johnson figured up at one point when he was designing 1041 01:00:14,040 --> 01:00:17,800 hood scoops or something that at the quarter mile, the hood scoop 1042 01:00:17,800 --> 01:00:19,760 is worth like 2 lbs of boost or something. 1043 01:00:20,280 --> 01:00:23,440 Yeah, let me answer this real quick to 929 Smith. 1044 01:00:23,520 --> 01:00:26,520 Every track around here is IHRA track. 1045 01:00:26,520 --> 01:00:29,960 What happens now you're going to see a lot of NHRA signings is 1046 01:00:29,960 --> 01:00:32,160 what's going to happen. And that's just my opinion. 1047 01:00:32,720 --> 01:00:36,560 I feel like it you're going to see tracks head to NHRAI don't 1048 01:00:36,560 --> 01:00:39,560 think everybody's going to go outlaw but if those tracks are 1049 01:00:39,560 --> 01:00:44,280 functioning and they aren't owned by IHRA to where they have 1050 01:00:44,280 --> 01:00:47,120 to close the doors at this point you'll see them re sanctioned. 1051 01:00:47,120 --> 01:00:50,720 They'll go to NHRA to gain the insurance product. 1052 01:00:51,600 --> 01:00:54,720 And I I. Still and the NH rate name, go 1053 01:00:54,720 --> 01:00:58,120 ahead. Yeah, I still don't see, I still 1054 01:00:58,120 --> 01:01:01,880 don't see Galat having any issue because I would say that it's 1055 01:01:01,880 --> 01:01:04,640 probably one of the very few tracks in the country that has 1056 01:01:04,680 --> 01:01:08,160 an extremely successful local program that it can actually be 1057 01:01:08,160 --> 01:01:11,760 profitable. So even though that that's one 1058 01:01:11,760 --> 01:01:14,840 of the ones that's owned, I think that would be your last 1059 01:01:14,840 --> 01:01:18,000 case scenario to turn into a data center when you could just 1060 01:01:18,000 --> 01:01:21,960 sell it somebody. I mean, I really thought and I I 1061 01:01:21,960 --> 01:01:24,680 talked to a lot of people about this and they said there's no 1062 01:01:24,680 --> 01:01:28,000 way this would happen either. But I was like, you know, I was 1063 01:01:28,000 --> 01:01:31,000 thinking there for a minute. I'm like, I wonder if Biondo 1064 01:01:31,000 --> 01:01:34,480 would buy this place because he's always down here and he's 1065 01:01:34,480 --> 01:01:37,440 got his one of his main fling events is down here. 1066 01:01:37,440 --> 01:01:41,000 And I was just that was one of my random thoughts I had. 1067 01:01:41,000 --> 01:01:42,880 I don't I don't know Peter personally. 1068 01:01:42,880 --> 01:01:46,800 He's been on this show also, but I don't know him personally so I 1069 01:01:46,800 --> 01:01:49,440 don't I don't know anything about this and he's probably 1070 01:01:49,440 --> 01:01:53,480 like don't say that you idiot. But I was just wondering it. 1071 01:01:53,960 --> 01:01:58,000 Yeah, I'm wondering Ferguson is is Maple Grove was that didn't I 1072 01:01:58,000 --> 01:02:02,480 Trey bite or was at least? I've heard that both ways. 1073 01:02:02,680 --> 01:02:06,880 I've heard I tray bought it and then I I saw somebody say the 1074 01:02:06,880 --> 01:02:09,680 other day that they did not in fact buy it and that was one of 1075 01:02:09,680 --> 01:02:11,040 the owner finance. Thanks. 1076 01:02:11,160 --> 01:02:14,120 Interesting SO. So yeah, don't be shocked if it 1077 01:02:14,120 --> 01:02:18,200 turns back in HRA and almost should have never turned HRA in 1078 01:02:18,200 --> 01:02:20,600 the 1st place. But again, that's part of that 1079 01:02:20,600 --> 01:02:24,720 war that was going on. And, and the look at how big my 1080 01:02:24,720 --> 01:02:28,080 wallet is, is what I what I felt was happening there. 1081 01:02:29,000 --> 01:02:33,640 Yep, it's I don't know man, it's a sucky deal, but at the end. 1082 01:02:33,840 --> 01:02:36,720 Of the day we move forward, there's plenty of drag racing go 1083 01:02:36,720 --> 01:02:40,600 run for 10 gate 10K out there, Cotton County and and Wichita 1084 01:02:40,600 --> 01:02:44,640 Falls this weekend I'll probably be at a basketball or a baseball 1085 01:02:44,640 --> 01:02:47,840 tournament. Knowing me, AAU basketball and 1086 01:02:47,840 --> 01:02:50,360 baseball is just beginning to take over Old George. 1087 01:02:50,360 --> 01:02:51,840 I don't get to race as much as I want to. 1088 01:02:52,280 --> 01:02:55,760 But Casey, man, what you got in closing, because guess what, I 1089 01:02:55,760 --> 01:03:00,440 got to go baseball practice. Hopefully something not negative 1090 01:03:00,440 --> 01:03:03,920 happens this week on Facebook. That would be nice, wouldn't it? 1091 01:03:04,040 --> 01:03:05,640 Just something positive to look at. 1092 01:03:06,520 --> 01:03:08,480 Stay positive. Everybody out there is is 1093 01:03:08,480 --> 01:03:09,760 basically what we're trying to say. 1094 01:03:11,760 --> 01:03:13,880 And watch who you watch, who you listen to. 1095 01:03:14,120 --> 01:03:15,920 Be careful what you read. You know what I mean? 1096 01:03:16,600 --> 01:03:20,600 Don't just fall in so quickly to somebody's shenanigans. 1097 01:03:21,800 --> 01:03:23,360 Enough said. Take it easy. 1098 01:03:23,600 --> 01:03:25,960 Thanks for joining us. Sorry we got shut down on 1099 01:03:25,960 --> 01:03:27,360 Facebook.
