savoyracer a pathetic clueless nobody that ain't done shyt nor got shyt worth talking about.

Meanwhile, I'm here, I'm good for business and I use the bosses products on my race cars.

Back to this bullshyt claim of this thread...

Again x3...I've been racing since May, in Ohio, New Hampshire, New York, PA and Maryland and no one is checking racers temperatures, no racers are wearing masks and racers are not social distancing ANYWHERE so stop the bullshyt how we are setting the example.

99.9% of bracket and class racers ain’t ever wearing a mask at the track PERIOD! The track owners and the nhra knows it!!

Your 1st statement is classic, like you haven't had a track record of that.

I've never said or implied that I disagreed with what you have to do or not do COVID procedure wise. I stated what we have to do. In NV. they have shut down & fined businesses for not complying with COVID BS procedures. So, yes we are setting the example by supporting our track & not getting them shut downed or fined.

No I haven't, only replies to those like you and No one cares what you are doing. I'm telling you what WE, the rest of the country are not doing!

Please vote in the Presidential election and I hope you vote for Trump. I cannot imagine this country if the Dems get the White House, Senate and House of Reps.

Agree on all, and I will add that the two tracks I frequent in Illinois and the one in Iowa have been exactly like you describe. With the governor we have, that can always change.

I will restate: Nobody is blowing off this virus. It's real. But taking our rights to choose how and if we are going to protect ourselves is unconstitutional.

You care, that's why you are replying to what I'm doing. As for the rest of the WE are doing; Indy, Kansas, CA. & I'm sure others are doing.

I'm calling you out on your typical BULLSHYT claims. Couldn't care any less what goes on in that socialist state known as California and I'l be in Indy in 1 month assuming the NHRA doesn't pull the plug.

For the most part I believe folks are starting to do a better job as you have said. Media exploits but you can get information listening to the scientists. They are the only defense we have and yes they are still learning. This year is a throw away for racing but attending the Sonoma race shows they can pull it off safely while social distancing and wearing masks if your state and local are enforcing it. Pretty simple really.

I've dealt with forum punks like you before. Two of them were back on the East Coast. One threatened to kill me when/if he met me at the track. The other was going to kick my a...ss on the race track, neither happened. I tracked them both down at the track & confronted them. Guess what, nothing happened but their eyes bigger than their head, excuses & apologies. The one has me for beers when I'm back East for racing.

I have no reason to meet you & I'm sure if we did. It would work out just fine.

ED, you know nothing other than your own BS!

it's you that us the internet forum punk and you definitely wouldn't say it to my face! You're just another forum nobody with an opinion that ain't got shyt nor done shyt worth talking about.

BKing,
It's useless arguing with him. He will just call you names like he does me. I just consider the source and move on. He's nothing, never amounted to anything and never will. I don't need his drivel.

says the senile old man who is another internet forum nobody with an opinion that ain't got shyt nor done shyt worth talking about.

You're right. I've never done anything, haven't got anything but the respect of my peers out here on the left coast. Earned after 40 plus years of bracket and index racing.

Floyd,
I don't post much on the Forums. Since Mar. I've been home waiting on surgery & finally had it done. Hope to be back to work by Oct. 1 so my post count has went up drastically (still low).

As far as ED, I have always used him for cheap entertainment as many do. The name calling, if the names were correct & hit the nail on the head. I might get upset/mad, but they are incorrect. As for him being a Forums Punk, Idiot, Buffoon & whatever else fits. He has earned that over many.... many years on many different forums. That's the FACTS & he doesn't like it. Enough said, his BS lists goes on & on!

"ED, you know nothing other than your own BS!"

B King,

Glad you are recovering from your surgery. I've been retires for 3 years now, ran my own business till I was 75. Finally had to throw in the towel. Health was getting the better of me. Quit driving 2 years ago and turned the seat over to my boy. I couldn't comfortably get past the age anymore. Getting in wasn't bad but getting out was a chore. I still own the truck and pay the bills. My boy sold his race cars and we don't gomuch anymore. His business keeps him tied up. You might of heard of him, Turbosmart?
You take care of yourself and pay attention to what the doctors say so you can heal up good. God Bless.

Thanks Floyd!

Was your truck always that color & set-up? Yes, I've heard/know of the name.

B King,
Yes, that is the original factory color. It's been repainted but still the same. The set up and engine have been changed over the last few years. We raced quite a bit in Vegas at the Heritage series, the PSCA races, Super Chevy and a few others.
We back halved it 3 years ago and put had Hughes redo the turbo 400.

Thanks! I was thinking it was the Gold truck that runs out here.
