Baller_ DW Posted June 20, 2012 Baller_ Share Posted June 20, 2012 During the winners interview of Dale Jr. in winners circle at Michigan, he paid homage to his fans for the significant part they played in his long awaited return to victory lane. Congrats to JTH for helping Jr & Jr. Nation return to prominance!!! Way to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller skibug Posted June 21, 2012 Baller Share Posted June 21, 2012 .....only if he can race at Michigan and they only count the points for that race every 4 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Horton Posted June 21, 2012 Administrators Share Posted June 21, 2012 @skibug Do you want me to ban you? If you talk smack about Jr I will ban you and get you kicked out of water skiing entirely.

Baller_ DW Posted June 21, 2012 Author Baller_ Share Posted June 21, 2012 Would be great for the sport if the Cup found a spot on Jr's mantle. Going to be a tall order as there are a couple of guys that really step up their game come Chase time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Horton Posted June 21, 2012 Administrators Share Posted June 21, 2012 @DW Yes I know it is too much to expect but like buying a lotto ticket... It could happen.

Baller skibug Posted June 21, 2012 Baller Share Posted June 21, 2012 @Horton, at least you are well grounded about Jr. chances of actually taking home the cup...maybe Jr. should play the lottery. Don't get me wrong...his father was the man...Jr....not so much. He has been given EVERYTHING to become a winner. They have replaced and amped up (pardon the pun) everything on that team, except the driver. Give that equipment and liberty to a dozen other drivers out there and they would win.

Baller skidawg Posted June 21, 2012 Baller Share Posted June 21, 2012 real sports make left and right turns! (6 of them) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller_ DW Posted June 21, 2012 Author Baller_ Share Posted June 21, 2012 Actually, Jr. is very talented and has the talent to win a Cup. IMO he is missing the motivation and direction his late father provided, which is a small piece but a significant one. Don't forget, he did outduel Matt K, to 2 Busch championships. Can he get that back, time will tell, he seems more motivated this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller ForrestGump Posted June 21, 2012 Baller Share Posted June 21, 2012 Dawg, Nascar is at the Sears Point/Sonoma road courese this weekend. So I'll be parked in front of the tv watching left and right turns instead of at the lake. Go Robby Gordon! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Sullivan Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 I will be routing for Jr. at a tournament in the rain. Maybe someone with a motorhome will let me watch the race. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Horton Posted June 22, 2012 Administrators Share Posted June 22, 2012 Well look we all know that this weekend is not going to be great for the 88. Looks like my twin brother Boris is not going this weekend. Bummer.

Baller skibug Posted June 22, 2012 Baller Share Posted June 22, 2012 It takes some talent to actaully drive "not turn left" sometimes...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Sullivan Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 What are you talking about.......a formula 1 car has so much down force and traction you could probably even win a race Bob. Now put yourself behind a car with lots of power, skinny tires and no downforce and see how long you last. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller scuppers Posted June 22, 2012 Baller Share Posted June 22, 2012 @skibug & @Sully Sully's right - driving a cup car is like driving an ice cube on an oil slick. Go all the way back to the IROC series - Mostly Cup drivers won the championships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller skibug Posted June 22, 2012 Baller Share Posted June 22, 2012 That's why I said you need talent....and I am offended...you have never seen me on the go-cart track tearing it up....I get the "no bumping" sign thrown at me all the time. I can't help it that those 7 & 8 year olds are so slow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller MAD11 Posted June 22, 2012 Baller Share Posted June 22, 2012 @Horton I had the honor of having parts of mine in RCR cars for many years when Big E was winning like crazy. All the way back to the Andy Petree days and the championships of 93 and 94. Little E needs to bring one home. Been way too long. MA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller MattP Posted June 22, 2012 Baller Share Posted June 22, 2012 Big and Little E? Never heard them talked about like that.. Normally just Dale and Jr. where I'm from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller_ DW Posted June 22, 2012 Author Baller_ Share Posted June 22, 2012 Actually driving a current Cup car is very similar to driving a Silverado Pickup truck, pretty much the same chassis dynamics. MAD11, what parts? JTH, the Said heads will be at Sonoma, Boris in the #32, there is a better group of them at the Glen . . . Do you know what his kid is named?

Baller MAD11 Posted June 22, 2012 Baller Share Posted June 22, 2012 Apply coatings on pistons, valve springs, valves, brake calipers intakes, crankshafts and some other parts for years. Had a performance coatings company for about 9-10 years called Aero-Coat. Mostly drag racing, offshore racing, carting and dirt track customers and a few commercial clients like NASA. Fun stuff. Funded my own racing habits for years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller_ DW Posted June 23, 2012 Author Baller_ Share Posted June 23, 2012 Cool, I used coatings on all of the above and a bunch of the drivetrain, diff/gears/CV joints, bearings, etc.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
