Awesome! Just Awesome!

Every year this show turns out being more than anticipated.

Shinde,
Thanks again for all the hard work. I know this takes a lot of your personal time for this event, and we all look forward to it every year. Also special thanks to Mary the woman behind the man. We all know it takes a special woman to keep up with a man's hobbies. Thanks to every one who has helped put this show on. I applaud every one.

Let's go racin!!!!!!



For those mods thinking of running there that have never been there.

Fast time is usually around 15.60 - 15.80, race speeds around 15.90 - 16.10 (I'll add ish)

Gear range is anything from 5.29 - 5.88

5.63 with a 350 - 400ci (medium output engine) turns around 7000rpm (plus or minus a couple hundred RPM's) depending on track and weather conditions.

The track is very weather sensitive. Hopefully if anyone was curious that answered some questions.


Perry

Hell just the graphics alone would be an awesome prize!

I wonder if fast qualifier will feel like rolling the dice and start at the rear to pick up hard charger $$ and prize??? That alone would be quite the chunk of change. Didn't last year's fast Q make $300.00??

Also don't forget....all classes will receive a trophy for the fast qualifier. Hint......it takes 2 AA batteries along with looking oh so cool.

I would like to add $100.00 more to the modified purse. If it's OK I would like it to be $50.00 more to the winner, $30.00 more for second, and $20.00 more for third. I'm not going to be at Spartan Friday so I'll bring it to Springport Sat. Thanks. Tom S.

What??? no one feeling frisky?????? Gov????? Perry??? OZ????

Why a Hard Charger Award????? Because the fans want to see passing. I'm predicting so much passing in the mod feature that Big Ed will need to take a nap after calling the Mod feature.

Oh Lack of Diesel is gunning for it. I'll be tuning Friday night for Saturday. I'm at least gunning for fast time. I want the title back, and I want the trophy. Although Dan is in the car that I set fast time in at R&R2.

I'm looking for Fast Time and Hard Charger, it's going to be tough coming all the way from the back for the win but it's worth it. (in fact I told my Teammate it'll be fast time with a 15.62, but don't tell anyone.)

Ok, we won't tell anyone that your time will be 1 5 . 6 2 secs!!!!!!

Hey, I have a challenge for you and your team. I've got $10 bucks that says my team will have a combined faster time than your team........how about it??? You and the Gov against Gavin and Roger. Any other teams out there want a piece of the action?????

$10 bucks........Your on!




Alright Dan we better pull this off.

Uh-Oh.... I better not biff the setup.

Tom,

It will be split up that way.

1. 670 increased from 460 through PFD's Biggest Fan addition of $100, Schindewolf Racing addition of $40, and $20 from Rob Gray, of KB Motorsports, and $50 from ShrtTrkFan55.
2. 480 increased from 350 through the addition of $50 from Schindewolf Racing and $50 from Top Notch Driving Academy and $30 from ShrtTrkFan55.
3. 320 increased from 275 through the addition of $25 from Schindewolf Racing and $20 from ShrtTrkFan55.

have a good day,

schinde

Here's a photo of the trophy for the feature winner of the MODS. It was very difficult to photograph because of the glare and my cat kept insisting on laying next to the trophy.

NICE !

oh jeez.

Is this cummulative(average)? or the best of the 4?

This isn't skins.

Perry's lap that he's using and the Gov's lap added together. Can't use a lap that is lost if you partake of the add a lap option and go slower. Same for you and your dad.

Now you will have to think...hmmm.....do I go first and do I wait...........do I try and better my time or will I lose my time.......decisions......decisions.......do you let your crew chief make the call?????

Do you wait until the track is hot or do you go early before the clouds come???? Decisions....decisions.

All those decisions are going to make your head's hurt.

But remember, no dilly-dallying. When you are called for the Add A Lap sessions, you can't be a-thinkin' and a-wondrin' and a-waitin', you gotta be a-goin'.

So, make sure you're heads aren't hurting, and turn that faster lap.

Dynochick, keep 'em stirred up, you'll have Gavin, Mike, Perry and Dan so fired up they will drive their a**es off just to win that side bet.

Just what R&R is about.

Oh, by the way, ...................

forgot what it was about,

anyway,

have a good day,

schinde

Great, I slow down when I drive my ass off.

I'd like to get in on this side bet,,, just having problem picking which team to back,, I guess I'll wait for the graff to start coming my way before I decide,,, Gavin, got any Nissan shirts??? Dan got any motors ??
The Wizard

I think it should be Veterans against young-guns... Dan and Roger Vs Perry and Gavin. That would be fun wouldn't it?

Dynochick- you know you picked a long shot don't you? not that the cars aren't fast, but being VERY part-time makes qualifying tough.

Still fun either way though.

Mike

Mike,,glad to see you put Dan in the OLD MAN catagory...Not that Gavin's dad is old..

I guess being away for a couple days, finds some very intersting talk and challenges for R&R IV.

Hell YES I'm up for a challenge as always.

I just want to point out that there have been 3 combined features with Governors Motor Sports power plants this year.

Dyno Chick are you sure you still want this wager? LOL.

Might have to just consider scratching to the rear hummmmmmm.

Gov

This could be good.

Big Ed,

Are you catching this?

Might want to print it to make sure the crowd knows what these guys are up to.

Gentlemen,

to your garages!

have a good day,

schinde

Here's a suggestion... this is a way that you four guys could have a competition where there is only one person winning.

First, you have two teams: Dan/Perry vs Roger/Gavin
Next you have older vs younger: Dan/Roger vs Perry/Gavin

The idea is to end up with one "double" winner. For instance, if the Dan/Perry team wins and the Perry/Gavin team wins, then Perry is the overall winner. So, Perry would not only be rooting for Dan to go fast, but he would also be rooting for Gavin to go fast!

If the Roger/Gavin team wins and the Dan/Roger team wins, then Roger is the overall winner.

Hmmm.... you could also have one double loser. In the first case, Roger is the overall loser. In the second case, Perry is the overall loser.

-Maurice

Interesting idea...


On the young/old thing you guys are actually spot on, I think Perry and I are the same age, and my dad is slightly older than Dan.





That may be true, but I think my motors have a higher percentage of fast times, about 16% And I mean my motors just plain run better.

OK gang, let's not make this too complicated. Let's just stick with something that is easy enough to explain. I will have a full plate this Saturday already, without having to go through the rules of a side bet, like announcing the rules for the 60 lap Pony Feature!!!!

We DO have some time restraints here boys!!!

And we have a lot of RACIN' to do, then a lot of ROCKIN'

KISS - Keep it simple stupid!!!!!

Slightly ?????? are you counting days or hours??

Egads!!! I just spent 10 minutes writing a reply and lost it.

Yes...I thought about the fact that Roger usually only races a couple of times a year. Though he did finish in front of Perry, Dan, and Gavin the last time...dig dig LOL.

Also I thought about the fact that Gavin has limited time in the Mod.

But I kinda like the Young guns against the Geritol Duo. Gosh I hope The Gov doesn't throw Jello shots at me for that AND please no one tell Roger...I have to live with him.

We have some time yet to decide but I kinda like Mopar's idea too. Would that work if any other duos want to partake (no ringers please)? Maybe 10 bucks a duo. Winner takes all. Just ideas. We can finalize before Saturday.

I wish I could find this old photo of the Mod drivers at the first mod race at Springport (Ideal back then). I've never seen so much hair. Hair down to their shoulders and hair all over their faces. They were a furry bunch back then. The Gov and Roger are in the photo and I think Mingus, I can't remember who else.

How's this sound:

We keep it Dan and I Vs. Gavin and Roger (or any other side bets that may exist). But the twist.....................After 2nd round qualifying and everyone knows the fastest times. We cut paper with how ever many qualifiers we have. All four of us draw. Whatever number we draw is the position and time we get. Then we'll take those four and either add them up for a total or divide them for the fastest average.

Whatcha think?


Dan,

There is also one fast time..............coincidently............at Sprinport

I'm not sure I completely follow this whole idea......but if we're going with old/young teams I'd be willing to team up with a older driver and give it a shot!

What are we talking about for a wager?

I bet Dan could give some insight as to how many fast times my car has had over the years??? My best so far was 3rd quick at Spartan last year and wouldn't you know who knocked me out of 2nd? Dan himself

Side Note: The car I drive is Dan's old car.

Tony,

Never kept track of fast times, but I'm guessing it would be over 150. After all that car has had 63 or 64
feature wins. One year @ Spartan we were fast time 12 or 13 times and that is when it paid 100.00 each time.

Just for the record, that car is about 18 years young now and still gets around very well.

Gov

So qualifying used to be a competition before it turned into a "game"? That would be cool to do again someday...

Mike

I don't get it... so... no.

It would be totally random....lol.

It would be random, but if you bombed your qualifying time then it would still give you a chance to win by using someone else's time.

I think that's what Perry meant?

I had a long explanation with numbers and everything. But when I went to hit the add button, I thought this is to complicated!

So let's keep it simple. Dan and I vs. Gavin and Roger I got $10 on it.

LOL, this isn't even my bet, what do I care? (all in good fun)

I think we should guess the price of a racing part, then drop a plinko chip, and that determines the dollar amount of the bet, plus the price difference of the acutal price of the racing part vs the "guessed" price.

What we should be working on is our tug-o-war straategy.

Find out where the tug of war will be held. Will it be on the asphalt or in the grass/dirt of the infield?

If asphalt, use tennis shoes. If the infield, don't use tennis shoes. Use a shoe with a defined heel so you can dig into the dirt.

No soaking allowed.

-Maurice

I think that I should just be the one to qualify all four cars...for fairness and all...

But if it comes down to it...

I know where BOTH of their cars are kept, and they only know where ONE of ours is...

trust me, you WILL NOT fit in the 81R, very few people will.

Sure I can...We'll just remove the seat alltogether.

Here is a photo of the Modified Hard Charger Award. 200 bucks in gold colored coins hermetically sealed in a mayo jar.

After taking this photo, I hid the jar under Funk and Wagnall's porch for safe keeping.

Hope no one knows where Funk and Wagnall lives.

Just in case it ends up being Dan and Roger against Gavin and Mike,

remember,

Old Age And Treachery Beat Youth And Enthusiasm Everyime.

Which means in essence:

Gavin, don't listen to your dad's advice about car set up before you qualify,

And Perry, don't let Dan tinker with your motor before qualifying.

Us old guys use very advantage, treachery included.

Just fair warning,

have a good day,

schinde

The trophies are awesome. Guess I'll have to wait till Saturday to see the fast time trophy.




The beauty of smack talk, is that it's fun.............


Schinde,

He already tried once. He wanted to set the timing, I said it was just fine at 46 degrees........

46!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU TOLD ME 36 WTF.


LOL, aw come on now I just want to reset the lash to maximize my chance, I mean performance.

Gov

From reading these posts, I'm willing to bet someones got Joe Gibbs 0w oil on the way for qualifying... anything to reduce drag right? LOL

I'll post a photo of the Fast Q trophy tomorrow evening after I find a couple of batteries.

I'm trying to create a sense of anticipation.

Plus, I just can't figure out how to insert a photo without having to redo it 2 and 3 times and using some of Roger's best cuss words along with it.

They should have to wear their firesuits and maybe helmets......hmmmm might be too hot......plus you can't trust the other classes not to bring in wringers hidden behind faceshields......I'm sure the Mods guys would be honest.....but you know those Ponies drivers are unscrupulous.

Karnac says: no one is even gonna get that joke.

0W oil, oh no. Olive oil, it's good for at least one good lap.....


Dan,

I promise it's no more than 27 degrees........lol
