Thanks Nate, the car has been hooked up the last couple nights. A lot of close racing these last two nights. Glad everyone is running so clean, Thanks again guys!

I think for the lead sleds, Ricky Plamondon was 2nd, Jimmy Stratton was in the top 5 somewhere, Lampson pulled off, Stearns went to the rear, Rollover Rex went to the rear. Not quite sure about the rest of the top 5.
Lonnie is doing a great job in that car. At some points in the race I didn't know if he would be able to get up to the front, but he shows great patience while everyone in front of him is 3 wide. But as soon as those cars get in line, the kid is just a bullet.
For the Factory Stocks, Timmy Near won, Jim Miller Jr. was 2nd, and I know Adam Rowe and Joe Ward had a great battle for 3rd, not sure who got it.

Didn't we already go through all of this fast13? Read the 6,532 pages about people thinking that Lonnie is cheating, and somehow manages to make it through tech every week. If he is cheating, why hasn't he been caught? Use your head.

You gotta love it when people are haten ya cause that means your doin it right. Gotta tell ya I watched ya qualify saturday and seen how you just let that thing roll through the corner like nobodys business, totally awsome you believe in that car like that.You and your ride are bad$$ and they will keep haten so keep lovin it. Maybe someday I will find the right combo for Chris and he will believe in his too and be able to do the same. I've always told ya corner speed is where it;s at and you surely found it. Kool Kool Kool.

His car is real fast commin out of turn 2, i watch him pull most people a whole car or two on the way out of it. Not sure how he does it but he is sure fast. But like they say if you can pick up the throttle sooner it will take alot of motor to catch back up, and then it will be harder commin into the next corner cause of your speed entering. good job Lonnie

Congrats to Lonnie also.I know it wasnt Jimmy Stratton saying that. Im his dad and he told me hes driven Lonnies car And the handlin on Lonnies car is awesum. It almost drives itself through the corners.I know Jimmys car is close but its a new car this year and hes hasnt quite got it hooked up yet.When he does you will see some great racing.Its already exciting.I missed last weekend because of a heart test I had to have done.So thats the end of this subject of cheating !!!!!

Jul 28 2008, 08:28 PM
IF more people would worry about making their cars faster instead of accusing people of cheating theyd be better off let the tech guys worry about that the kids having a awesome year give him credit he passes tech every week so why dont you leave it be and worry about your own car instead of what everyone else is doing

Good job Lonnie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If could watch Lonnie from the stands, it is obvious that he is a rocket in the corners. I watch him Friday night, and he drove a clean race, waiting for the right opprotunity to pass when he needed to. He almost lost it to Jimmy. Jimmy just got held up a little, otherwise if Jimmy would of got the lead, he would of been very hard to pass.
When was the last time a bounty was set for a Lead Sled Driver??????????????????????
As you can see, somebody has been doing there homework, and Lonnie is such a good example for the sport.

I was wondering where the hell my car went LOL He is going to try and run both nights if the motor holds up. We broke it at practice today. She broke a push rod and kicked out a lifter. It should be ok. I want to thank Timmy and friends for helping me get it ready for tomorrow. Good group of guys. The M1 will be transformed into the 71 this weekend. Go easy on him guys LOL she's just a little 355

You are right for sure Mike. It was another rocker stud???
As much fun as it would be to get some "I think my diapers are full" started about Timmy going for the bounty, thats not really the deal. Timmy's main focus is the FS championship, he isn't far out of the lead. We had already talked about him driving it a month ago. He is just doing it for some fun and helping me at the same time. Not sure it's enough car to beat LJ. I am sure he will give it hell. Someone better keep me posted at work

Well, please explain to me , and correct me if I am wrong, but I was just told a few weeks ago, it was spinee and spiner BOTH go the rear, now that rule has been changed? Hmmmmm, or does it depend on the night, the race ,or the driver if that rule applies? Why not make ONE rule and stick to it. But wait, once again, we are talking about Auto City here.

I just now seen that, and yes, that was extremely nice of Lonnie, But you still didn't answer my question about the spinner rule, but maybe you don't know the answer either. That is the type of driver Lonnie is. We have watched him race for a while now and he races clean. But whatever, I personally think there were a ton of bad calls Saturday night, and once again too many chiefs barking orders, but for the last and final time, THAT'S AUTO CITY.

it was fun racing until the bounty money came up and we had to work on the m-15 car to make it faster so he has a chance to win..and he had that chance until somebody decided to run lonnie dirty and take the win..it seems like lonnie can make it all the way through the field until he gets to a driver who cant accept that he has been beat..maybe it will be more fun now that the bounty is over
