June 30 LIST OF NCRA OUTLAW SPRINT CAR SERIES EVENTS I ATTENDED FROM 1988 TO 2004
December 13 MORE TRIVIAL DRIVEL FROM THE GEENER!Greetings. I hope all is well for you where ever you reside. To my friends in Oklahoma,I especially want to send good tidings. Hope the ice melts away soon. God knows,you all need some better fortunes than what you have been dealt lately.
Well now,lets move on to the task at hand,more trivial drivel from,"ME." Shall we?
The countdown has begun,to the enormous family reunion known as the "CHILI-BOWL." In mere weeks "GAZILLIONS" of us will trod into the hallowed grounds of the "TULSA EXPO RACEWAY" for the 22nd editon of the famed "CHILI-BOWL MIDGET NATIONALS."
This will be my 16th trip to the "BOWL."
Our good buddy OKCfan12(from HOSEHEADS message board fame)has asked the preverbial question, "What is the latest car count?" The last update was nearing the 170 mark,but I am sure it is probably beyond that now. Could we be nearing the 300 mark this year? Gotta love "OKC" he has to have a big car count.
Five days is too many for the "BOWL." Three days and a 150 cars is more than fine with me.
Pay per view? Didn't we do that before? If I remember correctly they set up a large screen behind the front stretch grandstand and sold seats to view back in '95 or '96? Now we are going "BIG-TIME" on HBO pay-per-view. BOOGITY,BOOGITY, UGH!
I look forward to hearing Dustin Boney's almost identical rendition of Randy Ward's(the best announcer since Jack Miller at the "BOWL")call of the action during the week at "CHILI-BOWL."
Ryan Newman's name has been mentioned as an entry in the "BOWL" this year. Reminder to Ryan,this is "DIRT" pavement was your cup of tea in USAC. Oh well,good luck. Who knows he might surprise us. Jeez, he better do well,my wireless phone is with ALLTEL. Don't want to make the sponsor look bad. LOL!!!!!!!!
Word has it the "QUIKTRIP" convenience stores now sponsors the "EXPO PAVILLION." I guess it now will be known as the,"CHILI-BOWL MIDGET NATIONALS"at the Tulsa Expo Raceway at Quiktrip Pavillion. Jeez,can you fit all of that on a t-shirt? Who knows,next "JANI-KING" will be sponsoring the rest room facilities. Will it ever end???
Looking over the pre-enty list on the "BOWL" website,I spotted Tyler Walker's name with the ZERO Motorsports entry of Johnny Murdock. Oh Tyler how far have we fallen,from a HERO,to a ZERO. God love Johnny Murdock,but the line to the rest room goes faster than his car(s) do. Could he have finally found speed?
Kevin Swindell may have talent,but he is a bit of a punk. Seems his "DADDY" Sammy fights for him. Guess that would make lil' Kevin a spoiled punk? Ie, a p***y?
Think Sammy will show his ass this year? Great racer,damn fun to watch,but a jerk otherwise.
ASCS-Northwest. How many divisions does that make now? I lost count. Oh well,the more the merrier.
Jac Haudenschild's '08 t-shirts are available on his website. Do you think the "WILD CHILD" will stay in this ride the whole year?
It has been twenty years since the NCRA closed down the "CHAMP DIRT CAR" (ie, Supermodifieds for us historians)series. I miss the big brute 100 inch cars. Without the wing hung on the top of the cage they were even more intimidating and exciting.
The "CHAMP DIRT" posse even ran at the "HALLOWED" ground of Knoxville Raceway in August of 1984. Ron Shuman won the $2000 to win "winged" event. The "OUTLAW" sprint cars tagged by NCRA to take the place of the "CHAMPS" never ran a stand alone show at Knoxville.
I ran across a great website that covers pavement sprint car racing in the Northwest and western Canada, http://www.wilrocraing.com The "WILROC" series looks like it would be one to check out. They have a lot of driver info,links to driver websites,and lots of great photos.. Check it out..
PREDICTIONS FOR 2008
Gary Wright will still be contemplating retirement,continue to try liquidating his entire racing operation,and yet still fight off all competitors who vie to take his title as the "DEMA-GOD" of the ASCS National Tour.
Someone other than Terry Gray will win the USCS National title. Hey its possible!
Pete Walton will make a smart move and sanction more races in the Mid-South(Memphis)area. It could make the series better if he did.(just a suggestion)
Kraig Kinser will be a strong contender for the "World of Outlaws" title.
Zach Chappell will have a better year than his dismal '07 campaign.
Tyler Walker will win the "CHILI-BOWL."(LOL)
__________________________________________________________________________
Ok I could go on and on with my predictions,but they would probably get more ridculous. LOL!
Hell we all have to bull-shit now and then...(ME, a lot ie, read this blog)LOL!!
I hope all of you have a wonderful holiday season with your family and friends,and I look forward to seeing you at the races in 2008.
Come up to section "E" on the front stretch grandstands at the "BOWL" and say hello. We'll drink a beer(s) together.
MERRY CHRISTMAS and a happy and very safe NEW YEAR. See you at the "BOWL."
