Michael & Mitzi Posted August 5, 2008 Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 Super Streets will be racing for points This weekend, Texas True Stock will be racing for points this weekend, BUT because of the scheduling shift from the monster trucks Cody Limerick had made vacation plans for this weekend, Therefore it wouldn't be fair to have a points race in the Thunder cars, Pretty much the way it was for the super street #81 Last week-end. If all goes well this week we will have something new in the staging area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

txtwister Posted August 8, 2008 Report Share Posted August 8, 2008 that would be great. i wish everyone that could race with us would show the support you guys have shown. this class would really take off. i think most peoble assume you have to have a million dollar car to compete, truth is i (and countless other people)could build one for less than 10k and run up front. They do it out west, and what a show they put on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just bought a 350 chevy with 45 pound eagle crank h beam rods, mahle pistons, dart heads. from pan to intake and an extra set of Dart heads for $3000 dollars. good for you ..you know you can buy v8 parts alot cheaper with all those parts companys out there ...4 banger doesnt have as many doing that ..only one company makes these heads and you want one you pay ..i suppose alot of us and i mean hundreds of 4 bangers all over the usa and beyond have gotten screwed as you say .and that includes drag racers . .. .... .maybe we are just stupid i suppose ..if thats the case im in good company ...i could name alot of texas drivers who were dumb enough to get screwed into buying this stuff .. but that would be one heck of a long list .... and i would bet you have been screwed along the way aswell .that motor you just bought cost $3000 right... makes me wonder if you could have gotten it cheaper somewhere else ..lol who knows someone out there most probably knows where you could have .. and are now thinking you got screwed ...getting my point .

Tim Posted August 19, 2008 Report Share Posted August 19, 2008 3,000 FOR POORBOYS MOTOR IS A HELL OF A DEAL, I am pretty sure that it is a heck of a deal, sounds like it. But, I am pretty sure that you could get a better motor for more $$$... if you wanted to. Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
txtwister Posted August 19, 2008 Report Share Posted August 19, 2008 if you race cars you get screwed! but we continue to do it. anyone who is racing is losing money. if it was all about the money then the gocart class would have about 75000 carts on the track. asside from that, no one said racing is for everyone. good thing. $3500 cylinder head four a 4 cylinder. Boy you guys got screwed. I just bought a 350 chevy with 45 pound eagle crank h beam rods, mahle pistons, dart heads. from pan to intake and an extra set of Dart heads for $3000 dollars. poorboy, OT and I got ours sponsored.....
