On the win...I wasn't going to say anything and let you have your fun with this win...But i think some people need to know the other side of this race...You Knew that i had hurt the motor the pass before,and the only reason i raced you cause alot of people wanted to see this race go down...You and i had talked about i just redlight(that was before they took the tree down)But i didn't want to let the bird fans down that way..i told josh not to put up the money cause the bird's motor was hurt..but he did anyways!,are game plan was to go to the lanes and hope you read lit or broke something(sorry)-but you didn't so i went for the chase on 7 cylinders(we had taken out 2 lifters,2 push rods and rocker arms and caped off the the nos/fuel lines going to the #6 cylinder and took off the #6 spark plug wire(we have done this before)Gup i really like you alot you feed us and offered us anything that we needed...but if i were you i wouldn't call my brother inlaw meat ball anymore...he doesn't have a sence of humor like me sometimes!!,I have no doubt that you will give me a rematch you seem like a stand up guy...by the way did anybody read the rules...winner was to weigh their car...take care mr gup.

That a shame you hurt the motor..I give you a thumbs up..you still ran the race. At lease the race when down. Everyone was looking forward to it.been real easy for you to call it off. I still like you ED and I am sure you Gup will race again !I was rooting for you.. that open trailer kind of digs at my heart..Never met Gup. but sounds like a real nice guy.

Birdman, you did say you were willing to blow it up and you did so hats off to you. I think you earned the respect of everyone involved. BTW I would love to see a rematch, any experienced racer could see you had a problem of some kind. that was a big belch off of the brake and your car just did not seem to accelerate as it should have, no disrespect to Gup he has a great car and is a top racer
Anyway thanks for some good entertainment and best of luck to both you and Gup.

Hats off to you Bird!!

I too would love to see a rematch. I think Josh should give it top billing.

Bird you and Guppy have some bad boy toys.

Bird,

That's a standup commitment. You said you would be there and you were. Not many folks these days can say they would have done what you did! Rock on bud.

CAN U FEEL THE LOVE ...... Thanks for the respect .


Now my side of the race , we did not race for the 2,000. I said ,just race for the punk out money . I offered this option so you would put it in the beams, as u did. Either way I was getting the $500.(unless I malfunctioned ) as this race was locked in and we were both there . I would of gave u the money if I broke before we raced. BIG THANKS TO JOSH FOR DOING THE RITE THING! This was my first "GRUDGE" race and won't be my last.

The car was weighed every pass and met the 3,000 lbs

Tell "MEATBALL" I wont call him that anymore......."PORK CHOP " is way better.

Until next time ....I'll get u JOE DIRT.

Thought the bird didn't look right on that launch- hate to hear you hurt it. Hope it's not too serious.
Get him next time, bird.
