Just getting caught up on my DVR recordings,saw Gentile win a round.

Who’s the guy standing around the car with the muscle shirt on? That wasn’t Bob was it. Lol.

I know nothing about any of them, but it is interesting when the Bruder bros are talking about adding and adding power and then Big Chief's little engine beats them all. Were the other guys way too conservative up on the hill and not make adjustments fast enough and Chief just started at 11?

“Regular” Meaning real Pontiac architecture? Yes. 100% aftermarket parts? Yes. 40 + pounds of boost with a splash of nitromethane? Yes.
This is no DRCE engine, or a 481x. He’s doing it the hard way with good results.

why does he look like he got huge overall? lol from when then show first started, looke like his head got big ( steroids) lmao

I know its all we see, but overall ?? this guy left his wife and two kids etc for ???... so full of himself.
please get over it....best pass I ever made in the car...drove out of his life '

ha ha ha ha ha ha

has anyone noticed Lutz and Larson?? biggest sore losers ive ever seen lmao !!!

I understand that, and yes I know its impressive...BUT on the show he said it was a 455 that came in the car...LOL SO now all of America thinks its nothing...lol

Never see more than a few minutes of that show except when channel surfing, what a bunch of white trash, inked-up, foul mothed scuzzy looking dirt bags. The promos say it all in 30 seconds with the fighting and cursing.. like watching WWE and roller derby.

and you believe that chief just has a "regular" Pontiac motor??? lol

I'm thankful to both the racers and the T.V network for helping get more people to the tracks to watch and more racers to compete

...with a splash of nitromethane? Yes.

Chief beat Vixen because the p/s header collector blew almost in half. They made that pass with less than half the boost they had programmed for.

Yes, he owns the car now
I sold him a BB 440 powered Dart a long time ago, but I don't think we have met in person

Which race John? Birdtracker

I know it was a few weeks ago but I still cant believe that Larry Larson threatened Bobby Decotte, if he guesses on the tree, he was going to fight him.
And it actually happened but Ducotte smashed him to the ground.
I was shocked because Bobby is out of shape, smokes and pretty heavy.

Bob did you see that they bumped the Norwalk race into October next year because of the bracket finals being ran there next year. Just a heads up so you can plan your schedule

It surprised me too, he was smart enough to not take his helmet off though. I don't see what the big deal is about guessing the tree, it happens every time I pull to the line, LOL.

I had some respect for Larson before this deal but now I think about the same of him as I do Putz. In the end they are both better racers than me and have way nicer/faster cars so I'll return to the peanut gallery.

AND.....IF you listened, Larson told him after the fight was broken up..."I hope your motor blows into a thousand pieces" How many shows later and Larsons motor is broke with the heads off...LMAO there some KARMA right there !

Any one heard about Chiefs best buddy in the Murder Nova?

He raced the last show in Ennis. May be setting up for next year. As for Larson. He just got frustrated. He built a new car to meet rules and he just couldn't get much traction all year. He is a really nice guy who would do anything for anyone out there. Don't judge him on one miscalculation.
Nobody on the show likes "guessers". They are kind of looked at as cowards but that is a legitimate way to race. We had two drivers guess against us and they both red lit. That is the chance you take but it gives slower cars a chance.

Where is the Imogi with the axe man cutting down the tree

I am interested in what happened to Sean (Murder Nova) also.

Got to chat with Boddie a bit at Kyle's Street Car Shootout benefit race a few weeks back at Sonoma, looking forward to see how our NorCal hitters BobR and Boddie do with there new rides next year. Boddie was running mid 11's in his Trackhawk in background.

Super nice guy.
Very helpful and friendly.
Had the pleasure of racing him a few years back.
He'd give you the shirt off his back.

Any one on here know which type and brand of motor Bodie runs now?

Congratulations goes out to Bob, Geseppi, and the crew. You guys let them know you were there to play. Great job.

[quote=pittsburghracer]. Funny thing...after all of the guessing and adjustments we did during the season we went right back to our race one setup for the final 2 races and it came back around.

If you don't test, you don't learn, correct
I'm sure power management is the key to keeping traction, especially going to tracks with weather you've never raced at
What is your new car going to be?

I'm curious as to just how slippery these tracks are? I know it's no prep, but the track has to get pretty good after they start running.

I was pulling for you and Bruder..The Vixen looked like it was turned up a notch or two. Good luck next year Bob!

Is there a reason for new car? Things you learned? Or just time.

I does seem to have built some interest in drag racing by the youts... otherwise its not my thing.

Did you say "youts"?

BobR...any idea why Megalodon was a no show for many of the races?

Was truly a pleasure to watch the way you guys presented yourselves and the way you raced. Nice having an "inside source" here. Thanks!

I did not realize it is a back half car. Are any others? I figured they all are chassis cars. Good luck next season I'm sure new car will help a ton.

Not sure a lot of folks here know the history of Bobs car. Maybe he can share some of its history. They have been running that car for a very long time. It was fast with a nitrous small block, a blown small block, a turbo small block and blown hemi and a turbo hemi I think I got them all. I have no doubt that Bob, Jason and Giuseppe will get the new car sorted out in short order..

I sure hope they do away with these cowardly first round call outs next year. That’s all they talked about for the first 25 minutes tonight.

Can't say I blamed Ryan for doing it though. Especially after Birdman lifting and giving Murillo the win to lock up the championship last year. I thought it was funny that no one b!tched about it when Boosted was doing it for Kayla. One of the main reasons she finished as high in points as she did.



Tim

Gotta agree on losing the callout deal; it seems to add an unpleasant sidebar, and kinda kinks the outcome.

I gotta ask, BobR, why a new Mustang body? (I don't have a problem with it, just curious)

At the speeds they're running, I'd think aero would be a big consideration.

It is hard for me in my area to see the Mustang and Vixen run. I have a hard time routing for a Mustang over a Challenger. I know Bobs car has a Hemi in but it's still a Ford. Sorry Bob.

I understand. I am a Mopar guy as is my brother. Giuseppe is a Ford guy so our car is a compromise to both of our preferences. Giuseppe gets the body and I get the motor. FWIW our official team car is a Durango SRT.

It's Ford-ified with MoPower.

Off Topic, but what do most of you guys do for a living? not everyone can have hotrod shop, engine shop or a tuning shop that does well enough to float at least a couple hundred thousand dollars for the season to go race 9 events. is everyone self made? I would love to do this at a different level but the cost is so much money to be competitive(just to run a weekend series at the local track). how crazy expensive is this. and please don't say if you have to ask you can't afford because that is a BS answer.
There has to be a entrance cost because 40K just doesn't get donated?
the 100k at the end of the year is coming from somewhere?
There is the cost of a rig to tow and stay in, Food, Just taking time off from your job to be at the track Thursday night early Friday morning then get back home to be at work on Monday. I know my boss would not be happy if I told him I was going to work 3 days a week for the next 9 or 10 weeks because I was going racing. I think I would be asked to go back out the front door and don't come back

I feel this isn't just a grass roots racer thing by any stretch

I have not read nor heard anyone say where this money comes from.

Please help me understand, I just don't get it.

Thanks for all the inside info, you and your team presented yourselves well, what real racers are like. I was routing for you! I look forward to watch how the new car shakes out next season.
