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.

It is amazing what some people can do when they are pumped up on somethings, like a 110 Lb. mother lifting the front of a car off of her child after the bumper jack failed pinning him under the car shock That happened many years ago, long before fake news was invented and used work

Thanks for the heads up. I heard there will be some dates added which is really going to make it tough on me and my team.

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. popcorn

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 !

I cant believe you said that. I was thinking the same exact thing. Larsen hates Lutz but I guess now Bobby Ducotte feels the same about Larson.
Larson got body slammed pretty good there.

Yes, but I had forgotten about it.

I'll give Bobby credit, when he got out of the car he took it right to Larson. I honestly think Larson was expecting to stand there being Billy Bad A$$ running his mouth while Bobby took it. If that was the case he was mistaken.

I'm gonna guess that wasn't Ducotte's first rodeo.

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.

I hear ya but that's no reason to want to throw down on a guy. Especially at a big event where everybody is watching you.
Think it gave Larson a black eye in the sport now.

I t amazes me that any racers would think that another racer that guesses at the tree is a coward shruggy
Tell all them guys to pick on me first, please devil hammer
I've cut one perfect light on a Pro tree due to seeing the prestage and stage bulbs dim when all three of the yellows came on for the old pro .4 tree with regular bulbs boogie grin
Did I say I don't like LED bulbs whiney
I've felt the urge to leave on a .4 pro tree before the lights came on, I've red lighted by .0001 also whiney
Where is the Imogi with the axe man cutting down the tree grin

This not a Pro tree. It's instant green, no yellow lights. A guess is just that, a guess. All drivers have the opportunity to guess. Any legal way to win is a win.

On an instant green there is still a bit of rollout that allows a launch before you see the green, maybe they could rewire the tree to give a red light when the pre-stage goes out.

The guessers are going to weed themselves out. It’s not a cheap series to run and you aren’t going to guess 4 or 5 times in a row. Be on your game and handle your end of the deal. Some starters are predictable so it may be possible to wire a random delay into the tree.

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.
