I dont know about some of you guys...

But I always loved watching heads up racing with a bunch of cars all running on the ragged edge of sanity.

To me, there's nothing more entertaining.
Those guys have some cajones. I have nothing but the highest respect for them.

After seeing all the vids I've seen of Brown Sugar kicking some ass, I was sickened to see it crashed. But that's the name of the game. If you race a stout car like that, it's GONNA HAPPEN. Only question is when.

It's nice to know it's under new ownership and being fixed. I hope to see it laying down the smack once again in all it's former glory. That's one stout car.




To me, he should have been pulling gears to get the
front end back down.... you sure cant expect to win
a race with the front up 6'(or more).... JMO

I know it. But we're talking some serious personalities here. When they pull it off, it sure is cool.

That's one thing I've never been able to find out. Whatever it was that thing sounded good.

i agree w rickster...when ur racing for big big$ u give it all u got i guess..lighten up i like that.




yep, and too bad wheelies don't win races either. Did you notice the Ford go bye him before his wheels came down?




I agree. That one was going to wreck. Driver has balls but no brains. These races pay a thousand or fiftenn hundred to win. Why risk the car on a run that was going no where. We race heads up so I understand the win at all costs mentallity but...

Good luck with the car Wayne.




Thanks......

You guys stop picken on Wayne

Rickster




I don't think anyone's picking on me... I wasn't driving, and if I was, that wouldn't have happened.....

Quote:

gus told me he had the bars in the truck with him and was trying to get him on the street but they would only track race but thats the past. how it comeing along?




I never saw him run it with bars, and he never mentioned having any when I bought it (not that I'd want them anyway )

It's coming along slowly......I've been busy with my GTS, working on a Top Fuel car, and taking my 4 bambino's camping whenever I can......

It's got a glide, and he went into second and it didn't go down......I know of an EASY way to get it down safely without lifting, but he didn't.....

Get-U-Sum had just bet $2,500 on that race (there wasn't a purse, it was all Grudge Race).....The Mustang got the break (he obviously left right after they staged and before the tree went down, which is perfectly OK), Brown Sugar was pulling on him, but when he started pedaling it to bring it down, that's when the Mustang went by....

Here are a few current pics.........

Thanks.....I've got some better pics of it, but they're HUGE and I don't feel like resizing them right this second..........

Yeah, I'm having quite a bit of fun with my GTS in a local Top Ten Street Car race that you enter, and have to defend your spot if someone calls you out.........

I did the clutch on Tim Cullinan's dragster at Chicago and Norwalk (I met Firecore Rick there ).......Tim may go to Brainerd and Reading, depending on funds......He's a nice guy.....and Rob Flynn is tuning.....

I have always been a fan of Flynn, he is one of the best IMO. Would like to see some video of the GTS if you have any.

Yeah, Rob's a GREAT guy.......Down to Earth.......and very intelligent.........There aren't too many Crew Chiefs I'd work for anymore......

I don't have any video of the car.......I usually race it at the Mid Night drags and go by myself......I'll try to get some and get it posted...

I guess that's a little more inspiring but he could have hurt the other racer. I usually don't second guess drivers but this one was pretty egregious.
