Things are so slow around here ...................

two tumble weeds would be considered a race. So I figured I'd throw out a thought I had a bit a go. Maybe throwing it out is what I should do. When looking at the possible drivers for the SST the category of NASCAR crawled up and there I see Steve Wallace (I don't know his history on dirt and don't care to go look) Kenny Wallace (That can't miss) and Ricky Stenhouse (a reported up and coming star I thought). No matter the age or updated version, it got me thinkin..........I wonder how many if any drivers from NASCAR might end up coming over and tryin this? Given the outside chance that sponsorship for next year is not to be found and for some lets face it........no matter how fun it must be crankin along at 190 MPH the situation to be a back marker might not be as enjoyable if there is a chance to go join this SHOW. Given a mans coffer is well padded and a career change is not much of a change other than travel arrangements that is. I ask simply a two part I guess: If a driver finds himself suddenly available to get out or be forced out of dodge would he (or she) be able to and have time to get a team on board. For the sake of saying sometime around Daytona crunch time?

The oldest thing on the planet is shooting down new ideas...it's too easy. If Nascar can get to where they are with pavement racing, be like watching paint dry compared to the SST series.

Things may be slow for now but TOG said a few things back there are some interesting things in the mix that we should hear about some time in the future. Hopefully the near future. I think it had to do with NASCAR, maybe Dodge and teams. Not sure and can't find the that thread but I had me interested.

When it comes to Robby Gordon there are always "some interesting things in the mix."

"db shooting down new ideas seems to be normal for some planet members," being a race promoter for 17 yrs when i came home from working on the track last night the post i saw on here was totally uncalled for and i would like to thank whoever deleted it. if you think sst is doomed from the start your opinion shoud't be expressed on a publc forum.I personaly think two tumble weeds or a three legged goat race at bristol would be more exciting than a race at pocano for that reason sst will be very sucessful your taking a race scattered over 50 acres and commpresing it to 5 acres spectators want to see all the race, they want to bee on top of the action, as for drivers that draw spectators i dont know who was at the test but i would say kenny wallace, magrath, pastrana ,carmicheal and you always need a jimmy spencer james stewart can always make things exciting

Yah things are slow - but the Speed Energy Facebook page keeps me interested. It's amazing how rabid they are in Mexico about Speed Energy. Not to mention there is a lot of booty pics posted there.

Is Red Bull pulling out of Mexico because Speed Energy is the best selling energy drink there?

Rock on
