timing system
A timing system is the track’s electronics that measure race timing. It uses sensors to figure out when a car launches and when it reaches key points on the track.
Term
mile an hour beam
That “beam” is a sensor placed along the track to measure speed. When the car passes it, the system records the speed and can trigger what the cameras show.
Term
1080 60 frames per second
That phrase means the video was high-definition (1080p) and very smooth (60 pictures per second). It makes it easier to see what’s happening during fast runs.
Term
reaction times
Reaction time is how fast the driver reacts at the start. Lower reaction time usually means the car got moving sooner after the signal.
Term
ET
ET means “elapsed time,” basically how long the car took to go down the track. It’s one of the main numbers people look at to judge a run.
Term
incrementals
Incrementals are timing checkpoints before the finish line. They show how the car is doing partway down the track, not just at the end.

Qualifying is when racers run timed laps (or runs) to see who’s fastest. Your qualifying result helps decide where you start in the bracket for the head-to-head races.
Term
minimum
In these races, there’s a target time or cutoff for each class. If a driver runs faster than that cutoff, they’re basically beating the rules’ baseline and can take control of the competition.
Term
elapsed time
Those numbers like “6.10” and “6.11” are how many seconds it took the car to run the track. Lower time usually means the car ran faster.

LIVE
I
it's still jamming
Hey I gotta keep the blood pumping baby. I'm I'm right up against the wall brother gonna crash and burn any minute
We got a we got Troy in Oregon staying up for the past 30 plus hours to bring the show to you tonight
So dedication at its finest. I woke up yesterday morning at a quarter to seven and I'm still up
That's it you're uh
We're just dedicated I say we I'm gonna be included in this. We're just dedicated to bringing the people what they want
The house what a big dog
Glad to hear from Walt always good to see him in the chat. He was on time. My brother was just he was like waiting. He's ready
Quick shout out to Walt and mr. Bobby Fazio
They have a show every Tuesday the Tuesday tell-all you haven't already give them a listen on Tuesdays
Also PJ and Brian have the B double O take double B double O take double O show
Also on Mondays pre looting this show
They didn't do it this week, but also give them a listen
Just a reminder. Why is gonna be bad that you called him Brian?
That's my man I
You know how good I am you know how good I am with names well
I'd rather have Tyler mad at me than Brian mad at me, right?
Yeah, I don't know like Brian's always mad at me
I don't so like I don't know what it's like to have Tyler mad at me because he never mad at me
But Brian always mad
And everybody I'm just getting TB and PJ and all the all the double O is next up now too many of them out there man
But uh, please like share subscribe
Um
Yeah, another week. What do you know? That's my guy Brian Batson in the house. I think right there. Oh, yeah
Zombie mode. Oh brother. I I hit every truck stop for a fresh refill of coffee
But the problem was every place I stopped the coffee was like scalding hot like hot hot
And I didn't know it because I always grab two cups
For one so it doesn't burn my hands and for two it keeps it cold keeps it hotter for longer rather insulation
But it shielded me from knowing that I should have dropped a couple cubes in there and so I'd get in the car
I'm like about pound this coffee. I'm good for 150 more miles and I'll get another one
Well, I had to sip it. I couldn't get it down. I couldn't get it down quick enough and
Just a little bit south of Tacoma
I'm
You know got the crew set to about 80 and all of a sudden the semi is laying on the horn
I wake up and in the old Honda's sliding under the trailer
I'm going under the trailer
Back in the lane and I'm wide I'm good now like I'm pumped, you know
But then like I but then the the adrenaline wear off the adrenaline crash from that plus being tired anyway
Like the next one's even worse and
I'm off to the left side now and I'm like on the buzzer strips, you know
blah blah blah and
Like like it worked its way into my dreams
So they didn't even wake me up right out of like right away
And I just kept rolling down the strip, but I think it kind of grabbed my tire and kept me locked in and
So like I just blah blah for a while and I'm finally like oh, that's not a good sound
And so I stopped at a rest stop I get a 20 minute power nap and
and
Then wake up and I felt pretty spry
I felt pretty good to go, you know and the Sun starts to come up
So the body rhythm starting to kick in like hey, we're supposed to be awake right now. Yeah, brother
It was just like fast and fierce. I about put the Honda
right under she was gonna go right under there clean and
And then I make it for a long long ways. I'm within an hour of the house
That last hour is the worst. Oh buddy like matter where and I knew but it's like well
I'm gonna have one more hour to go just push through right, which is like not a good decision for me
and like I'm putting other people
Like it was not a smart move, you know, but like trying to get home see my family see my kids see my wife and
Just by the grace of the good Lord
I wake up and I was one lane over
And I've been in the fast lane all day and whoever's in the middle lane should have been in the like on the shoulder
They were going slow. I wake up and the
boy, I'm coming up on them like
Turn three about to put the slingshot on him, but I about parked it in the back of a RAV4 and
That was kind of the final straw
pulled over took some deep breaths
Walked around a parking lot got the blood pumping finally made it home and it was a
Risky business, but we got it done
Sounds like a sketchy trip. I had a meeting at 830 had a staff meeting at 830, man
my people depend on me and I
Had meetings stacked in a way that I couldn't really take advantage of the extra day at the hotel and mission
I
Had or I wouldn't have got home. I'd still be on the road, you know, I'd have been stuck in meetings. So
You got to do what you got to do, you know
Absolutely well your trip started
On the way home from mission in Canada
So I got a couple questions for you. How was the car count? I know that a
Canada is kind of tough because there's a lot of people who don't have passports and stuff like that. It's kind of
Difficult to get across the border and then on the other hand
It's there's a national event and there's a divisional
So I could see the car count being really heavy and I can also see the car count being really light
I just didn't know what to expect on that front
You were there
What do you and I don't have a great frame of reference for what a sports nationals is supposed to look like right?
I've never been to a sports gnats
And so I don't have a great frame of reference to say, you know
I was at the one here and this one looks like that, but I
Will say I there were certainly cars that were missing that I would have expected to be there
If not for the divisional for the national right out here on the West Coast
We don't have a lot of them and the ones we do have are along a long ways from each other
They're spread out
So far throughout the season that being able to stack a couple natties early on and kind of get your footing and figure out
What you're gonna do for the rest of the year seems appealing to me if I was
You know, maybe trying to take a swing in a world championship or something like that. So I
Expected especially for kind of an inaugural historical event with the weather forecast that we had which was
Incredible, it was a hundred and fifty below
DA was minus 150 on Thursday morning
For Q1
You know, it didn't stay that way got consistently warmer throughout the weekend, but like it was still really great conditions
Especially early in the day
So I expected a few more that said I think we wound up I mean you could count the sheet
I think we wound up in the in them, you know, low 200s total
and
You know, we we had some some pretty good feet man top. Jacks her field was I thought pretty impressive. I
Mean it wasn't like a massive field, but like I thought it was pretty good and
The racing was good. So like, you know, I think everybody wishes there would have been a few more
But if they keep bringing it back as fun as it was as well as it went as nice as that facility is and
The pits were pretty packed man
Like if you go all the way back behind the motocross track and behind where they got all the movie
The movie cars that are stored back there. I mean there was people all throughout the pits
It wasn't like a bunch of empty holes everywhere
So what you're saying is is even if they wanted more how much more could they fit type of a deal?
Yeah, and they could have fit some more, but it wasn't like you didn't drive around the pits and say where is everybody?
You know what I mean? So no, it was it was great, man
It was I thought it was awesome and the racing was killer. So
One of the one of the things that I I did catch on to and my buddy Mike even commented on it, too
Is the live feed if you weren't there you were there?
Bro best in the game. Oh my gosh, I would bet
Or I would say that
This live feed put NHRA TV even the pro section like when they're actually doing like the full coverage
To Shane just how awesome it was
Yeah, and like, you know, I don't want to dog too hard on the NHRA TV feed
Just because like it's a lot to do that and to go to all the events, right?
Whereas like the mission people they just have to do it there, right?
So they can have dedicated people they got a dedicated drone pilot
They have this system hooked in throughout the track and it's hooked into the timing system
So they don't even have to have somebody hitting the switches when someone trips the 660 the camera angle changes
And when they trip the mile an hour beam the camera view changes for the finish line, right?
So
It's all integrated within their timing system
And then they have a dedicated drone pilot. They had people walking around with cameras
I mean the mission rates way live feed is the best in the game. They use top notch equipment
It was 1080 60 frames per second all weekend long. So it was awesome
There's no way that, you know
NHRA TV could run around the country with a setup like that
You know and but it was cool, right? It definitely was a was a treat
Of a live feed and NHRA was like, we're not gonna bring our people. We'll just tap into yours
Right and that was the right move like well, absolutely. They knocked it out of the park. It's incredible. I also liked how
They would put the driver's names on the screen
So you knew who was driving even if I mean you were doing a great job announcing but heck you could see
Everything you got the name reaction times you got, you know
They would give you incrementals on some of them get ET in mile an hour when lights on the screen
It was no, it's it's something else man
And they do that like every weekend like they got cameras under the tower and under the bridge
And you can tune in on any Saturday night when they're running their points races
And they do that very same thing every weekend for somebody T races. It's awesome. Yeah, one of uh,
Also missions social media game is next level too. Yeah, they post a lot one of the my favorite videos
I saw this weekend. Did you see the transmission blow up in Kevin Carter's calm car?
Yeah, I did Kevin Carter
It was Dean
But yeah, brother. I was with call in the lap and he scattered that thing. I mean it was a boomer
Yeah, they're gone
It went straight to all the neutrals. Oh, buddy. Yeah, Bluetooth mode
Activated it was and it made like a crazy mushroom cloud. I mean, it wasn't just your regular old, you know, broke a shaft and
Bound her up good like
Exploded that thing. Yeah, kaboom if you haven't seen it visit mission
Mission raceways Facebook page. You'll you'll find it quick. Yeah, pretty cool to see that
um
another question and
Since there's since missions pretty close to
America, I didn't know if if that was a big difference is Canadian racing any different than
Back home racing
No, not really. I think what's cool is you get to see the European versions of the hot rods that we all love, right? So
Like a Pontiac Parisian
Right, you you couldn't get a Parisian in the United States, right? You can't get an Akkadian in the United States
I saw a Catalina Pontiac Catalina wagon
That like I'd catch felonies to have that car like it was ridiculous
So that was cool
I mean when I came across the border the very first thing that happened is I almost t-bone a 66 Akkadian like the first vehicle
I saw in
Canada was a 66 Chevy Akkadian
Um, and the second car I saw was a 58 Catalina wagon, you know, and there's people out there racing
You know stocker old stockers and super stockers
Yeah, just beautiful hot rods. It was really really cool. So the racing really similar, you know, the accents
Different, but everything else was totally the same. So it was great. Yeah, I love a let me some
people who take pride in their equipment and
Definitely showed via the live stream as well some cool hot rods that people have been racing a long time
I did want us to switch to kilometers on the scoreboard just like once or twice just so, you know, we could go 520
But top alcohol with kilometers on the board would have been a lot of fun
That would have been insane. Also, I did notice on the live stream
They have the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit and degrees Celsius
So you could cross I gave him the weather one morning and I was like it's 78 degrees and my guy's like brother
We don't know what we that means
How many kilometers below?
Yeah, they had no idea what I was talking about
Well, uh, should we get into to some of the results that happened first we did have
yeah
the national event if uh
If there was nothing else you want to talk about no and like just these are historic results because it's the first ever national event
at mission raceway park. So
um, you know, these drivers will go down as the first national event winners
um
At mission raceway park and that was something that was really cool to be a part of right in the end
No one's ever going to remember who the who announced the first one, but I'll know and
And that's something that like I'll remember that forever like in 30 years when someone talks about, you know, some national event at mission raceway park
I'm gonna tell my kids like I called the first national event at that facility and so that was really special to me
It was cool to share in that moment with
With the people who were there and I think the people were there understood, you know, kind of what they were a part of and there was a special vibe
um that weekend so
And and we can start off in comp and what was cool
In 1999 jeff lane won what they called
uh
A national it wasn't actually a national but they called it like the sportsman nationals
It was a it was a divisional but
jeff lane won in uh, you know, like a 91 or something uh, pauney at grand am
That car was there with a new owner racing in superpro
And so there's a picture of that thing when he won in 1999 with his autograph and and going down the track
in comp
And
This weekend it would that same car was there with somebody else behind the wheel racing it in superpro and so that was kind of cool
Kind of a cool thing to see as a cool
roundabout story for sure
Yeah, so uh jeff lane picking up another win in mission
Um pretty cool. He was uh racing the
The modified car is that right? Uh, it's a Ralph ralph van papkin rvp in the a conna walter and jeff lane absolutely
destroyed
The index at the national event
Um, not only not only his own but i'm i'm pretty positive that he moved the whole class
so
If you're in the process of building an e-super modified
You should probably just sell it
because jeff lane
bombed it 70 under uh frown
or like qualifying
70 under regardless is gonna hurt your index
Not good
But it was fun to watch, you know, like I said, we started the day uh on thursday at 150 below
On the da. Um, so it was fast out there and uh
And yeah, he he bombed it. Um, he went 65 under um
In the semi finals against dean carter
So like he was just like
Wheeling that thing like he didn't care. We're not lifting
Oh, yeah, and that was cool. So jeff lane getting another one. Um add into the list
That was pretty cool. And it wouldn't be the last time that the lanes were on the dance floor that weekend
But rvp shout out to rvp because he
had a heads up
with cody lane
And pulled it off
It's uh, it's hard not to root for ralph the guys
I'm not gonna say he's very young
And he's been doing it a really long time and the guys just as dedicated as he was
20 30 40 years ago
Yeah, well and and when he had the heads up and you know, no disrespect to ralph, but he's sitting across from cody lane. I'm like
My guy's cooked
Right, like cody's gonna walk him, you know dog walking across the finish line
and ralph's like double oh one
And and pulls it out in the heads up against cody. Um
Had a chance to take out jeff in the final which for ralph. I mean
The story the story no matter who you are right if if your road to the national event wally went through
cody and jeff
You know in like that would have been a pretty special moment for ralph
I know he was stoked on on his day that he had he would have liked to see it go the other way but um
Shout out to rvp, man. Absolutely. Also that win light against and against cody
Gotta boost your confidence in the in the final against jeff, right? Oh, yeah, man. It's like and I don't know where
I don't know where ralph found whatever he found because it that car never has
Had great short times
for the type of car that it is
But it does now and it's really fast and so whatever whatever ralph found man, it
Turned that thing around and and he's always been someone that you gotta
You know, you certainly don't want to look over or take lightly but like
He's got the performance at both ends of the track now. He knows how to wheel that thing
um
So looking to looking to see how ralph does throughout the rest of the year definitely has a has a shot to make some noise
Yes, sir another driver
Move into super stock that's been uh on fire lately
Also got through a couple world champs on his way to the super stock win rick mckinney
Over willy bill bush maker
bill was one red in the final round, but uh, that's
Rick was no slouch the worst light of the day for rick
16 on the tree
I think that's freaking stout in a super stocker in any car really but especially a super stocker up the bottom
No, man, and I was pulling for him. Um, he won a lucas oil race in
Or maybe a national. I don't remember if it's lucas oil or national
in
81
in 86
And in 91 boom boom. I think the winner nationals actually he won the winner nationals
in 81 86 and 91
Like my guys have let like he's been racing for a long long long time
Um, and I never root against anybody, but I definitely root for people and I was rooting for billy bush maker
Uh
And you know came up came up on the wrong side of it on the starting line
Had to be up on the wheel because rick mckinney has been an absolute wrecking ball
and um
and so he had to be up on the wheel and uh a little too up on the wheel
And uh rick mckinney parking it on the dance floor, man
Absolutely moving on to
stock eliminator
Was it ever surprised to see jody laying in the winter circle?
No, it's not
but um, if there was ever a time
where I thought
They might have had his number
It was it was this weekend because the move that ashlee tomson and her team made in q2
Was impressive the conditions were not as good as they were in q1
And not really even close to as good
and
ashlee I think may have been the only person
To move up the board maybe one other person who was at the bottom of the sheet
But shot up all the way to the number two spot in a big way and it was like oh
They got a party they got something and the unfortunate thing for them is it was going to be a two qualifier
uh
Day
But we had to run alcohol at a certain time in the day for the fans and different things like that for the gate
Yeah, well, we needed some filler so they added a third run
And not everybody got the memo in the pits
Um, and I believe that was the case uh for the tomson crew
So they thought that was their final qualifier. Yeah and moonshot
Right where they wanted to put it
Turned out there was one more after that it all worked out anyway, obviously
and and ashlee finds herself
In her first national event final round up against somebody that
They know and love we all know and love that had to been a special moment
And then jody lang does jody lang. Thanks man, you know
What are you gonna do another another great box score?
Looking here at dry gray central jody's worst light of the day he had
He did have one no time which he just took the took the tree but his worst light was 15
Off the bottom and he's foot breaking that thing. He's not
He's not no two-step and he's holding the holding the rpms with his foot and swapping feet. So
He's got the smallest tires they make
I can say when you put 10 inch rims on it like
Murder in the tree
Um, one thing that I thought was kind of cool and we'll maybe get to this in a little bit on the the division side, but
In stock illuminator
Daniel 12 second cars
Ran the field. So yeah, man
Oh, and jody was just wrecking shop on both sides. Um, I believe he was in the semi as a super stock too. Yeah, he was he was
Yeah, it was it was impressive man. Jody was on a heater and
You know, he did what he's supposed to do and uh, and ashley would probably not drive that one too much different
If she had to do it again, right? I mean, he's he's 004 and she's 18
Like not in a you know, ashley was in a tough spot and she drove that lap
About as good as you could drive it given the circumstances and uh,
Just it just didn't work out man. So I'd I'd take 18 take minimal in a final any day in stock illuminator
Yeah, yeah, no, it was um, she she drove it like you're supposed to drive it man. Uh, he just didn't leave her anywhere to go
so
Yeah, great job, uh to ashley tomson
Of course stellar job from jody laying one of the best to ever do it
Getting it done again in stock
Absolutely
We did have a family double up
Starting in super cop justin jewel getting the win over danie hotter
Justin
002 takes seven in the final just a nasty nasty lap come good. So man and and my guy danie. Let's go 100
See you later bud
Danny how about how about taking a seventh thou with a with a
98
Thousand advantage. Yeah, man. That's just making sure you're getting it done
Uh, no and danie had a great day, right took out marco lesby
Earlier in the day took down paul nero
To work his way towards the final round and um, you know, danie had a great day just, uh
Didn't bring his best stuff to the final and i'm sure he'd be the first one to tell you that
And and in super comp man like you can't
You can't do that, right? Um
Especially when the guy next year is 002, you know, they're gonna make you pay. Um, really similar
You know top speeds so the finish line look was one that like
He had to know that he was just dead to rights, you know, he crosses at 165
I think justin's somewhere right around, you know 168 169
You know, he knew what was about to happen
Absolutely, so i'm gonna call it right now
I don't know if we're going right into we're not going in we're gonna we're going to go into top dragster instead of top sportsman
Mv my mvp of the weeks of all time
Is the jewel family?
The first national event at mission raceway park
Justin gets it done
In super comp
And then jessica
Gets it done
In top dragster
Just
crazy way
To to win your first final round
But also your brother. Is it her brother? Yeah, I think they're brother and sister. Yeah, brother and sister
Your brother wins his first walley or national event in the same weekend
It was cool, man
And like the the excitement that they had when they pulled both cars into the winner circle
Um watching that moment knowing that like at some point throughout the week or that morning
Somebody at some point was like wouldn't it be cool if we both won, you know, wouldn't it be cool if we doubled up?
and and they did it and
You know that that just a super special moment
That's one that no matter what they accomplish in their racing career from here on out
Like that's going to be forever
At or very near the top of both of their
You know kind of lists of accomplishments and memories and moments in their racing career
And that was a it was really cool to be a part of it and watch it man
absolutely, uh, I I've always wanted to uh
Double up with with one of my siblings. We've come close a couple of times
I think there's been a win in a in a semi-final. I'm a couple of times, but uh
racing my brother in the final of Pomona
Is something that I'll never forget and I'm sure for
For the jewel family that this is something that will forever be one of the best weekends
Of the oh, yeah
And the and the top jacks are final was sick because benji martin who's like that dude's really good man
Um, and and he wouldn't he wasn't done for the weekend
Uh, benji, let's go 20. Jessica's 21 right behind him. He's on a 78. She's on a 99
So, I mean, they're you know, basically leave the starting line
Right at the same time. Yeah locked in all the way down. She puts it dead on for he takes a little tiny bit too much
He's a thow under I mean it was just
Yeah, something like that. It was a hell of a drag race, man
um
It was that's what you want to see in a final round when you when you dial up a final round and um, they put on a show
And um, you know, benji just took a little too much stripe and jessica was um, you know dead on for 25 total
And headed to the dance floor man. So shout out to jessica and justin you are my
MVP the greatest of all time of the week
Jessica and justin jewel
congratulations
Put a stamp on it
super street
Carrie huber picks up his first walle in his first final round
um, tell me this
since uh
Since
Super street doesn't have a national points chase. Did this race count towards their division score?
I'm not sure man. It's something I we I thought about that earlier in the day and I meant to ask and I and I never did
I'm not sure that it counts for anything
Um, other than bragging rights. I could be wrong. Maybe it does. Um
So maybe it's a double divisional for but I don't know that they would
I don't I doubt they would do that right one class gets a double and and nobody else gets a double divisional. Um
Yeah, I don't know that it counted for anything man other than a national event win and a trophy and
inaugural winner of the
rad torque systems canadian sports gnats
Hey winning a national is a big deal no matter if it counts towards points or not. Yeah
Yeah, I'm not sure. I'm not sure what they did there. It's a good question though, but uh, how about a
21 pack in the final uh super street that's gonna win you a lot of races
um, yeah, also
what what is it with uh
This race everybody is just crushed in the tree. Um, there was one missed 28
But other than that he was stuck in the teens and in double O's the rest of the day
Yeah, man, he had to take out nicky brown
He had to take out dusty ward to get there and and nicky was just filthy this weekend. Um
and so
Uh, just a you know, great job. Carrie was up on the wheel and ready to go
You know and martin rachel was too. Larry minor allen maicham on his way
To the final round. Um
He was the number one qualifier
uh trip zip
And um, you know like martin rachel was was wheeling it so
Hold on
I can't I hear you
Are you are you talking weird can't hear you buddy
I
I'm gonna kick myself out and come back in
Can you hear me now? Yeah. Oh, there we go
My my god. Oh, brother. It was here was even my fault
Where were we sorry about that man, we were on a roll brother
Oh
Troy's thinking he's losing his mind on such a little sleep, but it's it's me that I'm the problem
Well, dude, and I'm sweating. I'm I'm sweating it out. I'm in the hot box at home right now
It is like a hunsky in the podcast room right now. Um
I'm
Pardon my uh complexion the greasiness. Uh, it is hot where I'm sitting right now, but I'm doing it for y'all
I
Where were we sorry about that?
Well, we talked about we finished up super street. That was all we're on just onto the next one
Uh, we did super comp
Top sportsman. Yep
Let me tell you a little something. Let me before we get to the race. Let me tell you a little something about top sportsmen
Uh, it was kind of fun thursday coming in. There's all this, you know, this jive going around
Out in the world about top and top and who's fast and who's slow and this and that and the third
My guy erin steinke comes up first round of qualifying
And goat like obliterates the minimum in top sportsmen and top dragster like just sends them
And it was so badass, uh, just you know, he didn't have to
Um, and he definitely did it on purpose. You know, I mean he's like six under and and I mean he's a lot under
Right like not even close to the minimum
Um, so that was fun to see. Um, he had the air to do it and that was cool
But we get to the final
Pass of the day on thursday for qualifying steinke sitting there
at a 6 11
number one
Kirk lance has been number two all day
Like right behind right behind him
And I'm looking at the sheet and I'm like man, there's a chance but the window is really really small
I get a text message on my phone
Says we're taking it. We're going number one. We're putting a a to number two
And I'm like, okay
Let's see it. Kirk lance goes up there 6 10 with a three number one spot
The day is done final pass of the day called their shot got it inside
of a 6 11
With a called shot to be the number one qualifier is one of the coolest things I've ever seen
and with the narrative going out there right now like
it's so hard to uh
You know be consistent in a 6 10 car
Ask Kirk lance and erin steinke and
They might beg to differ because those guys could put those cars anywhere
They wanted anytime it was qualifying steinke just put a number on the dial board
And run it every single time
It was impressive, man. Was uh was Kirk lands and uh, is that who alan makeham works for?
Yeah, I think alan helps him jimmy lewis. Yeah, jimmy lewis was helping him
That's an x pro mod car that they've turned into a top sportsman car
It's a beautiful beautiful machine. Um, and it hauls the mail
Is it an x pro mod car or is that still it could be a
Probably yeah, I mean, I don't know a couple more degrees and it takes some weight out of it and you're probably back in the field, but
Yeah, I mean it hauls ass and uh, and they're getting that thing figured out and they they can put it just about wherever they want to
Um, and so that was really impressive man a lot of fun to watch those guys go fast and do it with such precision. It was really cool
Well, we got our number one qualifier, but how about our winner?
Sean herbst taken down mike lucas and what was
Kind of an uneventful final round um 17 to a 28 just both laying down laps
Sean getting the win
Well, yeah, and he was stellar on the tree most of the two
And just driving lights out man and just round by round being consistent doing what he had to do
And that's what it takes right and so
My guy david koalski. I don't know if you saw this thing. It's like a 70 nova green deal
Monster monster blower sticking out of the hood. It's a dual funding car cage street legal dragon drive car
That runs 690s
It's got power windows. It's got remote start all on this guy's phone
He can roll the windows down on his phone. He can start it on his phone
Like the sickest thing i've ever seen man
Super fun to watch that cargo down the track. Is it like a fiberglass deal or is it a
Actual like root still root and quarters deal. I don't know what the what it's made out of but
Does it matter care? Yeah, I don't really care
If it's if it's all steel all glass or if it's all carbon fiber. It is a bad bad machine
Absolutely, I would love to see that thing in person. I got a mission
It's cool
moving on super gas josh mellow off takes down greg here in
What I think is one of the hardest
cars to drive against greg's
about
1004 at 119
Yeah, buddy. That's like a solid 50 mile an hour difference
Well, and it was it was a tight semi-final, right? You had nathan huber mellow off and greg here in the semi-final
Your number one number three and number six finishers in division six last year. So the cream rises to the top
Um, and it ends up being greg and josh
in the final round and
Again, right on an index class when you're both leaving at the same time if you're 52 up front
You're putting yourself in a deep deep hole and uh, and josh made him pay
Got down there turned on the windlight. I think he got there 43
Just nothing he could do
yes
This is a another event full of first-time winners. I've got his first wall right in his first final round
um
Sportsman motorcycle our favorite class
That we know nothing about
These guys are crazy though. These guys are crazy and lindsay miller
Man, she was driving a junior. We've talked about her before driving a junior like a couple years ago
We come one windlight away
On the other side of the ladder from a father daughter final round for the natty
And her dad steve miller came up just short against riley toth
And then riley
Why you gotta be so nasty?
trip zip in the final round trip zip dead 33 total
on a bike
for the natty like
It was the it was the sickest pass of the whole weekend
Um, just absolutely filthy lindsay. She's 17 up front
It doesn't have a prayer five that wonder that's a pretty nasty lap on a bike
Also, if if you would have told riley toth that
His best lap of the weekend was second round where he was eight dead on zero
He probably would have been okay with that
But then he won 11 ups himself
003 dead zero in the final or trips at dead three excuse me a total and three total on a bike
Is my guy can wheel it like filthy filthy stuff
And lindsay right if you told her she could cut 17s on the tree all day. She'd take it
Absolutely. I think that uh
You need to load up riley and and take him back east with you so that
That other bike guy hit the big him and kasey bach could go run the table on these fools all weekend log man. It was impressive stuff
Uh, so congrats to riley. Congrats to lindsay. I mean, what an amazing start to her young career
On the bike. She was walking around with a big smile. I didn't get a chance to talk to a ton of people throughout the day
But I ran into her in the lanes one time and just
Smile as big as they come having a time of her life
And uh, so that was pretty cool to see
Um, and she still got the number one on the back of that bike for division six for now
And we'll see how she can roll through the rest of the season
But yeah, hell of a lap man. It was it was pretty special. Congrats to riley top
Congratulations again to all of our national event victory winners first time
Should we we should probably pick up the pace a little bit. We've got a guest
Let's bring him on as we run through the lucas stuff and uh knock that out and then talk talk to him a little bit
You ready jd
Yeah, we're dialed
We had you sitting for a while brother. There's a lot to go over man. It's a big weekend. No all good
we're uh
We're sounding a little sleepy because
Troy had a rough night
Well, we're gonna
Pick up the energy with with jd in the house
hopefully
and uh
What's uh, let's hear from your your friends in the comments too. Let's uh, let's run through the divisional
Uh, up their mission. We don't mean to diminish your accomplishments here, but we we have a podcast
We got a run here and just like look at us just like it at a at a race
We're gonna we're gonna run through the sportsman. We gave the national people all the spotlight
And now for the divisional race. We're just gonna burn through them
um
Congratulations to you all. Uh, this is not uh
Please do not take offense to the speed at which we go through these results. You want to start in stock eliminator?
Yes, sir
Stock eliminator brian thompson in the p stock automatic taken on the o-stock automatic of rick green
so, uh
Only I have a second split, but the faster of the two cars was dialed
1249
Yeah, buddy like chate dialed 1249 and chasing in the final and in stock eliminator
Uh, my guy brian thompson the drop top fox body
It was hot yesterday and he pulled the lanes with the top down and his 5.0
Like a boss and it was like it was the coolest thing
Did you just quote vanilla eyes right there? I might have
It was cool, man. Shout out to brian thompson. He gets past dian burton bruce floe deen
Barry shays green and ultimately rick green
um
Shout out to james mantel in the pacer
um
The 77 pacer dialed in 14s
All the way to the semifinals. Uh, that was pretty impressive
JD if you're picking a stalker in the final round you are you going to drive the 1249 or the 13o?
I think 13o just for the character. Truthfully, you know, you love it. I've been saying this all year
The the the people who drive the the slower cars know what they're doing. They get to race
Way longer than most of them
Yeah, they get to see the race in real time. You can say you know
Like if you're dial if you're if you're in an eight-second stalker, these guys get a race for five more seconds than you
Yeah, every single lap way more seat time
I mean it only makes sense. It's double the seat time
Sometimes slow car wins, man
comp eliminated the aforementioned cody lane father
son double up in the comp cars
um
They also could be a uh standout for the greatest of all time of this week. Um
Honorable mention for them
I'm taking on dean carter got hit the best of dean this time
Ben
Dean
For the bad luck he had in the final joe lock puts it in the sand trap the day before at the end to qualify
Can't make the call or doesn't know whether he could have or not. He didn't
So dean's able to roll it up take the beams push it back
That puts him
in position for a single
So he comes up second round
Puts it in the beams rolls it back comes up for third round against ryan water ryan water turns it red
To go to the final round so it doesn't have to race water turns it red dean carters in the final
Uh, and then scatters the transmission and puts all the fluid on the track
um
To give cody lane the easy look at the finish line
But I mean dean dean used up all of his luck in the first three rounds like there was none left for him in the final
No luck at all unbelievable
Well, I guess he got lucky that it happened where it did. Let's put it that way. Yeah
I'd rather it happened there than at 1320 feet
Super stock final round nick shepherd picks up his second lucas oil
Wally, um, I believe this is his first in the super stalker. Um, he's been working really hard
Um to get that thing working good and it's starting to pay off for him. Um, he took down
tie gainer
Um, our boy dylan's twin in the final round the real tie gainer
The real the real tie gainer not timu tie
Um, I think nick might have a couple super comps. I know he's got at least one and they were having such a hard time with that car
It was just blowing the tires off and qualifying. Um, having a rough rough time
Uh, they got a dial then he's rolling through the rounds yesterday. He comes up for his single in the semis and
Blows him off and I'm like, oh no like the worst time right all of a sudden like it's been it's been perfect all day
and he just cooks up
Comes back up for the final and tie's been driving lights out and and that car hooks and books and and i'm not even watching anything
but the back tire
And nick lets it go and just lights him up again and i'm like, oh man
I knew he wanted that and I look up and tides light is red. I'm like, no way nine thou red tie was up on the wheel
um, you know, just maybe got a little too antsy
Uh, he was ready to go right? He wanted to give nick the business and um, they were ready to go to battle and
Lucky break for for nick shepherd and those are the breaks and I know he was super excited
He'd rather take it down to the finish line and and see who could turn on the wind light
but that's part of the game and and um, and that's how you know the chips fall sometimes so
Shout out to nick shepherd. They worked their asses off all weekend to get to that spot. So
um
Even though it wasn't decided at the finish line certainly well earned victory
for nick shepherd
Super comp mark loftess takes down dylan howe in the final round
um, also
Uh, got his first while like man, there's a lot of first time winners. I didn't realize how many
Tatters and borelas in the winner circle, baby
dude
I mean
I'm all about the ups wet borelas
um, if I had a car personally to put them on
um, I think I would put put them on it just because
I'm getting I must be getting old because the quieter the vehicle the more I like it
Yeah, you know, especially my daily that's that's what I'm all about
Shout out to mark dylan
Dylan killed a bunch of mile an hour
He they came up right after the dean carter deal and there was a ton of gold dust and some spray and a whole lot of drag
Brand new rubber. Um, so it was faster than it was
right before that
um, a lot of traction and uh, he killed a bunch of mile an hour. He was still six thou under
And uh, shout out to mark loftess man. Congratulations
Super gas
former podcasty
Cooper chun lights it up for his first super gas

uh
She she also won in boise so um, sandy on a killer year so far sandy's been filthy man
Absolutely, but cooper got the best ever in the final round
So he's a three category
Wally winner now super comp top dragster
And now super gas and dale dryden's hot rod beautiful don davis machine
Um, and you know, he was getting it done. There was a couple ones that probably shouldn't have went his way
but he figured it out at the other end
And um and got himself to the final round. It was really cool
uh
To see coop working it in a super gas ride. So shout out coop chun
Swiss army knife. This is this is something to bring up. So

Nowhere to go cody cumpton getting the win. So that was cool for cody, but riley like that dude can ride a motorcycle, man
Yes, sir speaking of people
Who can ride motorcycles?
We got
Our guest jd collection tonight joining us jd. Would you ever get on a sportsman motorcycle?
I think the given pick. I think you know, we let her rip at portland one night probably, you know, save to say
Who's got the old school vfr with the single-sided swing arm, man, that's like, oh g stuff right there
It's it's a it's a unit for sure. It's a bad hot rod. Yes david's
JD you're one of the hottest drivers, um, both in appearance and in skill level on the west coast right now
Um last two weekends, you've parked it in the winter circle three times
Two times at the summer showdown and one time at pacific raceways
The first win getting your first big check. Um, tell us a little bit about
uh, that experience that you had and then
What what you love most about this couple last couple weekends
Well, this has been a crazy experience because like two years ago in the el camino
I run her up friday. It was like the first one. I run her it up. I was like
Damn, I can't get one of the showcase. It's like I need one of those
So come back this year. I ran. I was running pretty good at the fling and redding. I was driving. Okay
So I was like, okay. Well, we have momentum going into
You know summer showdown after smoking my driveline three weeks before
Um, but we go there. I'm letting go. Okay. You know, I get to like round ones like my toughest round, obviously
and uh
Once we get there, I kind of got in the groove had some luck go my way
You know, if I'm a good buddy chasing the final
I think the way my year's been going is like the only way I've won that if he if he was red really
I'd be perfect. I'm probably not turning a lamp on if he's green, you know
You drove great that weekend and it was cool to just come down
you've been supporting the race like you said for a couple years now and and um
like you're you're one of those guys who like
hasn't been necessarily stacking up
You know a million wins, but always like right there just and um, so cool to like like
It's breakout. It's his breakout season man
Like my guys turning on all the wind lights and and it was a cool way to start the weekend to be able to come down
Hand you that trophy and hand you that big check had no idea
Uh that you turn around on sunday and follow it up with the big one. That was pretty awesome
Yeah, I was it was feeling good saturday too, but yeah, kind of just stopped me
You know, I was feeling good just met her on the ladder. She's like not today. I was like, okay
She can do that
Yeah, so uh you picked up, uh 10 grand in in the final there. So I got uh a question you you're a big lover of ketchup
Would you rather take
$10,000 cash
Or $20,000 worth of ketchup
That's a great question. Um depends a day. I feel like at this point
I mean it's a 50-50 gamble if we got some at home we're chilling with 10k, you know
I'm out at home, you know, we're doing emergency 20k worth of ketchup
Because I got a roll of it
Big ketchup guy over here. You'll never see me without it
Braden says that uh, he bets that you have a bottle of ketchup on the bedside next to you
Um, can you confirm or deny this?
We can deny that straight up took it out before this so we're chilling
He just cleaned it out. It was empty. He just threw it away. I had to sleep the room before so everyone get mad about anything, you know
I'm saying
Absolutely. Um another question for you. Uh ava was not there for your first win
She was there on saturday
Then she left on sunday and you win again. Was ava there for this win on uh last weekend? No
Yeah
She hasn't actually been there for any of them so like the ongoing joke is she just can't be there unless I want to you know
But she doesn't like
Brother that's a tough streak to be like i'm not superstitious or anything
But like some of those things in race and it's like hey, you know, I think I got to be superstitious almost a little bit now
It keeps going it's gonna be bad
Yeah, no like
You guys are about to break up
East Texas girlfriend. Yeah, I think you should stay home this weekend. It's it's a big money race
Yeah, when my fire rolls around I might just have to be like we're busy
We have to take a break
Well, uh, you do a lot of uh racing there locally you uh also have an el camino that you race um
On any given day, would you rather race the el camino or the dragster?
It depends. I mean if elco's working how it should be and there's really no issues with it
I honestly love that car and it's dialed in just as good as the dragster on any given day really
And I love the bottom compared to top. I mean, I love them both but
Top I mean going a quarter mile in pro bracket. I just I feel like it's nothing I could beat it really. It's just so fun
So I mean both are good. I think the elco really most cases besides it being 690s that kind of sucks
You know, we're getting chased every time but
Yeah
Hey
What'd you say park I said I said gentle just tell you it's not that hard. Yeah, no, it's dude that guy
That guy this weekend
right, so he won he won
uh
The a big check at the showdown comes to comes to woodburn this weekend for the footbreak race
Wins it on saturday
Wins the two grand footbreak race on saturday
Turns around sunday in the specialty race and hops in the little falcon
uh little falcon camino thing
And wins the pickup class
Like dude
JD and jed basque are on heaters right now
brother
Um, so we did just get done talking about a national and divisional event that took place. Um
Have you ever competed in super cop and and how is your experience there? Well, will we see you back in a car soon?
um
Speaking of that, I did go to vegas for the double and uh, we could not have been
30 on the tree. So I looked at my dad and said
Well breminton's running points on saturday. So we left friday night and went straight straight to breminton just made it
Go three rounds, maybe
I think next step is national really
Yeah, you're gonna run a national in super cop. Yeah, hopefully super street too
Up at yaddle. Yeah, I think we're gonna shove super comp away. I might let avidry funny enough on that one
She'll probably whip at that event
So what you're saying is you're not expecting to win then at the national. Yeah, she's gonna be there. What are you doing?
Yeah, let me see i'll just tell us super comp's coming up. So that way like I just don't see her then we're good
Well, maybe maybe like if you both raced then uh, yeah, he went to he went for the single divisional
So what jd did was he went and raced a divisional and then he drove how many hours is it?
I think it's like 18 or something like that
18 hours home
Because he wasn't doing very good for her for points racing for her. I sound like zack server
I mean laine samar did buy me dinner. So it was kind of worth it
18 hours for dinner. I'm I'm I'm there did it come up get an hourly dinner and 50 bucks can't go wrong
Here let's here's one we got from a from one of our longtime listeners first-time callers
We need to know what is the key to your success and why is it cooper chun?
Why is it cooper chun unreal?
Oh, well, that's such a crazy question
Seriously like who's your biggest help inspiration help?
Uh, who do you think helps get you there the most?
Obviously my parents with helping with literally everything I can ask for and on that note it is cooper cooper does help quite a bit too
And ava she does a lot for me too since really all those and cooper's dad david
All those guys give me and the m&m boys
They're just all around great people. Yeah pretty solid squad. I know jason was pretty stoked for you, man. He was pretty proud of you
Yeah, I talked to him pretty frequently. So I was glad to get that monkey off my back went in finally, so
This might be a difficult question to answer
You you do a lot of racing locally around home and obviously trace the pling in vegas. What is your favorite track to race at?
um
I think it's like a tie kind of like montana. I love montana
Great track surface. It's pretty prime
And then redding was actually pretty smooth one at this last time
So it's like between those they're like they're beautiful tracks. I'd go to any race item
But definitely
Yeah, yeah, the air is not great
But I was just talking to stevie wong on the phone today and he was he was getting pumped because he's about to head out there for the
Uh for the divisional coming up and he's like man, you got to get out
It's like a beautiful place great to hang out and then redding man
They just put down all new surface out there tore that whole thing up over the winter all brand new concrete
I've never been there to race yet, but uh, I've been told that on halloween weekend
Where where most people will be at the national, um, or a lot of people anyway
Uh, they're gonna have a big money bracket race down there
Uh on halloween weekend. So I will not be racing at the national because I don't do that
Yeah
Someday that'd be fun. But I think I'm gonna make the trip down there man. Check it out
Chad axford. I think he's gonna run another one back down there. So I've been trying to recruit people. So
I think we're going to the biggest natty
Yeah, I was talking last race. I'll probably be there. Yeah
Nice my national days are behind me already. So
They've come and gone. Yeah, so uh speaking of redding, um, I have a
Friend of yours saying to tell a story about redding and uber's
What do you know about redding? Ubers pretty good one
We were we were out drinking with like andy taylor and kevin sheer and all those and jeremy sears and all those guys being cooper were
And I was like, well, it's like it's like 2 a.m
And like I was like cooper's like, well, we can sleep people's motorhomes. We got offered. I was like, I'll just pay an uber
I'm like trying we have a hotel. I'm trying to go sleep in a good bed
Well, we get to the gate and the dude's like I order it. It goes to the airport
I don't know why but he's like, well, I can't come the direction like dude. That's where you're supposed to be going right now
He's like
It's just not safe, man. And I was like, well, what if I give like 50 bucks?
Like I'll just give you all handy at 50 when you get here, you know, like
need to get home
he's like
It was like you just heard nothing right just goes mute and cooper's like, yeah, I think he's thinking about it like we might get a go
Well, you see the phone hang up. Just out of nowhere. It's like dude. Just like no
It was like, yeah, then end up sleeping. I think cooper slept on my trailer floor with one blank in a pillow
I slept with a hammock chair kind of deal
It was just a little it was pretty cold down there, right?
Can't tell you I don't remember
It was it was decent. I don't it was probably cold. I don't know. We were warm
well, uh, I just
I was I was scrolling for stats and like little extra tidbits and little messages coming, you know, and uh
I you're my favorite of the crew now because uh
Of all the people who got the tag in the facebook post
When when coop post his winter circle picture just a few minutes ago. Yeah, I wouldn't one of them. I'm in the picture
He's pretty bad about forgetting about that. I'm in the picture coop and uh
Yep
About to unfriend right now. I would too. We went to ready or we went to phoenix one year or two song
He said thanks for my bud for coming. I was racing too
Man, oh man, thanks. Thanks for all the support jd. Appreciate you. I'm I'm pitted with you, dude
Uh, speaking of racing with coop, um, what is your record round win record versus coop? Is there a
I don't I know it's that but it's probably better. I don't say it
You know, I've probably been green three times. We've probably raised seven. So
And were you decent any of the greens?
Probably not. Oh, yeah, I know this last year. It's like I was no worse than probably double or nine
He's no better than 15. I just still don't see a lamp
I
What do you know about uh, a three wood you you good at golf?
Suck
Just there's a house. He brought here golf ball knocking off the side of there going through the window most likely
It was uh, yeah, I went to wildwood. It's of course. I hear over in Oregon. I believe and uh, I suck at golf
so when I like it's hot out and I really suck tend to get pretty pissed off and uh, I had a three wood going in and
18th hole there was no three wood in my bag
so
That was good as that one goes
Does uh, does your golf game um reflect your your drag racing strategy or or is that two completely?
Different sports like me two completely different, you know, not even close
Parker, I just saw we got confirmation from jody lane double divisional points for super stock
Or I mean for super street and uh, and he said they're 12 inch rims not 10s, but he keeps them clean
Two inches is a lot if you think about it it matters
Boys
Well, uh, jd, what do you got coming up um on your schedule?
What are you looking forward to and what is an event that
You do not plan on going to but you'd like to hit one day
Well, I know bremerton big bucks is this weekend. I was gonna go but I got offered a
Pro dragster zoomies to go around and woodburn
I'm kind of leaning towards that because that's been probably my bucket list car to run honestly is that things are so cool
So the Friday is david's car
Oh, duh
Yeah, it's like it's pretty neat car
I think at least I want to try that a pro bracket chase finally, you know
And then there's a five grander and spokane next weekend. I think I'm shooting to go to that
And then kind of after that's whatever I get told is that week really I don't know avid keeps the schedule for me
So it's whatever she tells me it's going on that week is probably going on that week
Wherever she's wherever wherever you're going and she's not
Most likely probably no, she's with me for less this summer. So we're hoping to see something
Hopefully turn on some more wind lights, but
Yeah, and also
Go ahead
Oh
The one race I probably want to go to Thanksgiving race. I really want to hit that but I don't know if my mom will let me get
Big family mom. So we'll see
Just bring her with you
We'll uh, we'll have Thanksgiving dinner. We're still celebrate
Yeah, you probably don't even have to tow a car. You can just fly in park or find a car for you
Or yeah, I'd make kuber take both dragsters probably realistically if park will let you race the kuda
He's a he's a big bottom guy. Yeah big bottom
Yeah
And all seriousness you guys have a pretty tight crew
Um, it's really fun to watch especially from the outside looking in but I got to experience it a little bit, uh
In woodburn this this last week
um
tell us, uh
How that kind of came about and and how much fun you all have
Well, I first met kuber and or kuber tie it all really at 2019
They showed up on my motorhome door just like kuber brought all of them. I just opened the door
They're all standing there like this is a good introduction
Well, we were taking them to west circumference finals in 2019
We used to have a big setup and all that so we took like I don't know how many juniors
It was like 10 or more. No prime. I don't know somewhere out there, you know
and then
His dad was like, well, you probably got to meet him. So dude comes up with a fling
I'm on the starting line watching my dad. He just taps me on shoulder. He says hey, I'm like
Oh, hi. He's like, well, your dad's taken me. He's figured I should come meet you like, okay
Nice to meet you
But then yeah, we've kind of integrated new people
Over the years like we met dunk and gray super cool. Dude. I don't know if you guys have met him
I know tribe has but he's a super cool dude
And yeah, it's like over the years. We just like we've grown together
So it's pretty cool to actually see it transform. We're always cheering each other on, you know, they're nothing out of spite for the most part
Just just enough got to keep things interesting. Yeah
Some days me and kubernetes always been good fun
We got team who ties in the chat right now
I see him out there in youtube land
The chat's been popping man. I've been watching it. I should have been watching it
It's been popping the whole time. They've been wanting to submit pictures live right now to the slideshow
Right on a good idea
It's a great idea. I mean, it's bad for you. It's it's good for us
I've previewed some of them the only acceptable one so far is kind of in the motorcycle picture
Yeah, there's a lot that are not probably podcast acceptable
Okay, we gotta we do have one more question from the chat
That I'd like to discuss does ketchup belong in the fridge?
Or or not
I don't think it's gonna matter comments everybody
Say what?
I said everybody everybody better answer their their opinion in comments the way I see it and you can tell me
If I'm wrong to write but you go to a denny's and there's ketchup on the table every time they don't keep it in the fridge
So I'm kind of on jd's side on this one. Yeah, it matters too much y'all nasty dog
As long as you're getting sick, you know, you're good to go
Warm ass ketchup. No, man. It's got to go in the fridge
mustard goes in the fridge
It goes in the fridge boys
I mean, like do you keep those in the fridge? Don't use it. I'll tell a one when you get them
And there's a oil cut. I don't yeah, I don't use them
Ketchup overrated them in barbecue sauce is way better than ketchup
I probably won't put barbecue sauce on my cheeseburger. That's just me, you know, we're being overrated
you know
How do I feel about coupons know how we feel about ketchup on tacos
That's a parker thing that is straight up a parker thing
Oh dude ketchup on a on a I'm talking an american taco. I'm talking ground pea beef
cheese shredded cheese lettuce
I mean, it's a pretty much a hamburger at that point. So why not the grossest thing I've ever seen?
Yeah, I'm not down. No
disgusting
Well, jd, we appreciate you coming on. Hopefully we didn't get you in too much trouble with your girlfriend
Is there anybody that you would like to thank before we close out the show?
Yeah, uh, my family obviously with hand in and them doing all that and supporting me in any way they can
And then the chuns they do literally everything for me that they can and like, uh, ava she's always there
Always supports me do she's like, where are you going this weekend? Well, I'm going across, you know multiple states. She's like, okay, well

And then her dad jim he'll like whenever the room wrote super comp. He'll help me
When I'm yeah
He'll let me do that and then her mom also
Helps me fly everywhere. So she and david everyone just helps. Hey, who's one more money this year?
You were kube. You probably won more money in him so far this year, huh?
I don't know. He probably hasn't math just thought it down right until the second year who won more money kube
I think I think jd's got you beat brother
I'd like to think so, but he did win that five grand or boysy
That's all you want a 10 grander
Will you double him up just last weekend?
I hope so you would think right? I mean, but he's probably won a 10 grander somewhere
Who knows right?
He's like with my contingency
Yeah
Dale's car. Oh, he oh he called flyer you did
No, no, it's crazy about that. Did he call flyer?
We were in redding
And this dude split like 2000 at the quarters or something like that
He's talking so much crap now that is like
Yeah, you get so so so semi's wound up getting more money than he did to win
damn near probably
I
Wanted to have cooper split in the super gas final
Well, he didn't get no contingency because there ain't I don't think there's a single sticker on that car. Is there there's a few
