Jr's win sunday was like done in style---------------BUT------------ could this have been because there was no drafting? Seems like if anyone got close both were wiggling all over the track. Maybe he can do it along vs having to depend on another to help.

I think the tires made the race interesting to say the least. Could this be the answer to making racing interesting again?

They were blistering tires on the right side on a regular basis,so if you ran hard tires could this slow them down going into the turns? Might be the solution to the problem. We have all said it needs something to slow the speed down,tires would do it.

So now lets see what happens next week out on the Gold coast, they might use this out there to control the speed but neverless I think Amys boyfriend might have found his mark sunday so now we wait---------------------------------or you know something else??????

We know who the queen of wiggling was on Saturday, don't we??!!

We keep saying "too much grip."

Pearson said it again in Daytona in February... "put 'em on some 10-inch bias ply tires and separate the men from the boys." 'Course, he had no way of knowing how quickly the gal would be separated, even with big, wide radials!

To much G R I P--------------------- Remember when we used to go skating on the road with our clamp on skates?? Yup those with Steel Wheels,you could round the corner with the best of them(because no one had GRIP) and talking off and Stopping was equal too,unless you fell, the you were scratched litterly, Then we started skating in basements and at church gathering rooms on level floors and it got slick then. So G R I P is the key to speed control is it not???????

Oh, those steel sidewalk skates... scuffed many a pair of shoes with those. We built our own skate boards with those things, too, long before anybody ever heard of nylon, plastic or whatever wheels. Busted my butt on that thing.

Then, at the roller rihnk, I had a wooden wheel break apart and ball bearings scatter all over the skate floor. 'Bout killed all the skaters in the rink, lol!

Must have been a ghost out there on the track I missed, Wasnt no car behind Jr after he left the green flag, Tony didnt have no follower either. Point is that the tires seperated them,oh sure some got close and attempted a draft but the wiggle without the giggle separated them quicker than a dew drop on a leaf. You bring those tires to a short track and its game on boys let the show begin.. B U T what do I know ,Im just an old drirt racer that knows the ride is in the slide -----------------------------------------------------------memories sideways
