BRUTON SMITH SAID IT WORKED


Current NASCAR

All the work Bruton Smith toiled over must have worked because there was plenty of bumping and pushing and even some good racing tonite.

And through it all Joey somehow passed Kevin and held on to his lead through some late race cautions. Ricky Stenhouse and Elliot Saddler beat and banged all the way to the checker flag finishing second and fifth and afterwards Ricky came to apologize to Elliott but Elliott said he left the door open and it was racing short track style. So after a rain delay the race was started on a real clean track and those drivers put on a real good show. I know most either was there or saw it on the TV.

Now did anyone see the outcome another way?

We started using a 3 link setup on dirt years ago, I think Barney rubble had them on his flintstone flyer. The first I saw one in action was in the 60s on a quarter mile track. I was chasing T.C Hunt (passing him was not in the stars ) and his car #00 was crooked on the straights but took a step way out as it entered the turn,every time.. Bob Moore remembers that real good.. That 55 chevy ran skewed with the rear hung out to the right and when it was throwed into a turn and power added it would hike up and it was gone.

We put that kinda setup under a 56 using truk arms and rods at different angles and first time out the dang setup would unload and throw you into the fence. You couldnt get it sideways enough to keep it under you. Finally it was set right on the angles and it worked like a charm, until you were hit. I lost a left front spindle from a hit and the front never touched the ground until I slowed . We used that setup from about 66 until the middle 80s when I parked it..

changing radio stations?? or maybe adjusting the air conditioning?? No really I think if you will recapture the moment he was turning the blowers off and on that go to each brake independently trying to get a good feel out of the braking and not lock them up or burn them up I think that was Watkins Glenn wasnt it??

Now that makes a lot of sense there. Technology today is hard to keep up with and this is definitely down sneaky Chads line. He thinks so far out of the box its ridiculous. And to catch a thief you have to kinda play like one if you know what I mean

Its on a three link system worked fine even when it pulled the left front up that car was hooked up on dirt or pavement. It had a Dart motor in here and tons of torque
