Maybe Ill put the SLK on the 50 state legal list and the L on the race car list.

Illusions · 11-08-2009, 07:35 PM

I won't pay to be on a list. I go to the track to race and see how well the truck does. I don't grudge race or race for money. my gate fee is good enough. but doesn't matter anyway since the blazer is a turtle.

I go to the track to have fun. once money is involved the fun ends.

I agree with you.

I spend enough money I dont have on this hobby to go betting more money I dont have on it. If others want to bet money on my truck by all means feel welcome but thats not how I roll.

BTW I think Derrick(sp?) and I have had the most successful TDL races on here and none of them involved money.

BAD BOB · 11-08-2009, 10:13 PM

just post the final decision of what it will consist of. i can really read all this stuff and understand it so just clarify once it is decided! Thanks

red99pony · 11-08-2009, 10:47 PM

i might pay a small fee once but i won't pay each race. you are already out 15 to get in the gate plus fuel to get there. besides money would take the fun out of it anyway, always does.

x2 on the one time fee.

bwelch · 11-09-2009, 02:15 AM

I dont think there will be much participation with the one time fee thing personally. If somebody calls me out then I probably want waste the time to come if the end prize is a $100 gift card at walmart. I just want go to the track two weeks and I will have my $100 to spend at walmart.I still think we should have a CHP bracket race with a small buy in and if you breake out then you can buy back in once if you want.

Illusions · 11-09-2009, 07:55 AM

I've never been involved with a TDL that money was tied to and will not start now. You want money to be involved in races? Well thats where th e grudge section and budget grudge section is all about NOT the TDL. TDL should be for fun. Grudge racing sections should be for all the smack talk and money races.

Illusions · 11-09-2009, 11:10 AM

Hell I can drive it down the track if needed, I just choose not to.

But the blazer has just as much time and effort if not more from Jr then me. I fund it and turn wrenches when needed. I could put my 98Lb "driver/mechanic in training" in the seat again too and let him spray it.

but now would i turn a better or worse time than the normal wheelman? Is it worth the gamble?

But all this is moot because "OUR" vehicle is real slow and would be a bottom dweller anyway.

Harry · 11-09-2009, 11:20 AM

I think way too much emphasis is put on the Own it Don't Own it thing. Who cares just Race and if you don't want to, Don't!!!

bwelch · 11-09-2009, 04:15 PM

What do you mean smack talk? The $20 would be set in stone and there would be no smack talk. Thats why I dont grudge race because of the shit talk. I know if there is a chance to win $500 at the end of the season there will be more people envolved with it. And Im not talking shit when I say this but I have yet to see some of yall at the track running your cars for fun. So do you think a $100 gift certificate will make you want to run. Just eat Ramen Noodles two times a week and there is your $20 to race with.

Illusions · 11-09-2009, 04:35 PM

We run the truck at the track, it has just been in pieces for the past month to month and a half. I know we will be back once its put back together. If you haven't seen us there then you must not have been there those nights. there is video on this site of the blazer. maybe it was a ghost but it sure was slow enough for everyone to get a real good look at it. I do not know how you could have missed it. Maybe you fell asleep waiting for us to get past the 60 foot mark.

bwelch · 11-09-2009, 05:02 PM

Is the TDL gonna require us to get weighed on a cat certified scale.

Thank You.
Have at it. It's all yours.

Can you add something to the list for broke cars like mine. Seems like a lot of cars are broke more than they run, especially mine.
.......and these people need to be removed or what ever you can come up with.

Robert Holton · 11-09-2009, 05:07 PM
