I promise you, Brian, there are still some wing car racers in Florida that can put you on the trailer. They are 20 years older than when I was there but some are still at it. Just have a wing race on this King and see what comes out of the woodwork. :laugh2:

I'd place a big stack on the table that no one will put me in the trailer in wings, Dave.

I have only raced a Gp 12 1 time in the last 15 or so years. I am very positive I won by a huge margin against guys that tace 12s every Saturday.

Bring it, Dave.

I wish I had that much time to play with these cars but, with work,raising a family, running the dogs,turkey hunting,fishing, kneeboarding and wake boarding my kids just don't think slots are very cool. So its stricktly a once a week thing if that.

First you need to get that King up and running..Then let Pete and Adam Crawley and Jeff Cox, Don Mathison and the other Old guys from the Div. 1 USRA that still live down there, know that you are the Best..Lets see what comes out of the woodwork..I have retired in 2000 after Winning the Tri-State 27 title..Won 5 out of 8 races and 2 of those by more than 50 laps.. Now I can't even think about pro racing as I have Rheumatoid Arthritis and it is getting worse by the day..Enjoy it while you can it will be gone before you know it..Get it going good and have a full track on the king and I will  cut a check to the First Place 12 or Hillbilly 12 for $100.00..1 Time only and at my discretion.. Weren't you a skinny quiet kid when I was down there.?

Oh no I've never been a quite kid. I have always spoke my mind. I was much smaller 15-20 years ago but by no means skinny. You can ask Adam and Pete I have beat them both many times at our monthly Gr12 class we used to have. Don will tell you he can never beat me either.

I'm very sorry to hear about your health problem with the arthritis. I have it in my hips, knees and feet. Sometimes I can't hardly walk.

Do y'all have rules posted anywhere?
