To paraphrase Groucho Marx, "I wouldn't want to join a club that had BStrawser (if that really is his name) as a member".

Its BS Trouser....AKA "Poopy Pants"

Me, Strawser and Stan make up.1% of all hoseheads.

I've always thought I was a minority.

Are there even enough races left?  If I'm seeing it right, there are only 6.  That is a lot of places to finish ahead.  

The only way Gravel catches him is if Sweet gets injured and can't race.

No it is B Strawser - Truth Teller - And nobody wants to hear the truth anymore!!

The news and a lot of people would rather lie to your face than tell you the truth.  

I agree.  People are chicken to put there real name out there.  

one of the things i feel like is missing in central pa is a good points championship.  i think there's a central pa points championship of some sort but it's not something that doesn't get talked about much.  even the track championships seem more like an after thought...probably because some of the best guys don't go to the same track consistently especially on saturdays.

i bring it up because the season kind of ends unceremoniously...at least compared to other forms of racing.  it seems to trail off even though there are still races going on here and there.  the national open seems like the unofficial end to the season and i think port gets hosed with its outlaw date because of that.  

i don't know the solution and it probably doesn't matter to most people.  it adds to the emphasis that's placed on winning.  consistency in these parts doesn't get you much except maybe during pa speedweek where that title seems to have some prestige.  i'm enjoying the nascar playoffs and the f1 points battle so it would be cool to see something like that still going on with the 410s.

I agree.  Track championship in PA is nothing except who shows up the most really.  Speedweek same, there were what 12 guys? who showed to each speedweek show and I think 4 of them were outsiders Peck, Rico, Paulie and Haefertepe?  It really means very little who wins points in PA because of all that IMO. 

At least for Speedweek, the purse is fine (around 35K paid out per race), three things would have to happen IMO for Speedweek to get more notice:

1.  Separate speedweek point fund paying out top 10 or 12 in points who participate in the entire week, with a little something for those that compete in all the races but don't crack the top 10 or 12 at the end of the "week".  I KNOW, I should write a check, maybe use half the 50/50 for that each night and at the end of the week pay it out equally to the folks who showed for each night?   

2.  Cooperation, no other central PA track should run 410s the same night a Speedweek show is goin.  Run Late models non-wing etc... instead if track wants to run. 

3.  Include more tracks.  This has been discussed/beat to death, but a Speedweek at 5 tracks with only 8 of 50 PA guys going to every race isn't cutting it, IMO. 

Just my opinions here, PA speedweek should be a bigger deal but it isn't, it's not close to Ohio speedweek and it's behind Indiana Sprint Week and Indiana Midget Week as well.  That too will be argued, but unless you are a homer, you know it's true. 

Sweet, Big Cat or defanged Little Cat.  Never seen a year-long championship leader fall off like this, most not his fault but still he must be saying, whats next.  

You must mean Fox News.....

Too bad you can't handle the truth

Ok, since you're not afraid or chicken, what's your full name?  I'm sure people would love to see a real picture of you.  Not sure what kind of guy you really are?  But for me, I won't post my name or anything that could connect me to me, not because I'm afraid of what people here might think but I know the world we live in today.  Sometimes I enjoy a few Bud Lights before I check this forum (like tonight) and maybe don't do the best proof reading.  So in 20 years I don't want something I've said to be taken out of context and be labeled as a racist, snowflake or whatever the offensive term is at that time and get cancelled (kind of like a former NFL coach).

You are full of excuses and I don't do excuses.

My first name is Brian.  Could careless if people know my name. Like I said you are a chicken!  Like most of the people on this board.
