Kyle, Best idea on that last line, a stretched limo type cart that is painted in bright flourescent colors so that we will be noticed and our names on each side of the cart "1i" and "Speedo" and it also has to have cool lookin/high dollar chrome wheels ,seen some at Lawton on Carts in the past several weeks when there and a built in cooler for frosty beverages and snacks of all sorts and a GPS system in case we have to many frosty beverages and get lost and sirius radio and on board computer and a 19" TV screen built in so we can keep up with all the latest motorsports news and a cubby hole full of Goody's Headache Powder and Pepto Bismol for all that racetrack food and for those headaches and so on and we can buy that economy bottle and use if needed and or hand them out to owners and drivers who look like they could use a powder when strollin the pit area in our cart.

U can drive!!!.



You could wear a pimp daddy hat with a big feather sticking out of it too. Have some gold chains around your neck as well.

im thinkin spinners for the wheels and we would need electric windows to roll up when annoying people walk up and try to talk to us. we would need a small trailer in case anyone wanted a ride . we couldnt load the cart down with spare shocks , tools, and tires, etc. a popcorn machine on the back would be nice and maybe an icee machine that dispenses icees, margaritas, and slushy beer. we would have to get a Wesmar engine just to pull the thing. people would point at us alot. that happens to cool people. big knobby tires with "1i" and "71" cut into the tread so when we run over people they would know who it was.

Well if money wasn't an option, I would start by putting together a 10 car midget team and go run the Chili Bowl, the team would consist of some regular Oklahoma drivers Whit Gastineau, Buddy Johnson, Jeff Rozelle, and Shawn Jorski oh and Beau Gastineau now that he is also a driver, with the remaining slots being filled by the Gastineau Racing pit crew members and of course would have to reserve an OU machine for Kenny.

But then as for a touring team, I would definitely build a Sprint Team with top of the line stuff for Whit Gastineau to run some ASCS National and WoO races, including running both the 360 and 410 portions of the Knoxville Nationals, and would on occasion throw Beau and Buddy into a ride just for some excitement. 

Then I would also have to set Jeff Rozelle and Shawn Jorski up with a pair of top of the line modifieds and have a couple extra cars such that Isaac Hamby and Glen Chapa could get out and play around as well. 

I would have several rigs, not only for the race team, but also to be able to load our Jalopies in and go out and have a good time traveling the country.

Maybe his old jeep would then actually get done. Because everytime we go to work on it we get sidetracked working on race cars. We'd have to keep him around because I don't do brakes and alignments.

If $$ were no object I would buy a large tract of land & build a replica of the 1/2 mile ---1/4 mile setup that was Fairgrounds Speedway.

In the paved pit area would be carport-type awnings you could pull the trailer under to be in the shade .I would have those giant A/C systems like they have at some truckstops that blow the cold air to the truck cabs that would blow cold air in the trailer .Heat in the winter.

A go-cart /slick track outside 1 end of the track with go-carts like pole position has.

A car wash at the other end of the track and fix it so the water from the car wash would automatically go back on the track to keep in the moisture.

A cafeteria style snack bar like Outlaw has.

Just a few thoughts.

Feel free to add on.
