I was critical of you the other day regarding Kyle Larson and I was wrong and I apologize for that. I understand now that you are just doing your job and I can not fault you for doing that. I didn't trully understand it t the time but now I have a better idea of what you do.

I don't however apologize for my view of the Golden State Challenge Series, it's a watered down series and I understand changes are coming, but this year was by far the worst weekly competetition the GSC had.

What I don't understand is why so many people are putting Kyle Larson on such a high pedestal already. Is the kid good, without a doubt one of the best young drivers in California along with Shane Golobic, Keith Bloom & Zach Zimmerly even though he is from (WA) but for some to suggest that if Larson raced with the WOO he would finish in top 7-10 next year in points is ridiculous.

Lets look for a moment at other Cali drivers that have left Cali, Tyler Walker last years GSC Champ, what has he done since moving back to Penn, nothing close to what he did here last year, why is that because the competeition back in Penn is some of the best in this country. Don't believe me, how many races has it been since an outlaw won a main event in Penn vs the Posse something around 9 straight. TK, well he's been on the road-home-on the road-home this year and it has been up and down this year. When TK has been back in Cali this year just look at his record very impressive, I think he has 1 win outside of Cali and that was with the All Stars. Paul McMahan, this guy has done lots of racing and only by an injury this year did he get into the 91 car and he is 5-6th in points. Jason Myers is having a great year, but when he first started traveling with the outlaws it wasn't always easy or picture perfect, it took him a couple of years before he started winning regularly with them.

I think some on here are not dealing with reality when it comes to Cali racing, it's good but nowhere near the best in this country, Penn, Ohio and even Iowa I would say have better overall racing then Cali does. Larson is very talented, but I think some want to push him out there too soon, before he maybe ready, racing and winning in Cali is not the same as winning in the midwest or the east, competeition is much better out there.

Your apology to Gary Thomas seemed sincere. As far as your following commentary - look out and duck!

Hey little weiner, you should just close your goo gobler because everytime you type something its just adding to your moronic ideas of california racing. We have one of the best announcers and PR person in the buisness with gt!! And as far as drivers we have some very good ones in Suggs,BK,Bud,Zimmerly,Statler,Larson,Allard,Tk, Furr and Tarlton. Im sure its real easy to pass judgement when your butt is sitting in the stands. Go back to nascar, dirt racing doesn't morons like you!!!!

USAC/CRA is good too, but like the GSC they only run at most once a week. USAC Indiana and wings back there sometimes runs 3 or 4 times week. To compare the skills of our heroes with back East is like comparing a major league club to a farm team.

For a long time I disliked wings, because I saw WOO wings shows only, but went to the GSC at Tulare, Hanford and Watsonville this year and also the Civil War boys at Petaluma and I now would rather see a Norcal wing show than nonwing show down here in LaLa land. The exception being Ventura Raceway where we had over 50 360's last Sat. nite, regular and seniors. I was just told that Dan Simpson is taking over the GSC. What will that mean? Will they run more shows at Santa Maria, Hanford and Tulare? Maybe Bakersfield? I see the GSC has hired Dean Mills for next year,

I think TK is the most exciting driver I have seen since Damion took off the wing and came down here and kicked our butts.
