Looks like Hodnett is ride hunting, or may have one lined up. Sux to lose another good car in PA, or from the sport period.

Pretty Woman, what were they demanding?

That is really to bad!! Good team, good driver and good crew chief. Another big hit for sprint car racing!!!

Did the driver and crew chief have guns to anybody's head???

Well that makes sense then.

Once again, you have no clue what you are talking about.

Greg drove the rig alot of the time. Ask the car owners. In fact, he recently drove it to Reading PA for a DOT inspection for the Klines.

Most full time drivers get paid 50 percent when they win. So why is Greg any different?

Once again, you don't have a clue.

What does your statement have to do with your original statement other than back pedalling?

In any form of business you need to strike when you're hot. Lee and Greg have been hot the past 2 years. As long as they aren't stealing or cheating whats wrong with them getting paid for their results? I bet Rahmers not getting paid what he did just a few years ago.

raybeard - don't go bringng Rahmer into this - the grove board will light up and someone will get kicked off!!

just kidding...well...maybe not

Lincoln 1845 ft/.35 mile T1=118MPH 
Eldora 2287 ft/.43mile T3=135MPH
Port 2716 ft/.51 mile T3=TBD
Grove 2792 ft/.53 mile T3=135MPH
Selinsgrove 2847 ft/.54 mile T1=136MPH

weather." Van May

Any full-time driver is going to get at least 40 percent but all good drivers get 50. Anybody who races for less would be crazy to risk life and limb and not get paid. I have been told Schatz gets 100%.

I hate to think I'm in the loop, I don't even try, but I'd put my money on Greg and Lee being together in 2011 with quality equipment.

Are you saying Trone Motorsports is also switching to XXX? LOL!

For some reason when I post over there the thread disappears.

I didn't say anything about Trone Motorsports, and it's not where I expect Hodnett to end up.

I am assuming the Klines are giving Hodnett their equipment?

Yes , it is sad that we not only lose another car in Pa Posseland , but we lose two great people who were great car owners and who invested allot of time and money into the sport we all love . While I know this will be a ongoing regular process of car owners retiring from this sport and business for various reasons , many questions arise . These questions are many , but the one obvious reason is THE COST FACTOR . I think that while promoters , sanctioning groups want to improve there product, it is the number one point to address , as it is slowly decaying the overall sport , not just sprint car racing .

WE will miss the Kline's , and I wish them well in all their endeavors . They were always very friendly , courteous , and friendly to all fans who stopped by there trailer after or before the races .

Prettywomen I dont think the 50$ per race that the Klines gave Brian for driving the truck and doing tires and going to the shop 3 or 4 times a week put them under dirthawk the cars from the 22 belong to lee and 1 of the motors.

I would hope he doesn't end up in the 39 car. That would ruin his career. Nobody could do anything in it, Esh or Kauffman.

sorry hooak60 but that just might be the deal, but with lees cars and motors they will be ok !!!

The problem with the 39 was not the drivers...IF Hodnett went there he would be fine

Thats a pretty big IF there haha
