He doesn't have to be a bully out of the car he is not racing out of the car in the car is where the racing is and in the car nobody can match Kevin Bolland's rub and bump style I can see why people would be mad if they can't hang with 777 on the track but coming after him in the pits is not racing it's illegal and against the rules so you're saying that the other guys are bullies and doing illegal stuff but Kevin Bolland is bad get real michael myers. Everyone uses radios most tracks make you so it's not something you can use against him and driving over cars well if it's on the way to victory lane that's racing and he's not known for his exciting style of driving for sitting around petting cats and letting everyone pass him duh

Tracks require raceceivers now, no track allows 2 way radios you jack off. The tower can tell you info. and that is all with a raceceiver. The driver has no ability to communicate with a crew member. Running over cars is what gets him chased into his trailer like a little girl you idiot. Sounds like you know a lot about his "rub and bump" style. You do know now that you can come out of your closet since some states have legalized gay marriage.

Also you guys are acting like you are buying 10k motors...if you blow up a 602 it will cost you more to fix it than buying a new one...come on they are 3000 $ motors...lol.go buy new instead of putting blown up shit back together and costing yourself more money in the long run... next...the shocks are 135 $...really dude...I had a intagra fixed and it cost me 212 $...they are $135...not 800 $...for under 16, 000 $ you cqn hqve a top notch winning car...its cheap trust me...crate late model racing is out of hand ...this class looks like they took what everyone did in crate lates and put a rule in place to keep the car more even no matter who owns one.

Rocky has this dead on, I was thinking about getting a street stock again, and there out of hand, I might have to go this route, as long as they don't in 2 yrs go with 604's like they did with the crate late division and just leave it alone.

I totally agree !

You think you save money buying a DIRT license? Ask Charlie Holben, Brian Stenman, and Jack Sodeman what that got them. Ask them who paid their medical bills.

Just curious. Had their horrible accidents happened at Mercer, would any one of them be in any different predicament or better off? If so, can you tell us how?

On topic, I really hope this sportsman mod class takes off. And if I had the means at this time, I'd be all in.

Mike is just doing his usual dogging dirt & anything else that m.r.p is not involved in. Sure making Mr. Altman proud of his announcer.." insert sarcasm"

We need the class to help the mods gain cars not lose them, but keep this in mind. Last year I tried it with the difference being no dirt,no branded,tires or shocks,no registration fees,no permission to rebuild ur motor just have it properly inspected and tagged and nobody sticking their hand in ur pocket and no long rows. And the person starting it was a racer not someone that kicked the bigblocks out of Mercer, killed the six cylinder division, killed the west Penn mods, which was a great starter division and split the crate late models. I for one am not holding my breath. No cars got built last year but at least if a couple guys lay out the cash to do it and it dont happen it will be easy to jump into the 358 division after you pitch the worthless still wheels. Just saying.

Yes they would be better off. When tracks like the one they got hurt at carries only secondary insurance the track does not payout a dime until your personal insurance has run out.

Oh, it'll make her money, no doubt. The problem is, it'll make her money to the overall detriment of the people that support the class.

You must be irony impaired. She is one of the major reasons why BB racing is in trouble around here, yet you want to jump on the band wagon and trumpet yet another Crate division as the default fix for all that ails racing is this area. You really need to remove your nose from some of these promoters asses.

I was on here years ago predicting what would happen with Crate Lm's, and almost all of it has come true. The same thing will happen here. Cheating, favoritism, rules changes that favor those with money to burn, disillusioned teams, declining fields and interest. What makes anyone think this will be any different? And when the money runs out, she'll bail. Just like she did on the Big Blocks instead of trying to find a way to make it work.

So keep towing the company line and kissing promoters asses, Stock Stroker. Collectively, they are mostly the reason we have declining quality, quantity and spectator interest in dirt track racing in this region.

This area is turning into a dirt track racing rust belt, for lack of a better term.

crate divisions are support divisions... the tracks that understand that have fans and only one support division. the tracks that seem to think fans come to watch underpowered over weight cars go slow... typically have very few fans in the stands. Sharon and mercer are two good examples of this mentality. so you can point the finger at MRP or sharon but nothing has changed at mercer since the last management was in place. they are both in the same sinking ship. Lernerville has been successful with the same divisions for years aside from them you need to drive 3-4 hours north, east or west to see a crowded grandstand.

Just one question, to a person with all the answers. How many people came to watch the BB Mod's or Sprints at Mercer, and what are their purses? Does the attendance for each perspective division cover their purse?

I didn't think so. It's a business, one not to lose money!

Lots of race tracks around, maybe you should step-up and prove her wrong.

People got tired of watching 4 other slow divisions waiting to see the 2 worth watching. I along with a few others stopped coming when the fwd cars and mini mods showed up. Value of the show goes down and the cost goes up? thats when i go home.

The smart drivers communicate with a crew member before during and after the race Kevin Bolland is the only one smart enough to do it during the race he has a crew member in a bright vest that gives him signals nothing illegal about that but going into someone else's trailer is still illegal why would you keep bringing up how others break track rules and make it like Kevin Bolland is doing something wrong you just don't get it do you michael myers

I'll agree with this I've been a MRP supporter for years but this past season I just did not have the disire to go. To many divisions I've only sip pouted the specials and then they polluted them This area will never get it ,

Agreed, the only problem is, the cost of the cars keep going up, and the purses "CAN'T". the racers bitch, and car counts go down. does everyone want to pay $20 for the front gate to keep up with inflation?

Didn't think so!
