Yeah people do care! Everybody that is near his rolling demo derby care about how much they are going to spend on repairs. He is not in go karts anymore z-bar.

Charlie has a good head on his shoulders, good equipment and is gaining knowledge every week. I think he will continue to grow as one of the areas top racers. I have seen him at Thunder Mountain and the wall seemed to be his biggest enemy .. and at Hummingbird with the great turn out they are getting in the LM division it is difficult for any one to get through the packed field of good drivers on the awesome little bull ring without a few donuts.

Good luck to all the racers this weekend!

racefuel01 I ran karts with him several times and have the smashed bodies to show for it.He would drill you if he could not get by you. He lacks patience. He also liked to side slam you if you tried to pass him. He acted like a baby one night at goodhope after the track called the whole medium class over for a bitch out after his superior driving display in the second heat race. I know this was a few years back now, but it still sounds like he has not changed much. Talent will take you places, and over aggressive pin balling will make for enemies. When he calms down and gets a grip he might be alright.

I ran with him in karts too and he never did that shit to me. bumped me from behind to let me know he was there but that's it. he is aggressive yes, but it takes him right to the front. does it not? everyone on here that bad mouths him and says hes a "rolling demo derby", just makes themselves sound a little jealous to me. yes he has some stuff to learn, but so does everyone in racing. he has a lot of talent and hes only headed in one direction, to the top.

Not jealous at all. I will not race that way. I have won many races in karts and have not needed to race people dirty. If you are faster then pass somebody,and not beat your way through them. There is a difference between aggressive and dirty. Yes his driving style may get him to the front, but many will not forget that the next time they meet? respect of your fellow drivers will go a long way when racing 2 or 3 wide.

500k a year and 60-80 hours of your time and a season that starts in January and ends in November ... That's what it takes to get " to the top " or do you mean racing against 1997 leaf spring bullets for 600 to win ??

I don't think everyone at the tracks he's racing at combined spends what a Bloomquist or Richards does to
Maintain an elite program

You're right. He'd be dq'd for running an aluminum motor in a steel block class.

A lot of guys bring good equipment every week and I am glad that they do! There are not many racers that are in the sport in hopes of making $.

no I don't race myself. I love watching latemodels race on the dirt and can see talent and top notch equipment when I see it. thanks bill, and yes I love watching Charles powell jr on the track. hes a definite up and coming racer. theres bumping and rubbing in all racing. if the guy behind you is faster and bumps you or sticks the nose of his car underneath you clearly stating hes there and gonna go by, get out of the way and let him by. we all know if a slower car is holding up a faster car its only a matter of time before the caution flag flys! any of you racers on here feel the same when you hit the track. good luck to everyone this weekend that's racing.

No we all don't. Real racers pass slower cars cleanly all the time. No talent dipshits intentionally spin the car in front of them.
