Yup woulda been way bigger of a class and less headache. I just seen Joe martin had to hang it up cause of money problems this is one of your better teams and they cant even keep up with the money being spent. You start losing guys like Joe you know there is a problem with the cash that guys are spending on theses (crate cars)
this is the first I heard of Joe hanging it up. If it's true, that is horrible news. One of the best guys in the sport. He did have one shitty year though. If it truly was because of financial reasons, it wasn't because he couldn't "keep up with the money", it was because he had some bad luck this year with getting caught up in some bad wrecks. I don't think anyone could afford to replace/rebuild a car as many times as he did!
