Congrats on the sweep Congratulations to Salty Dog and team on their sweep at Mt Vernon. Keep it up!!

Correct Website The correct website for Mt Vernon is: http://www.mvnspeedway.com

I agree Here's a case in point. (and I'm not bashing any driver, just using an example) On Sept 2, Chris Gray (modified) was black-flagged. On the Belle-clair website for the results for that date, it is stated that Chris was out for the rest of the year. Yet, he was racing the following...

Speedracer85 you assumed before you ever really asked. Way to bash a man after his BIG DOG win. Most people who make aqusations of cheating like you have,they are really upset because you, yourself or car are cheating and can't believe your car got beat! Khris's body is no different than the one...

Whether Voigt intentionally punted Salty or he just ran into him when Rick slowed for traffic doesn't matter. As they are told in the driver's meeting every week "If you run into someone, and they spin out, you will BOTH go to the back." Voigt got blackflagged because he refused to go to the...

Dirty Driving I've never come on here and bashed Rodney. In fact, I've always considered him a good, smooth driver. The incident Saturday night is another story. I was there, and what Rodney did was blatent, intentional, and totally uncalled for. Jerry Bruce was holding his line, it just...

There has been excellent racing at Belleville & Mt Vernon the last month or so with alot of passing, and we haven't got any more rain over here. The drivers know to set up for a dry-slick track. Are you saying that the "big dogs" at Pevely don't know what to do unless the track is tacky?

Martin a CLEAn driver? You'd better ask the Taylors about getting hit after the races were over by Frankie. How about his performance at Bell-clair Friday night in the heat race when he intentionally did a slide job across Saltys front nose for second place, it wasn't even for the win. Now...

justrunem14 We talked to UMP yesterday. They are just waiting for the final list from Kankakee. They hope to have the final newsletter posted by the weekend.

UMP points If you read the Ump points sheet for Oct 11, it said at the bottom that Final UMP points for 2004 would not be totalled until after the race at Crown Point. This was a make up feature for the race that was rained out at Kankakee. Only those drivers who qualified for the feature at...

Tunica Hotels Been to Tunica to gamble many times. There are nine hotel-casinos to choose from plus numerous motels in the area. Instead of me trying to remember them all, just go to http://www.tunicamiss.org/. That's the official website for Tunica County. It will give you websites and...

Call Rick's Towing (618)242-4500

Salty Dog You have the respect of your friends, fans, and fellow racers. Don't worry about ignorant people. You're a class act, Rick.

Didn't make Godfrey's banquet. Does anyone know if they gave trophies for the top ten in each class? What special awards did they give out and who got those?

Here are my votes for the most improved at Highland: Late Models: Got to be the Salty Dog 1S. The last half of the season, he proved he knew how to drive a late model. Can't wait to see what he can do next season. Modified: Chad Sellers-E55. This veteran driver seemed to find new life...
