Good job Bobby you edited your pod cast from earlier. Very smart, but if your not guilty then why edit the video?
But lucky someone copied it before you edited it. You know the part where you are ripping on people that use a blinder. If anyone wants to see the unedited version just get ahold of me I will share it.

He shouldn’t have edited it. It’s his opinion. We all have one…..

Re: Driver Interviews
 

Dude that's not edited. Watch the whole thing. It's on Facebook and YouTube. But I'd rather you watch (3.5 million times) on YouTube and click on the commercials. Is it possible to edit a live video?

Hey Bob, first hope your done with your move. We are on our 4th month with renovations that were to be done at the beginning of January.

I like most class racers listen to your pod casts. I think it's great that you want to promote our classes. As you and all of us have said we are the greatest traveling car show on the planet. But if you are waiting for anyone from NHRA to promote our classes you are going to have a long wait. As Rush used to say with half my brain tied behind my back I could do a better job.

So knowing they aren't going to do it why don't we. Years ago for the Maple Grove Nationals they would tec us Sportsman racers at a mall about 5 miles away from the track. It was early and we would be off to the side and only bring our cars out enough so the officials could take a look at them. Then off to the track we would go.

With the half the Malls dying I would think you could find one that would let us do a car show on a Wednesday night before a race or a lot big enough. Make a list of everyone that is willing to participate. Grab up to 50 cars. And put on a car show. Find the local popular radio station. Depending on if they will broadcast from the site or just have a couple of their popular DJ's there with a tent and their vehicle with the radio's logo on it. Will change the price. I have done this on a small scale and it works. I didn't do the live broadcast but I did get the DJ's with an easy up tent and a van with their logo. For several days before that night of the show they would advertise that they were going to be there and for everyone to come and join them. It really wasn't that expensive and worked real well. They gave away some prizes and in this case I'm sure you could get the track to throw in some passes. I would include most all of the classes. Kids love Dragsters. Chuck Krepela had brought his Super Comp car to my shows a few times and it was a hit. I've done this at least 50 times. It's not that hard to do. And with great success. Not to put this all on you if you want help I would be more than happy to. The mall will probably want us to get liability insurance for the night. I have had to a couple of times also not a big deal and again not that expensive. BP

Thanks Bobby your interview with the Champ was very informative. Thanks again for the help.

Re: Driver Interviews
 

Hi Barry, this is a great idea and I have mentioned something similar to Kyle Koretsky and Shane Sweigart the new gm at Maple Grove about teaming up with the Morgantown Classic Auto Mall which is right at turnpike exit! I think that could be a perfect spot but what do you guys think? Dj, prizes, etc shouldn't be that difficult and like you said, if Maple Grove were to reward those who would take the time to bring their cars there, that would be even better. NHRA has taken a few steps with Joe Costello doing the "Designated" segment and "Attention in the Pits" and given me some stage time at the last two PRI shows so I commend them but we must definitely keep fighting our own fight as well.

Re: Driver Interviews
 

Bobby, I think the Classic Car Mall would be a great location for such a show. As you said, right off the freeway, plenty of parking, and with over 600 antique, muscle cars, and collectibles, inside the mall, plenty to see. I stopped by the mall on the way to the Philly airport for my flight home, from Maple Grove, and the place blew my socks off!

Re: Driver Interviews
 

Was there a Tuesday tell all yesterday? Was trying to watch live but it never popped up and I don’t see the replay posted. I look forward to it every week is why I’m asking. Not complaining. I know Bobby is in the process of moving.
