I agree with previous posts, # 3 super truck is out of control! yes i agree racing is to get to the front, people will run into each other and get banged up, people are not always nice BUT to always have to be the bully, always push and shove to get to the front? that doesnt make you a skilled driver, just a jerk! And why is he allowed every week to do it? shouldnt the track stop that before he hurts someone? And congrats to #5 who still won over all of #3 SKILLED driving.

I totally agree. Paige needs to do something about Greg & Guy both. There is no sense in #3 going out there week after week tearing peoples stuff up. and the #57 truck is the biggest cheatin truck out there. Paige, when are you going to wake up?

I think the trucks are just like the chargers were about 3 years ago (maybe worse). The charger drivers were trying to see who they could put in the wall or spin out. Over the past couple years, the chargers have become a very competitive class. All the drivers get along really well (on & off the track), and they seem to respect each others driving & the other mans racecar. They learned how to race with respect. There used to be so much animosity in this class but they are the best race to watch as far as "racing". The trucks on the other hand is, see who can spin #3 and get his trophy first. The truck drivers need to loose their sh$tty attitudes & race like the chargers. They have such a good group of drivers. They all park together in the pits and have a really good time. Usually now if someone gets into another driver on the track, it is simply a racing manouver. So everyone needs to pull together & race with respect (and no booze) because as of right now, there are not many places left to run the 4 cylinder class. I sure hope the truck drivers race with some sense when they put them on the track with the chargers at Delmar & Georgetown.

i drive the 57 truck for greg, this is the second year with this truck the motor we had in it had 315k miles on it when i blew it up, we went to murrys junkyard and bought a motor with 60k miles. i went to the track the next week and i ran practice i got out of the truck i told greg this truck has twice the power the other one had. the motor was just wore out it had low compression everyone can be pissed off say what u want but we would be more than glad to let some one look at our truck. and the truck dont drive itself around the track so u have to have some kind of skill. iv raced gokarts, slide for five, napa chargers and i ran 600 micros for half the season before i drove for greg so if ANYONE would like to come look at our truck come to the pits

I think all the trucks need to go back driving school. You have such a nice looking group of trucks but you all drive like your 12 years old. Mitchell, White, Lewis, Carey, and Gray need to grow up & quit acting like pre-schoolers who butted the snack line. My guess would be the racing stopped weeks ago & now revenge has set in. I sure hope all of you guys have medical insurance because at the rate your going, someone is going to end up seriously hurt. Wooters & LeCates need to give you all lessons. They were the only 2 out there Friday night racing.

Wow, I guess the 23 truck is invisible. I don't know if that is a good thing or a bad thing.

I agree with Tyler on the fact that you have to have driving skill b/c week after week the pack ran away from my truck because it wouldn't handle and now it will run up front with no problem and my engine is a stock 1995 ranger motor from Greg's junk yard. now on the topic of the beating and banging yes there are some trucks that do it on purpose but people in the stands don't understand just how much bounce they have, and sometimes it's inevitable that your going to hit each other. there not like the chargers or any other class for that matter. I have been raced clean by every truck out there but one. #24 mike, and the #23 john are rookies so cut them some slack. #22 randy gray will race you clean as long as you race him clean. also The x factor & #57 Tyler i have had no problems with racing beside every week. I have made rookie mistakes this year too but it's how you handle it off the track that matters.

thank you deranged, i am a personal friend of # 24 and yes he is a rookie and this is his first year ever driving a race truck. he was excited to learn but its hard when you have the same person running you in the wall every week! he did start racing becouse of friends and family and he admits because of all the bs he has lost sight of why he started this in the first place.... to have fun and learn.

Hang in there truck drivers, it will get better. My son races one of the chargers & his first year was really frustrating for him & me. But, after 3 years racing, he always says he enjoys it & how much fun he has. To me, that is the perfect attitude to have in any sport!

Just thought ide throw my point if view out there. I was at georgetown a few weeks ago when the 4-cly cars were there. The only 2 trucks that bothered showing up were the 3 and 57. Maybe because with heavy full frame trucks with a SOHC motor you wouldnt think they would be able to keep up with the lightweight. Esp since some of them have DOHC motors with a lot more torque. Yet the 2 supposedly "stock" trucks finished 3rd and 4th ahead of 16 cars... when half of them have the same style motor as the trucks. Not saying the trucks should be slow. But i just dont see how they can be faster than the cars. It just makes no sense to be faster when they are heavier and less agile. They are higher off the ground and bounce. So there must be something giong on there. Maybe thats why no other trucks came because they knew they didnt stand a chance. And Tyler White... Its not your truck. You just drive so you may not know if its cheating or not. But look at the facts.

I no for a fact we aren't cheating I go and work on the truck atleast three times a week I helped take the old motor out and put the new one in just because I just drive that don't mean I just show up and drive and if u have a truck that bounces threw every turn you lose momentum our truck just handles so good it handles better than my ford f250 on the street so u all can say whatever you want

4thefunofit24, that was big of you to admit you should not have done what you because of the heat of the moment. Im sure you were pissed, I was and I was not even racing just watching. I think the #3 would put his own mom in the wall if she were racing. You may be a rookie but hang in there you look good on the track. You will only get better. Dont let one bad seed end your racing. His day will come you wait and see. God dont like ugly and mean people.

my little girl was mad too at the #3, has she picked the 24 to win, now I think she is a big fan of the 24. hang in there, try to pass the 3 quick and clean and get away from him. don't let him draw you to his level, but I know is hard.

This whole thing is kinda funny about the georgetown 4 cyl race. The reason why the trucks are able to keep up with the cars is because the trucks are able to change rearend gears unlike the cars. The cars you cant just pull a cover and change to any gear you want. There for the cars change tire sizes. Also if you were watching the trucks were slow to take off but once they got moving they were fast, one becuase of the ablility for multiply gear ratios, and two because the track is so big and sweeping there is no need to let off the gas for a long time or get on brakes. Now delmar on the 2nd should be totally different since the track is long with tight turns. But then again trucks can just pull a cover and change gears to be suitable for delmar.

I was wondering how many weeks the #24 was suspended for 1 or 2. I think the #3 should have been suspended too

My hats off to the 4 cylinder cars & trucks. They put on one hell of a show Friday & Saturday nights. Watching that race made me feel like I was at a real racetrack. I really do wish the cars from Bridgeport would not race with them guys at Georgetown because they always win. They have their cars souped up more than the Delaware cars. I have been reading all the posts on here for the last couple of weeks & I'm a little confused. Everyone has been blaming the #3 truck for hitting everyone on the track. I seen some rubbing & racing!!! Maybe he was not drinking but I enjoyed watching him race. I also seen some others rubbing & racing. In this class if you don't want contact, pick another hobby. Once again, I totally enjoyed watching the 4 cylinder race. I wish they were at Delmar every week.

Wasn't at G-town Friday night, but at Delmar Saturday night I clearly watched the #3 truck spin out the #5 charger. Then I heard he did the same thing at G-town to the same car on Friday night. If you didn't see it at Delmar, maybe you were the one drinking.

On please, here we go again with the bashing & name calling. I am not a drunk!! I have seen both the videos for these 2 tracks, along with a couple of other people & the best advise I have for you is watch the frigging video.

Actually to all of you who are slightly off... Nothing was intentional when the 5 got spun. I watched the video clearly. And im not sticking up for the #3 cause im not a fan of him personally. But the 5 did cut down in front of him. And yes #3 prob could have backed out. Part of racing. Get tired of hearing people cry.

seems like everyone has it in for the 3 truck. after hearing how bad he has done I wanted to see for myself. So I have watched the video tapes from Delmar & Georgetown this past weekend. Guess what people, didnt see him purposly do anything out of the way but race hard. maybe some of you would like to see it on video, where you can see it over &over instead of seeing it the way you want to see it once thru tear filled eyes

I agree with racing fever. #3 was racing & racing hard just like alot of them. I would rather see them racing hard than putputin around the track. as far as #5 at delmar, #3 was right there but #5 charger got alittle loose. but thats racing. i hope he continues to race respectably. ever heard the saying "cant we all just get along" sound like good advice to me. good job 4 cylinder cars & trucks, you are my favorite class to watch at the big tracks. good job to #60 for the win at delmar. sorry about your luck at georgetown. cant waith until you guys are back at delmar again.

What "afan" posted about Georgetown & Delmar is correct, they won't put up with it. Middleford needs to get some rules & stick to them. It should not matter who you are. All rules should be followed by all.
