We just had another big race team drop out completely. The father said "well, my kids want to play football instead, and it's a hell of a lot cheaper than motocross". Nobody is racing "full seasons" this year knowing well that by the end of the season Obamanomics might put gas at 6 bucks a gallon and there is no way they will be able to finish the season and be a contender. On the other hand, very wealthy teams (parents) will be able to buy a quick championship by simply getting to all the races. We are splitting hauler fees with another local team and went to the practice track yesterday in one tightly packed truck... We are pretty sure our sport is screwed if this ethenol scheme along with the green hoax, is going to destroy a lot of our sport... Ethanol? Green hoax? What sort of Faux News craziness has infected your pea-brain, Mr. Daughter-Raper? Your rising fuel costs are being "fueled" by speculators, not by ethanol. Crikey...your kids should be removed from your household before they grow up believing the sort of crap you believe. Hey harryk, if you think it is speculation you should go out and start producing oil for $80/barrel and become rich beyond belief. Me, I invest in it. So pay your $5.00 and down the line the pennies will make it to me until you can produce oil for less. Or walk to remove the fat from the brain. Still in denial that all the fleabagger debt costs in inflation? At your poverty line income level, you need all the pennies that roll down that hill to you. And not one word to address his question. Why am I not surprised? Fleabaggers on limited income government assistance like HarryK and de-fumer just don't get it. Obama is paying them on an inflationary credit card. Nothing is free, and that includes government debt. But they would rather shoot the messengers and not the cause. But you can count on fleabagger stupidity and worship of debt. My guess is HarryK knows all about the poverty level because he has been there all along. -- I can assure you that the road to prosperity is not paved with fleabagger debt. |

Half 93 octane, and half 110 Sunoco... We went back to stock pistons so we don't have to run it but most folks at least have compression pistons if not more so they do or they will blow up. Find a less expensive hobby. Better yet, buy that kid of yours a riding mower and let her earn some of the bucks she'll need to get through college. I'm pretty sure motorbike racing is not a recognized collegiate sport with the accompanying athletic scholarships. Hell, man, tuition, room and board at UConn is at least $20,000 a year for an in-state student by now. That's $80,000-$100,000 for a degree from a good state university. She's not going to get that sort of money rising around on a motorbike. |
