  1. Everyone is entitled to their opinions but I find it entirely unfair to base judgement on somebody you "watch" on a regular basis but only get to meet in person for a brief moment for a picture and autograph. Sure some personalities will not jive with everyone but FFS some of you act like they murdered your family pet in front of everyone at the pit party 🙄

  2. good junk cars are hard to come by, these unibody POS last maybe a hit or two before becoming a pancake, then you have to pay to get them brought in, prepped and removed. Not to mention BKT's still seem to want to deflate at any chance they get. Dirt is ultimately more consistent for the drivers which in theory means a better quality show.

    I hope to not come across as a know it all but if anyone cares for some learning:

    The original CRD chassis was based off Adam Anderson's Taz chassis (which was a "inhouse" chassis built at the digger shop). Depending on your POV, there have been 3-4 revisions to Carroll's chassis since it has debuted. Basically all of the revisions were to remove problematic areas that were over engineered and make them simplistic to fix or repair.
    FELD Inhouse chassis's have had alot of revisions since the original crop of chassis's. Mostly to stuff you cannot really see by eye (tube sizing and wall thickness). Bracing philosophy changed over the years but the relative shape has remained untouched. 
    Once Paul left FELD he started his own metal fab shop, he has built the current Fullboar and Over Bored chassis (I have photos of another possible chassis he has built but I have not seen anything that matches it).
    Eddie Mikjas is also a name that has surfaced offering inhouse clones (he has a few distinct traits in bracing vs FELD or Paul).  Krazy Train, Black Pearl, Hurricane Force and Bad Company 2 are Eddie's work currently running, with another chassis sitting at Vaters shop unbuilt (you can see it in Mikeys video blogs) .

    Realistically they are all basically the same as they are based off of a similar wheelbase

    If you want a visual (I do not have a Eddie or Paul uploaded on there but you can atleast get the idea)

  4. @Robertson Racing I have been noticing a trend that the first truck to put in a decent run gets scored in the 9's almost immediately. Then the fans boo themselves when other drivers put in just as good of a run if not better and do not take the lead.
    I am thinking that FELD needs to figure out the possibility of introducing a multiplier to the scoring algorithm based on how much time is filled. Until then, people are dumb so the scoring is going to continue being dumb.
