Jim Gardner: Yeah. Slim Pushins: I mean like the odds of somebody going three and is what? twenty percent? Corby Scherb: s so let's le hold l hold on, let's break this down from a fundamental standpoint real quick. So Slim Pushins: I hate it when he does this. Corby Scherb: Jim needed me and Kirby to put in our three sixty national picks to try to like up the scale and like make sure everyone else is, and I said, Alright, bet. I got suckered into a fantasy football league. Y'all have to help me. Took some persuading and James or as it says right there, Jim Said he would help me, but he is horrendous. He even has stats Jim Gardner: Yeah, I'm a bad f- Corby Scherb: he has stats on how bad he is at fantasy football. Jim Gardner: I'm a bad fantasy football player. I've been bad for 20 years. Slim Pushins: Hey y'all, clean it up. Clean it up. Jeb's watching. Corby Scherb: So then hold n hold on, listen. So then Jimmy I know actually I think it was Kerbo had said something about you don't even know anything about football and I started naming off some football players. And y'all were impressed that I know Slim Pushins: More than I knew. Corby Scherb: some football players. Well, I mean I I know what it is. I know these people who make trillions of dollars probably from the tax money, but they make trillions of dollars throwing a pig skin around Jim Gardner: trillions. Corby Scherb: I know n sorry, Jimmy, you you were college college Jim Gardner: brillians. Corby Scherb: college athlete, sorry buddy. And they get turf toe and they gotta take they gotta take nine weeks Slim Pushins: He's a math guy. You can't slide that through. Corby Scherb: off. Jim Gardner: Can we just talk Corby Scherb: So Jim Gardner: about racing? I don't know what the hell Corby's talking about. Corby Scherb: We're talking about fantasy football here, buddy, and you were supposed to help me and then all of a sudden you got too busy and you didn't help me pick my team and I even ended up with a bangle. So Slim Pushins: Wait a minute. Half of y'all helped you. I was on the phone with you up until you Corby Scherb: You Slim Pushins: gave up on me and you went with your brothers. Corby Scherb: You, Lucas O'Marle. We got a good team. We're we're good. We're good. Slim Pushins: We didn't draft four kickers, so there's that. Corby Scherb: No, we didn't do that. Or or anyone on the Dallas Cowboys. I'm gonna get a lot of hate here in Texas for that, but Slim Pushins: How was work today, Jim? Did you sell any cheap Chinese lights? Jim Gardner: We sold a bunch. It's good. I can order brakes for my race car now. So we had a good, a good Slim Pushins: Seven eight. Jim Gardner: couple of days now, one inch actually. I'm rebuilding. That's what I was doing earlier. but I, but I was still Slim Pushins: But you were on time. Hmm. Jim Gardner: on time. So I was putting the master cylinder together. Slim Pushins: Tony Jim Gardner: So. Slim Pushins: said that Jim's theme song is the from Boats and Hoes. Corby Scherb: That's what I said. The Catalina wine mixer. Jim Gardner: Yeah, that's right. Or just Monday night dinner at my father-in-law's where they listen to the actual music, which is great. Slim Pushins: You know, if you're gonna go Italian, you need to go with the song you need to go with the song that Andy Dufresne played when he broke into the the warden's office. That was at a banger. Corby Scherb: Dude, great movie. Great movie. The Shawshank Redemption? Dude. Dude. Great movie man. I I might just only Slim Pushins: Like he's looking it up. He's like, these Jim Gardner: I'm not, I'm doing the power rankings of the 105 race I missed. Corby Scherb: know a little bit of mu about music, but some old good movies were Slim Pushins: D'ye hear D'ye hear that, Corby? Jim proudly posted the power rankings yesterday morning. And for whatever reason, it Corby Scherb: 'Cause we forgot we forgot last week or something like that, right? Slim Pushins: yeah, he was you know, he was busy doing things. So he posts today all proud like with his chiseled jaw up in the air. And if you'd have been, you know, pre showing it with us, he was like one hundred five ran two weeks ago? Jim Gardner: Yeah, that 105 likes to not be public about their races, I guess. I missed the race that Thomas Johnson, our guy won on the power rankings. My bad. Yeah. Thank you, Wes. I don't even like these guys. I'm going to do a podcast with Wes. Slim Pushins: Wes Cranfell wants to talk about racing. I don't know why this isn't a racing show. Corby Scherb: I remember the first time that I saw Thomas Johnson. This is this is like way off subject. I remember the first time that I I saw him and and I'd heard about him. I didn't know who he was and and maybe he's listening to this episode, I don't know, but we were at I think it was Hunt County, I think it was I wanna say it was like the first ever gobbler that was there. It was at night and some dude went by me like ripping the top and there was no top left. None. And it was it it was him. There w there was no top Slim Pushins: Who are we talking about? Corby Scherb: left I have I have no Thomas Johnson. I have no idea. So so like cheers to you buddy. Like you absolutely made something work that wasn't there. Dude, me me and Marshall Mathers had some some deep talks in high school, buddy. Jim Gardner: sounds about right. Jordan, we'll get to you later in the show. You're going to be a featured segment. Corby Scherb: Lincoln Park, man. Breaking Benjamin. Breaking Benjamin was was the was the shit in high school. Slim Pushins: I buzzed past his trailer on the way out to the parking lot and he looked so dejected I was normally I'd Jim Gardner: Bye. Slim Pushins: swing by and give him some knuckles or something, but I didn't feel like Jim Gardner: He texted me, said, quote, that's not what we planned. Slim Pushins: There's just something Jim Gardner: Uhhh... Slim Pushins: about there's something I mean, even Jeb didn't throw up double birds at Chili Ball. Jim Gardner: When he got more powed yeah, yeah Slim Pushins: Course his you know, his hands are like his height. These middle finger's like thirteen foot long. He didn't need to throw both of them up there. Jim Gardner: And that's right. It's true. Yeah. It's just generally, emphatic, but, anyway. Slim Pushins: All right, do we wanna talk about power we wanna rush you into power rankings? Are they ready? Jim Gardner: No, we don't. Let's make Corby commit on whether or not he's racing this weekend. Corby Scherb: I don't know man. a Slim Pushins: That's not commitment. Corby Scherb: lot of things gotta line Jim Gardner: Ha ha ha ha! Corby Scherb: up. Friday night show be cool. I don't I don't wanna like bring the the podcast down, but you know, this is the last place that my mom ever got to watch me race was at Boyd. won our first championship there, on a couple big technicalities, but we did She got to watch me race for the TSS race there and thank you to Danny Merrill for letting Jimmy and Kerbo go out into the infield 'cause I I don't know, we ran like fourth or fifth that night for the TSS show there and to give me the the belt, which is the coolest trophy that anyone has ever got in their life. I it is so cool. Love that belt. It's actually hanging I couldn't I can't even put holes in it, so it's like thrown over the the curtain in the workout room. It's just hanging right there, but yeah, it's the last place that Yeah, it was four his four years ago. I think it was pretty close Slim Pushins: I'd love to take credit for that, but most of the good ideas come from Jim. Corby Scherb: to this this weekend that's that's here because it was a late race that Danny had ran for the TSS. So I don't know, man. some things still gotta line up. Like I said, I just walked in the door Jim Gardner: Well, we had to dodge about six inches of rain. I hate to be that guy, but. Corby Scherb: It doesn't look good. Jim Gardner: Yeah, so. Slim Pushins: Do we want to talk about that? Are we allowed to talk about that? Let's do it. Corby Scherb: We can talk about that this early. If if it's Friday and they're still going, then no, you can't say the R word. But Slim Pushins: So I'd I'm I I'd enjoy the weather, the changing different stuff and I've looked at a bunch of different Jim Gardner: Let me mark that. Corby Scherb: You g i is that is that a is that a Slim Pushins: I've looked at a bunch of different meteorologists. Corby Scherb: a notepad that has a change later? Or that that's a stuck notepad? Slim Pushins: That's the notepad that he writes down and then he has to put into the database. Corby Scherb: Okay, gotcha. Gotcha. Slim Pushins: Twelve minutes. Right at twelve minutes, Jim? Jim Gardner: Yeah, back to you, Slim. 12 minutes of nonsense. We're just gonna cut all this. Corby Scherb: See what Friday Friday night the low is sixty seven? That's bad. Really bad. Slim Pushins: Corby. Jim Gardner: that's fine for motors. Corby Scherb: Not the the humidity's gonna be way up, you know. Slim Pushins: Cade doesn't want me to talk about it. Alright, I'm not gonna talk about Boyd. I'm j I'll just I live in Haslett, Corby lives in Decatur. Well let's talk about the weather between those two places. it's not looking good. Corby Scherb: Boyd, what a special place. You know, no, it doesn't look good. I mean Boyd Boyd's a really cool place. It's big to our family. I know me and Merle both ran our first ever motorcycle race there. ran my first sprint car race there. It's it's super special to us and it has been the one place that in all the years of motorcycle racing and car racing, only one of us brothers has ever won there. Ever. And I know Jason Tyres listening and Jason Tyre that's where the Jason Tyre line comes from, is at Boyd, but Logan won one night in Lucas's car because he tried to seat bounce the turn two dive there. Jim Gardner: Yeah, we had to pull them out of the lake and hot Corby Scherb: Yeah. Jim Gardner: laps. Slim Pushins: Well Corby Scherb: Merle ran his first sprint car race there. Jim Jimmy was there. Merl Merle was so discombobulated 'cause he he jumped off turn turn two and he couldn't even get his helmet off. But boy's a special place, man. I got my only care flat ride from there. Jim Gardner: It's a special feeling. Slim Pushins: All right, Jim, it only took a minute and a half. We've lost we've lost Chase Brewer as a listener tonight. Jim Gardner: Brewer's gone because he doesn't want to listen to Boyd flat-track racing talk Slim Pushins: Brewer commented that he didn't want to listen to you and Jason Tyre Corby Scherb: No man, Slim Pushins: talk about Corby Scherb: boy Slim Pushins: talk about the good old times. Jim Gardner: There we go, I got it updated. Slim Pushins: Back to Slim. Jim Gardner: Yeah, sorry, I accidentally hit the button. Here. Corby Scherb: Stubbberfield, man, we gotta we gotta talk deep about that. Go with on go on with your power rankings. Slim Pushins: Look at the legend. The legend. Chad Wilson just s sneaking into the podium. Jim Gardner: Yeah, Corby Scherb: Dude's a slugger, no matter what. Jim Gardner: now it's updated. I didn't know that 105 ran two weeks ago. Whoops! So, the rankings I put out yesterday were wrong. So, now they're right. Sorry, everybody. I know everybody lives Corby Scherb: Probably Rube. Jim Gardner: in- Corby Scherb: Probably. Slim Pushins: How does Rube so l know so much about you? Corby Scherb: Probably. Jim Gardner: Yeah. So, anyway, there's, there's where we're at. All right. Well, we're back off that. So, so Corby is not Slim Pushins: Yeah, so Brewers left. Jim Gardner: non-committal on Friday. Sherb just holding us all hostage on whether or not I have to drive three hours away from my family. All right. Corby Scherb: I don't know man, Yeah, Friday Fridays are tough. Fridays are tough to pull off. Slim Pushins: So we're just gonna be drinking beer and watching.

Jim Gardner: sorry. Well, that's what happens when Corby doesn't do a pre-show. so all day Boyd's been posting like three or four different flyers have been around on what The actual purses what it pays to start anything like that, but this is the latest one and now we've made it public So hopefully they don't make us look like fools 1500 to win 200 to start Slim Pushins: Fifteen hundred to win. Jim Gardner: 200 to start Corby that'll buy a lot of hair products for you Corby Scherb: I don't keep my winnings, Slim Pushins: Mark that. Corby Scherb: I never have. Jim Gardner: Yeah So Yeah, hopefully they hopefully the rain dodges I don't know I don't I don't be Slim Pushins: I don't see that happening. Jim Gardner: a pessimist but maybe Slim Pushins: I'm sorry, Cade. Corby Scherb: I I've I've heard that that they're gonna try to to to make it happen no matter what at some point, whether it's this year or first and next year. Boyd's a cool place, man. Boyd's got I know Claude probably raced there back way back in the day, you know. I know Chad has raced there. Chad Chad's known the place his whole life. Chad Boyd's been around for a long time. let's go. Slim Pushins: Soon, Zoloft. We've we've we've got that queued up. Zoloft. One of my meeting one of my show notes Corby Scherb: But man my I Slim Pushins: one of my show notes for tonight was that Corby and I give nicknames to everybody. Everybody has nicknames. Not try, they're there. That's the point. Corby Scherb: try. We can try. that's to answer Susan's questions, I mean yeah, I it it it's the plan right now. I I can't promise that I'm gonna be there, just depends. Like I said, I mean I I Jim Gardner: the stakeholders. Corby Scherb: I I w well I walked in five minutes before the podcast and it's seven o'clock, so I I walked in at six fifty five, so we'll see. who knows. Jim Gardner: Stakeholders need to know if they need to clear out another build a temporary stand Corby Scherb: Axe body spray. Slim Pushins: You know Corby was the biggest consumer of axe body spray back in the day. Jim Gardner: Temporary grand stand out in ways in Wise County So anyway Boyd Friday Corby Scherb: We won't get into that stuff. I I won't I won't scare any more people off about the axe body spray and stuff like that. Slim Pushins: LT wants to know Jim Gardner: Landon, Slim Pushins: if anybody's running Saturday. Jim Gardner: not that I have seen. I Corby Scherb: Not that I've seen either. Jim Gardner: was looking. Slim Pushins: Landon, you can go up you can go up to Armore with us and watch Mud Ducks. Ryder and I are gonna go up there and drink some beer and watch Kensington race. Jim Gardner: There you go. Is that Saturday? Slim Pushins: Yeah. Well it's Friday and Saturday. Jim Gardner: Gotcha. you are, Slim Pushins: But Jim Gardner: but Corby's holding you hostage about Friday to be able to go. Slim Pushins: Anybody that I mean I'd rather go to Boyd. I Boyd's close to the house. I like Boyd. It has its it has its deficiencies, but it's a it's a cool place. I'm glad Jim Gardner: Yeah. Slim Pushins: that they're continuing to race there and I'm even more glad that they're trying to squeeze sprint cars in for fifteen hundred dollars to win. Jim Gardner: That's right. It's good purse. So hopefully, hopefully the weather dodges and they miss and get some cars. That'd be good. But let's talk about last weekend. Slim Pushins: Landon's out. Jim Gardner: Let's talk about last weekend. start. Yeah, RPM head. Corby Scherb: RPM man, a big big showing for the Smiley race. that's that's super cool. It's good for Kevin, it's good for Lorenz, good for Smiley's Smiley himself. like to see it. It was it was a really I I can't remember how many cars were there. That was a f Slim Pushins: Thirty two, thirty three? Corby Scherb: those thirty two cars. Man, what a number. What a number. Jim Gardner: that's the only reason we're doing this. Slim Pushins: The things the things that he can turn around to personalize or to be about him is absolutely astounding. Jim Gardner: So, you know, some, some, you know, it just goes to show, you know, here we're late in the year and car towns usually kind of falter and, and, and get rough. But, you know, we had what 25 had a B main at Kennedy a couple of weeks ago. you know, I had 32 cars at RPM for a show in Corby Scherb: What a number. Jim Gardner: September. you know, and, and a couple of guys, know, Slim Pushins: Mm-hmm. Jim Gardner: Raven Colt. comes out of the woodwork and is up, Corby Scherb: For sure. Jim Gardner: is out there running. And I think it goes to show that if you put on a good event with, good money and good incentives and a good reason, that people will make the effort, and circled on their calendars and make it work. So, I thought the racing was really good. I, I watched it on Kerbo's account, while Slim Pushins: Naturally. Jim Gardner: I was sitting in the lot in parking lot, watching it rain. and, I thought. Slim Pushins: Corby watched one of his fantasy football teams on my Netflix last week, so Corby Scherb: Two weeks ago. Two weeks ago. Jim Gardner: You know, I so I thought the racing was great. I I Slim Pushins: Got cheap ass friends. Jim Gardner: thought I thought hey you have hot water thanks to me, so Slim Pushins: Amazing what Jim can throw back in my face. Jim Gardner: Your truck doesn't have the death wobble thanks to me. You want me to keep going? Slim Pushins: You wanted to blow that off, like it was just a Jim Gardner: hahahaha Slim Pushins: what was it that my dad called it? Like a shimmy. Jim thought that the Jim Gardner: a shim. don't know. A shimmy, yeah. Slim Pushins: death wobble was just an inconvenience. Jim Gardner: You know, looking at some of these names that came around, know Danny, Danny Merrill was scheduled to run. guess they broke a motor and hot laps and he didn't get to race, unfortunately, which sucks, but, you know, Really good car count, really good racing. you know, the heat races were typical short track heat races. It was tough to pass and narrow, but, I thought the bees were great and I thought the main event was spectacular. I haven't seen. probably a better race. You know, racetrack and race, you know, minus the attrition, you don't want to see a race end with nine cars, but, that means guys were getting it on, getting after it. And, I thought the feature race was must see TV or, know, I hope the people in the stands, enjoyed it because I don't, I don't know that it gets much better than, than that racetrack for that main event. So. Slim Pushins: Did it excite you enough to get your own race on account? Jim Gardner: Not quite almost. Slim Pushins: let's give credit let's give credit to pushing the cushion zone Kevin Rutherford that got the the dog pounder of the week coming from the bee. Jim Gardner: did he? I mean we can, we can give Slim Pushins: I gave it to him. It's there. Jim Gardner: it to him. Yeah. I mean, if you want to give him your dog pounder award of the week, I'm going to give it to Kenny Venable who finished in the top five, which is technically a disqualification of dog pounder of the week, but he was hauling ass all night. Slim Pushins: There you go. He just answered his own question, Corby. Jim Gardner: I mean, but you're just, you just said there's no rules. So, Slim Pushins: Yeah. Jim Gardner: I don't know what we're even doing, but Slim Pushins: It's like calling shotgun. I've already called it. Jim Gardner: But I want to make sure that Kenny, that we gave Kenny a shout out. Kenny finishes in the top five, was up front all night. He was hauling ass. Corby Scherb: He was ripping, man. Slim Pushins: His sh his shout out is finishing in the top five. Dog pounders don't get shout outs. Congratulations, Rutherford. Corby and I are behind you. Jim Gardner: Okay, fair enough. well, yeah, I okay you're Slim Pushins: For whatever reason, Jim hates you. Jim Gardner: Yeah, that's what it is Austin Monday was the winner. Let's gloss over that and then three huge charges from the dog pound Chad Wilson 11 to 11th to 2nd Michael day 17th to 3rd and Slim Pushins: Straight out of the dog pound. Jim Gardner: Yeah, and Rick it's 16 to 4th to go along with Rutherford's 15th to 6th. So some big movers and shakers you know, a lot of people had some bad luck. Slim Pushins: He's got a point, Jim. Coming from the guy that had two flow accounts. Jim Gardner: I'm just trying to recoup, recoup my bank account from having two flows, I guess. But, you know, there was attrition upfront. Stubble field was, was probably the best car was out running. Everybody got tangled up with the lapper, about midway through the race. And, I don't know. I think they ran 30 laps. Is that right? Yeah. And, you know, the track took a big swing. Slim Pushins: Raimi's making work for it. Jim Gardner: Yeah. Track made a big swing and. Got real slick and up on the wall and, you know, there was, there was action all over the racetrack. So, good, good race. Congratulations to Austin Mundie Like I said, Wilson day and Ricketts from the back through the dog pound to finish up front. So good showing there. Slim Pushins: Which video do we want to show? Jim Gardner: There was some action early. Very early. Lap one early. Up front and I do have that. Slim Pushins: we're gonna talk about that? Let's go video first. Jim Gardner: Video first. Slim Pushins: Don't we have a couple of videos? Jim Gardner: All right, so this is our guy Jordan Roupe. He's had a tough year. He was fast in his heat race, transferred all the way in and Slim Pushins: There it is. Jim Gardner: got and got Corby Scherb: The duel pulled out the duel. Jim Gardner: crashed. you know, I've been Jordan, I hung out a bunch of nationals and I like him and his dad and we've been kind of going back and forth a lot on his car and having some good ideas. So I'd like send him a thumbs up earlier in the night. Slim Pushins: I give it I give it like a like a nine out of ten. Like very direct both hands helmet on. Jim Gardner: Yeah, it doesn't mess around not taking the helmet off. No Hans. I think it's badass that Sprint car drivers got the armor strengths hanging down whether you're celebrating a win or doing the double birds. I think that just adds an element of flair. So I also got the still shot here and if Jordan if that's not on a t-shirt, that's just a missed opportunity. So Slim Pushins: I mean, I'd I would keep my beer cold if that was on a koozie. Jim Gardner: Yeah, so Slim Pushins: be honest, I'm gonna go one step further. That's the graphic needs to be back on his on the backside of his race hauler. Jim Gardner: probably. Yeah. you know, let's Slim Pushins: That's the one. Give it to you. Let me have let me see that one more time. Jim Gardner: one more time just for kicks it. Slim Pushins: Look at that. Casually it d he's just he's pissed, but he's not done. There it is. Jim Gardner: So I went through it. by this time I was riding back from a rained out lot and, and again, I was on Kerbo's account and I had it on in the car just to try to follow along, but I didn't see what happened. then Sunday I went back and tried to find what happened and who he would potentially mad at. And I really couldn't figure it out and I had to text him and say, so who were you flipping off? And he said, anybody I could find. and Slim Pushins: Where is I can't bring up Jeb's Jeb's comment hasn't popped yep yet. Jeb said like Jim Gardner: but. Slim Pushins: sparkly handlebar. Where'd he go? Jim Gardner: does that even mean? Slim Pushins: Like sparkly handlebar tassels. Like on a kid's tricycle. He was he's talking Jim Gardner: okay. Slim Pushins: about your arm restraint comment. Jim Gardner: Okay, yeah, so I know Jordan's had a terrible year. He's probably just flipping off the racing gods And it and anybody and anybody but you know, I appreciate the passion and it was made for a good moment. So Yeah, so anyway Slim Pushins: James said he was try Ruby was trying to fit and trying to decide whether or not he was gonna run or not. Jim Gardner: Don't want to get banned for the year. anyway tough break for Jordan another tough break was from Claude Estes Kevin sent us this. boy. Well Corby Scherb: Good job Kerbo. Good job, Kerbo. Good job, Kerbo. Now that's your fault. He was Slim Pushins: I mean, don't warn us anything. Don't don't let us know when it's coming. Corby Scherb: lead he was leading up to it and you're like, next? Slim Pushins: Well I'm my job is to go through the Jim Gardner: This is why there should only be one guy on the dials, but whatever. So here's Claude's crash. It was pretty early. I think he hopped a right rear tire going, trying to run the top down there and turn three. Took a pretty good lick. Corby Scherb: They go right. Jim Gardner: I didn't see, you know, the broadcast just showed him, you know, stationary and getting out and, you know, kind of hard to see if it was a Tommy tip over. That's a pretty good ride. So I'm glad he's, Corby Scherb: Yeah, and I'll say this too, like it's kinda off subject, but cheers to RPM for having an amazing catch fence. I know there was a a flip down the front straight away, and that's one place that I'm never worried about exiting the park. I don't know about everyone else who races or whatever. I I wanna stay inside the park. I don't wanna ever know what it's like to jump off turn three of Ardmore. I bet you that's a long ride downhill. Jim Gardner: Yeah. Well, I mean, turn one and two at RPM, you know, I'm sure they've had to go pick people out of the trees before too. Corby Scherb: Right. Jim Gardner: you know, but, certainly down there protecting people from flying into the pits and stuff, Corby Scherb: For sure. Jim Gardner: have a, have a good safety. You know, we do appreciate that, but, Slim Pushins: Roop said he didn't know who did it so he gave the whole field the bird. That's that's what I'm talking that's awesome right there. Corby Scherb: For sure. Man, it's a it's tough, it's well it's tough Slim Pushins: And he didn't really care in the moment either. Corby Scherb: it's tough coming off a start and there was there was some different people that made redraw this week. super cool how they did redraw too. and what'd you miss? You miss the I I think Jim Gardner: So what'd miss? Yeah, I'm gonna redraw. Corby Scherb: I'm gonna d Kevin Raimi, I'm gonna go ahead and give it to you, dude. I think that was the greatest way to do redraw. You can't do a running thing because like people like me and Dylan have bummed knees now. Jimmy too, 'cause he played Jim Gardner: So what did, Corby Scherb: They did they did a little girls Jim Gardner: what, okay. Slim Pushins: They did a bike race. Corby Scherb: little girls bicycle race. Okay, Jim Gardner: Okay. Corby Scherb: and so and I and I'm gonna sorry, Colby, I'm gonna call you out here. Everyone pulls up there and I'm thinking in my mind, like Devin Debrick is the only one who's probably like got more than the phone book jump in front of your house, air on a bicycle. So Devin's over there and he's getting his pedals all set up and like everyone else notices what he's doing, so he does it and dude he came out of the gate like a bandit. Devin did. And Colby ran him down. Slim Pushins: And then what? It trailed off? Corby Scherb: Now Colby ran him down and passed him on the outside. So Jim Gardner: What, did just do one lap? Corby Scherb: No, you just had to run down the front straightaway. Yeah, the Barbie bike kitten yeah. Slim Pushins: The Bari bike had a hard time holding all all my weight. Jim Gardner: Yeah. Slim Pushins: Roop, let's go ahead put that on the front of your f double bird Corby Scherb: It was cool, man. It was super different. Slim Pushins: t shirt. Corby Scherb: I I I think that maybe I can get this passed. I don't know if there's anyone in this group that can do it, but maybe, Kevin, next year let's do it as a unicycle race. Jim Gardner: No. Slim Pushins: Okay. Corby Scherb: Why? Jim Gardner: Because I don't need half the field missing the main because they broke their forearms falling. Slim Pushins: That's on them, Jim. Jim Gardner: Yeah. Okay. Well, I missed that. whoops. Corby Scherb: Yeah, it was super cool. Really cool. Jim Gardner: but yeah, dude, Slim Pushins: You didn't watch that on my race on account, Jim? Jim Gardner: no, I didn't. I was driving. anyway. Slim Pushins: called Jim when I left I I left before the checkered flag and I called Jim, ignored me. He ignored me and I know why he ignored me. It's 'cause he's on my damn raison account. Driving back from Lawton. Jim Gardner: hahahahah Corby Scherb: Kate, I'll I'll give it to you buddy. It's it's the coaster brakes that'll get you on those bicycles. Jim Gardner: Yeah, sorry, Kerbo. I didn't mean to give you that few button, but got to watch the last 10 laps, man. That was a barn burner. Jaden Browns, who had that big crash in the B, I think he was a little banged up. I hope he's feeling all right. But he hopped her right rear going down the front straightaway and just hung her right in the fence. And it was wicked. It was a tough look. Slim Pushins: Jordan said he's got the bake the bike race video. Jim Gardner: Well, this is what Slim Pushins: Debrick had a great video that he posted online and I was all ready to watch it. I mean, it was like set to music and he went like bike to bike and then he cut it off right before they started. Jim Gardner: man. Yeah, so that's a pretty good event. RPM's got one more show on the 17th. They run, they got a 360 show next weekend. ASCS National Tour is in town. That ought to be a banger on the quarter mile. is on the 10th. Yep. And then the Slim Pushins: It that's on the tenth, right? Did you already say that? Jim Gardner: following weekend is their final 305 show of the year. So. we're getting down to the nitty gritty of trying to find races while the weather is still good. So, let me see, let's see if I can pull up. Slim Pushins: Jim, have you already started sweating what Corby and I are gonna come up with for the podcast during the off season? Jim Gardner: No, because it's I'll just I'll just conveniently not be available y'all can Slim Pushins: 'Cause it's not gonna be racing related. Jim Gardner: Y'all can do whatever. Yeah, I'll be Working Corby Scherb: Coasters and ceiling fans. Jim Gardner: on my midget so Slim Pushins: Good. We're replacing you we're replacing you during the off season with Jeb. Corby and I have been looking forward to the Jeb return for a long time. Look at him trying to Jim Gardner: What else? Slim Pushins: trying to keep us on track. He's starting to panic. Can we can we can you you got the other Claude video? I feel like Corby Scherb: We're gonna talk about or we're gonna talk about, you know, the the I I just do want to touch base on the the the Colby and the and the Lappers. And I've said this for Slim Pushins: We've got that video. Corby Scherb: for a long time and and it's not a knock at anyone. Lappers probably have won more races around here in the last five years. And it's not because lappers are that far off the pace, it's because you have that many Slim Pushins: Mm. Corby Scherb: fast guys and even the lappers are really fast. There was an incident, I don't know if I'm sure Patrick's on here right now, of a race that I won in twenty three at yeah, you're coming on Jeb. at Kennedale and I tried to throw a slider on someone twice and couldn't get by and ended up letting Logan get by me and then Logan throws a Hell Mary and luckily for me, the caution came out and I got my spot back and ended up winning the race. But That's that's the thing that around here, your your lappers are so fast that if you're the leader and you're pulling up to you have to make such a splits second decision to know where they're gonna go. Whether they've done the same thing every lap, whether they have the laper flag out. Technically what the rule of thumb is is they're supposed to hold their same line, they're not supposed to do anything different, and Colby picked wrong. And it sucks. You were leading, you were gone, you felt comfortable, and then ended up taking out Lana Thompson. it's such a it's a crappy deal, but Lappers have depicted a lot of races in recent years around here because there's no one that's on the racetrack that's slow. Jim Gardner: Yeah, we had this discussion when we were talking about the restarts at Kennedale a couple of weeks ago that I Corby Scherb: Mm. Jim Gardner: think that races get better when they get the lap traffic, know, races Corby Scherb: Yeah. Jim Gardner: that go green to checkers and you know that that race was 10 laps longer on Saturday at RPM. It gives you more opportunity to get into the lap traffic and let the leaders dice it up through another obstacle. And I think that the nuance that drivers have to get through lap traffic and then race each other is the most compelling form. you know, part of a sprint car race. it's just the way it is. And, and, you know, Slim Pushins: Colby made I agree with Corby. Colby made a split second decision and unfortunately Nathan Moore made the same decision. and then, you know, they collected Landon Thompson. Clearly what I believe is the two fastest cars on the track. Jim Gardner: Yeah. know, you know, it's quarter mile bullring racing. That's why I pay people Corby Scherb: That's the crappy part about racing, man. For sure. Jim Gardner: pay their hard earned money. Go sit in the stands and watch it. guys going for it and some stuff just doesn't work out for guys. So. Corby Scherb: What were they running like high thirteens, low fourteens, so you gotta think about it, you have, you know, ten laps, you're a second off the leader's pace, and then all of a sudden the leaders are breathing down your neck and that you don't I mean I it it's a bit rare that I've ever been a lapper, but you don't know what they're gonna do. You don't have a clue and it's it's Slim Pushins: Did he just toot his own horn, Jim? Jim Gardner: aside kind of yeah Corby Scherb: no, I mean it's just it it's it's tough to be on either side of that. Especially being the leader Jim Gardner: Ahem. Corby Scherb: and trying to predict because you are faster than that person and you have to it everything happens so fast, especially at RPM, Kennedale, Boyd, Grayson, anywhere around here, about outside of Ardmore, everything happens so fast that you have to make a decision honestly a lap before you get there to know what you're gonna do and sadly that was one of the instances that chose wrong, for sure. Jim Gardner: Yep. Those are the breaks. you know, try again next week. Corby Scherb: 'Cause he could've you know, he saw Nathan going to the bottom and I I'm sorry, Colby, I don't know if you're watching this or not. He saw Nathan start to go to the bottom and he had two choices lock up the brakes, let Landon go around him anyways, or continue to try to attempt it. Slim Pushins: What would you have done? Corby Scherb: Me? Slim Pushins: Attempt it? Corby. Jim Gardner: Easy to say now. Corby Scherb: Probably attempt it. Probably probably attempt it. 'Cause Slim Pushins: Jim? Corby Scherb: it's it's hard to to to lock up the brakes and and you know if you do that you gave up five seconds. Slim Pushins: All your momentum. Corby Scherb: You gave up five seconds and you gave up two laps to to get rolling back again. So more than likely I probably would have done the same thing Colby did. Jim Gardner: Yep. lappers are, you know, lap traffic's Slim Pushins: I I figured Jim Gardner: part of it. So. Corby Scherb: Absolutely. Slim Pushins: I figured I figured Colby fans were g end up jumping Nathan Moore at the snack stand. Jim Gardner: That's, now we save that for, pavement late model NASCAR guys, Corby Scherb: Right. Jim Gardner: jumping people at the hot dog stand. Slim Pushins: Jeb said Jeb said he will take your place and he's expecting one point one more viewers than normal. Jim Gardner: Okay. All right. I'll be, I will happily just edit it. That's no big deal. yeah, he sent us a 10 minute long video on some conspiracy theory today. And I was like, Hey man, I'm trying to sell some lights. I ain't got, I ain't got Slim Pushins: Hold on, I gotta bring that up here. Jim Gardner: time for this. No, don't bring it up. Slim Pushins: There it is. Jim Gardner: man. So, anybody else got anything from Lawton? or excuse me, from RPM before we get to lotting. Slim Pushins: Lawton. Lawton Lawton had a lot of what we're expecting this week. Jim Gardner: Yeah, on Saturday, man. Corby Scherb: Kinda unexpectedly too. I it there was a chance, it was super low chance. Jim Gardner: Yeah, so we kind of woke up and I looked at the radar and they said it was going to be spotty thunderstorms that night. were kind of, you know, I think it would be all right. It'll miss us. It was a little spotty the night before too. Like when we crossed the Red River to get up there, Wes and I looked at each other like, it's nasty. But it ended up totally missing Friday. And then It was six 30 or seven o'clock and we looked on the other side of the truck and trailer and a big black cloud coming right at us. And so we'd up real fast and actually booked it and got out of there. We didn't want to get trapped on that soft iconic lot in red dirt and, Loaded everything up and went across the street to a parking lot of a school and hung out, just watched it pour, got on Kerbo's race on account and you know, let, let the storm passed us and the storm had us hard for about an hour and there was no shot. So that sucked, but we did get to race Friday. There were I think 16 or 18 cars up there, some good cars. went up there with Braxton, Weger and... You know, Gary Owens is up there. Martin Edwards is up there and Steven Schebester, you know, all the kind of Oklahoma hitters, were there, even though the field wasn't very deep. and because of the rain, threat of rain, they didn't really water. They watered the track, but they watered it kind of late and it was sloppy, for wheel packing and hot laps and things like that. See you, Kerbo. And, Slim Pushins: I'll be right back. Corby Scherb: Prove it. Jim Gardner: And You know heat races it was real juicy, know, I haven't been I've been a lot in one time and is when you and I went Corby we probably went in like 17 18 Corby Scherb: Early man. Yeah. Jim Gardner: and We sucked I remember sucking Corby Scherb: Yes. Jim Gardner: And being terrible but I didn't know anything about how that track was gonna race, know, I kind of looked at my race past to to try to look at lap times and see how much it was going to slow down. Braxton, you know, said it typically slicks off and gets pretty slow around the bottom. So that was our game plan. And, but man, I'll tell you what Martin Edwards and those guys did a great job, man. was slick and wide and had a big, you know, six, eight inch curb on it. And, you know, come feature time, I, I got On the other side of the balance of our car was some adjustments. I'm just kicking myself because I saw Braxton run the best race I've seen him run all year and ran second to Schebester Those guys did a great job. I mean, Ryder was, Slim Pushins: Yeah. Jim Gardner: Ryder, excuse me, Braxton was wheeling it, wheeling a car that was way too tight. And I felt like I handicapped him. He just couldn't, couldn't run the top like we needed to. but still made a couple bids and charges at Schebester but couldn't make a slider stick through lap traffic and Corby Scherb: Glad I got him on those honey packs so you gave him a tight car again. Jim Gardner: I Bet I'll bet he needed him. He probably was arm-pumping pretty hard Wesley sent me like a highlight video and somebody had a slow-mo of it You know pound in the top left front locked up sliding over four foot four in the fluff He was driving the shit out of it and I kind of just handicapped him and gave him It was the first time I've really given him something that he couldn't overcome. And he took a fifth place car and run second with it and I couldn't sleep all night. Like I was, I was so pissed at myself. Corby Scherb: Have Slim Pushins: It seems Corby Scherb: you know, like like let's let's Slim Pushins: to be the theme of you not sleeping. Corby Scherb: let's just say this, Jim Gardner: You Corby Scherb: you know, Jimmy, have you ever blamed a driver? Jim Gardner: Yeah, internally. Slim Pushins: There we are. Corby Scherb: Have you ever have you ever been like outgoing, you know? Jim Gardner: Man I I know like I know how hard it is to drive these things well and consistently. And I know how easy it is to lose a half of a second. I know, you know, and, and, Slim Pushins: New conspiracy theory. Jim Gardner: and I've been pretty disciplined on the last couple of months, you know, the last half of the season, you know, either getting the car right or erring on the side of it, still being drivable and having some comfortability and recoverability in it. And I just missed it and got them kind of pinned, to where it really handcuffed them, the wrong way. and, you know, he's, still did a hell of a job to even make it a race, getting there through traffic. So, you know, you know, but I was also, I Corby Scherb: Jeb, I'll get you a different flavor. Jim Gardner: also had like a, A two day show game plan, know that the big show was Saturday. It paid more money Saturday. That's the winner. Nationals champion is Saturday and they were locking in the top six and. You know I wanted to to if I was going to make a mistake on the car, I wanted it to be Friday and so I got just a little bit too aggressive on it, but it just it it handcuffed him so. I was really bummed when it rained Saturday just to not be able to get it right and. have this bad taste in my mouth, but you'll have that. You know, we're going for it. We didn't show up to run second. And I thought to beat Schebester and Gary Owens, that our car was going to have to be nails. And I went for it it was just too much, you know, but Braxton did a hell of a good job. I'm really proud of him for not only not crashing it, because it been really easy, but for also making a race out of it with Schebester. So he did a really good job all weekend, but Those are the breaks. So now we have some notes to go back on. So we'll see. Slim Pushins: Have you transferred them into your spreadsheet yet? Jim Gardner: I have not. have not. I scan those. So I don't have to redo it, but I just have an electronic copy. I Slim Pushins: You're so high tech. Jim Gardner: also have a tendency to, you know, leave my notebook or throw it in Bates's trailer and destroy it and then not know where it is. Slim Pushins: And go missing. Corby Scherb: Do we have any notes on board? Do we have any notes on board? Jim Gardner: got a couple of notes on board. Not any good. Yeah. Slim Pushins: Just you entire flat track notes. Corby Scherb: I man, Boyd's Jim Gardner: So. Corby Scherb: Boyd's an illusion to us. I it's it's crazy. It's so weird. Jim Gardner: Yeah. Well, it's like, you know, we're getting ready for that main event Friday and Kennedale, you know, the week before we win and we've been to Kennedale a hundred times and we know what it does. And I was able to be aggressive and know it was going to take a big swing. And I thought Lawton was going to do the same thing. I thought Corby Scherb: Mm-hmm. Jim Gardner: that the top would go away, get too far around and it would migrate back to the bottom. And it just never did, you know, from just not having a good You know, maybe I should get on Kerbo's race on account more and go back and study these places. I haven't been a ton of, you know. Corby Scherb: Lot's kinda paper clipped, man, and and turn one has a really weird like kink right in the center of it. it's kinda tough to really roll the bottom there. if the top's there and and Martin's involved with the track prep now and so Martin's gonna try to always keep it top something. And you get you make it Jim Gardner: Yeah. Yeah. It was. It was. Corby Scherb: ledgy up there and it three fives are always gonna migrate there. Jim Gardner: Yeah, it was a hell of a racetrack on Friday night. And like I said, we just, we just missed it, but the it's not the racetracks fault. It was awesome. the lap traffic battle was awesome. You know, Braxton and, and Schebester carving up lap traffic and throwing sliders on each other, man, it was exciting. So there was a, there was a yellow on the first lap. Unfortunately, Martin got into it. but then it goes green to checkers afterwards and it was just a hell of a race. Between those two and unfortunately run second and, it's frustrating to run second. And that's a good, good place to be, but I don't know. So, that was that. And, Slim Pushins: You have the don't you have the video the video from RPM? Jim Gardner: What video of RPM? Slim Pushins: Of the leaders wrecking. No the leaders wrecking. What? Jim Gardner: We already played at Claude's Flip. No, no, I don't have that. Slim Pushins: I thought we sent that to you. Corby Scherb: I don't do that. Jim Gardner: No, you did not send that to me. Slim Pushins: You weren't even there. You didn't even show up. Jim Gardner: Gate operators gotta be installed, man. But now I, Corby Scherb: Chase him, ma'am, chase him. Jim Gardner: yeah. So, anyway, lot was, was cool. It was a cool racetrack. I enjoyed it. The city, not so much. could do more one day shows there maybe, but, it was a good time. So that. Corby Scherb: It's the same like just like I said, you know, the the lappers around here and thirty two cars and and everyone's fast. It's the same in in Oklahoma and God don't undercut any Jim Gardner: There's guys that know what they're doing. Corby Scherb: any of the guys. I mean, Steven and Seth Schebester both rip, you know, Gary Owens, Cooper Sullivan, Tanner Kahn, they're Ryder Leplant, Braxton is technically, you know, from Oklahoma. I know we don't necessarily consider, you know Jim Gardner: Yeah, we claim them here. Corby Scherb: you know, Ryder and Braxton from up there and Oklahoma's got some really, really fast guys and The same whenever you look around in Texas, there there's a lot of guys, especially when it comes to the small bull rings, man. Jim Gardner: Yep. So I said, we, was disappointed in the moment. you know, we knew we had to have a great car to, to, to have a shot to win. And I just, got too aggressive with it. So, but it was good racing up there. I, know, I enjoyed it. Slim Pushins: Well Wesley Wesley just brought up something that we had all forgotten about. You got caught cheating again in Lawton. Jim Gardner: you Slim Pushins: Why don't you go ahead and tell that story? Jim Gardner: I was finding an edge, finding an edge. They wanted to do... Corby Scherb: That's it. I I got called for cheating one time and I there was zero cheating involved whenever I won the the go-kart spectacular. I did not cheat. I did not cheat. There was nothing cheating about what I did. Jim Gardner: No, you cheated that night. Huge. You cheated worse than I've been caught cheating twice this year combined. Well, they did a, they wanted to do Wes's wife wanted to do a, tape measure challenge where you pull the tape, a designated distance. And I had to go into the trailer to get said tape measure. Cause we were already had our stuff loaded up, waiting for the rain to come attack us. And, I just happened to make a little mark inadvertently with a Sharpie right on the 31. Slim Pushins: On the underside. Corby Scherb: I just cre it just it happened, you know. So like I'm I didn't get caught cheating. I didn't cheat. There was n I didn't do anything wrong, yeah. Yeah. Jim Gardner: I just noticed a defect in the tape measure right at the goal that we ended up setting. So. Slim Pushins: No. You bent the rules and then you got caught. Corby Scherb: Didn't I didn't bend the rules. He didn't bend the rules. He Jim Gardner: Look, your crew's not trying to live in the gray area, you're getting beat. I already showed, I don't, Corby Scherb: I agree with Wesley on that one though. Jim Gardner: I didn't drive. Yeah. Slim Pushins: He only gets caught in Oklahoma. Jim Gardner: Look, I didn't drive up there to get beat and I got beat Friday. So I wasn't going to get beat again. Anyway, that is my story to Lawton. Now I don't have to go back for eight years again. So anyway, that's that. So you guys want to get into some shenanigans, some video shenanigans that I found? Slim Pushins: Corby hold on. Corby, I have a no a show note. What's it like to slow motion Tommy Tip over? What were we talking about? Corby Scherb: we were talking about my my little flip at Waco. well, I don't I don't Slim Pushins: But there was a reason. That happened to somebody lately. Corby Scherb: remember why it came up. I don't know if Jimmy ever has. I and I don't remember why it was brought up, but like that's like the worst feeling in the world. Like you know that you're going over, like you get into someone and it does Slim Pushins: In slow motion. Corby Scherb: so I actually I think it might have been about d driving or something. So like you're Slim Pushins: Are you yelling? Are you Corby Scherb: Yo no, like your rule of thumb is, if the car starts hopping or anything like that, don't do anything with your hands. Just keep your foot in the gas and like let it happen. And you'll more often than not, you're gonna drive out of it. but if the car ever dies, like you're just dead weight. There's nothing you can do. You're sitting there and you're like praying to everything holy that this doesn't happen. Slim Pushins: Yeah. Corby Scherb: And then there comes that point where you're like, We're going over. There's nothing I can do, we're going over. And the the worst pain that you have inside of that is cringing, praying that you don't hear metal crinkling. If you hear metal crinkling, pray that Jimmy and Wesley have a wing already pulled out because we just folded up a top wing going half a mile an hour. Jim Gardner: It's expensive, Kregel. Corby Scherb: Jimmy, have you ever had a Tommy tip over? Jim Gardner: No, I only crash huge. I'm on the gas. 100 % gas like they have in Oklahoma. Corby Scherb: And I I was on the gas and someone spun out and then came back across the racetrack a little bit and I got on the the binders real hard and stuffed into the side of them and it it made like two little hops and it was like we're done. This is it. Blam. Slim Pushins: We're going over. Help me out for Winfrey. Corby Scherb: You ever you ever said Jim Gardner: I usually. Corby Scherb: that, Kerbo? I'm going down? That's that's what that's what I did. Jim Gardner: Yeah Yeah Slim Pushins: Yeah. I did. Were we were we a boy I've told that story on the podcast. Were we a boy that night? Corby Scherb: yeah. yeah. And Heather loves that one. Jim Gardner: Yep. yeah. Yep. Slim Pushins: Nobody nobody was around when I went down at Waco. Corby Scherb: It was a win. Slim Pushins: No. It was a stack of teeposts laying there in the dark. Jim Gardner: over there by the ambulance Slim Pushins: Yeah. And it Jim Gardner: Hahaha Slim Pushins: what's we were waiting the race before us, everybody was stacked up in the shooting the race before us kept just going and going and going. I think I was down there with Jeb that weekend or that night. And I walked over there and I actually turned my flashlight on and made a n a mental note where the stack of T posts were. And then I walked back toward the chute about twenty-five feet and I was leaning on a barrier and looking at my phone, seeing how many laps were left. So then I walked back over to where I was standing completely disregarded the middle note that I'd made where the stack of T posts were. Walked straight into it, caught my left foot, and I went I went down to one knee. That knee on top of the stack of T post, it's bleeding. My feelings are hurt. Jim Gardner: Hahaha! Slim Pushins: It's complete darkness. Corby Scherb: At this point are you praying that no one else saw you? Slim Pushins: I mean we're in a racetrack. If that happens in a racetrack, you just expect to be seen. Corby Scherb: See in the Wesley's comment right there, like, y'all gotta understand, man, I grew up on motorcycles. There was like red flags were someone's getting carted off, someone's getting the noisy ride out. So Wesley goes upside down and I go ripping through there's actually a video I had to find it, of me ripping through the middle of the pack. I didn't know. Slim Pushins: Landon Thompson said you gotta be going fast to get torn up. Jim Gardner: Not necessarily. I prove it every time I crash. You can be not going fast and crash huge. I prove that. Slim Pushins: Well, you had a great showing at Ardmore when you backed it down the embankment. Then your parents went search search party for you and Jim Gardner: Man up. Slim Pushins: you were already back on the track. Jim Gardner: Yeah. Yeah. I could have used the car being torn up in that front. Slim Pushins: I did, James. I did the first thing you do when you fall is look around. Make sure that nobody saw you. Jim Gardner: Ahem. Slim Pushins: But it happened it happened close to the little ambulance lady. Corby Scherb: Yeah, man, it's tough to run Friday nights. Slim Pushins: I hate to hear that. Corby Scherb: it's tough to be kind of on the the south side of the Metroplex and then really kinda far from the Austin area. I know car counts have Slim Pushins: Could be this is Corby Scherb: been down there. we can complain about track prep, we can complain about a hundred different things. but sliding pay scale, there there's a there's a million different things and and sometimes I I'm gonna say this, you know, Jimmy talked huge about the RPM racetrack and I I can have my own opinion about it. There is a reason that there is not promoters lined up to promote races. Every single person Jim Gardner: It's. Corby Scherb: inside of this podcast, Slim Pushins: Yeah, 'cause it's like a Corby Scherb: every single person who watches this podcast, come and fight me. There is a reason that there is not promoters lined up to do it. You know why? Slim Pushins: Be careful what you ask for. Corby Scherb: I d come Jim Gardner: Yeah. Corby Scherb: come get me. You know why? Because it is all but It is not all but it is impossible to make everyone happy, and especially if you run more than just one particular class, you're always gonna have someone upset, you're always gonna have someone angry saying you should have done it like this, you should have done it like that. we've talked about it, you know, Danny and TSS had a great program on a lot of levels, and there is people who will agree with everything they did, and there's people who disagree with ninety percent of their did. Kennedale, Waco, Ardmore, Casey, I I know, dude, like we talked about it the the last year that you stood there and you did it, like I you can't do it, dude. It's it's so tough to stand there and me landing still in here and me throw a fit after the race over a crash that happened that you guys didn't see. But I watched happen. And I'm just one guy inside y'all running one class. It it it's There is a reason that there is not more promoters out there that are begging to have a promoter job. Jim Gardner: I think that's pretty well said. don't 10 out of 10. Slim Pushins: I think Jim Gardner: No, no, no Slim Pushins: I think I think Jim needs to be a promoter. Corby Scherb: man, it it it's it's it's tough. I don't care what anyone Jim Gardner: Nope. Corby Scherb: says, it's tough. It you I don't know that you can have thick enough skin to be a promoter. Slim Pushins: We used to play a game in in when T S S was around, we used to play Corby Scherb: This is going south. Slim Pushins: a game Who's Gonna Bitch at West Tonight? Corby Scherb: Yeah, and it's the same. I mean, you know, Wes Cranfield and what what they do, there's Rick Burdick, Love Rick. it's it's not easy being the person who's enforcing the rules. There's a reason that there's rules. and it's not especially whenever I think that we have a very tight knit group of people in sprint car racing around here and everyone's friends and whenever they gotta go Tell someone that they're illegal and they're done and it sucks that you just ran Jim Gardner: It sucks. Corby Scherb: third and you're done. Go to the trailer. Jim Gardner: It sucks. can vouch for that. It sucks. Corby Scherb: You know. Yeah, and and so the promoter part of it and Waco I I hate it. because who's gonna, you know, take that spot, you know? Boyd has been a r this is the same. In inside of the same realm. Boyd's been around forever and ever. it was built in the seventies for a guy named Mike Kidd, but it has been through Promoter after promoter after promoter after promoter and it is so tough to run on a Friday night, especially whenever Kennedale runs on a Saturday night or and or whenever Devil's Bowl is running on a Saturday night. What what can you do that I I'm not signing up? Kerba, you gonna sign up to be the promoter? Slim Pushins: I don't think I'm promoter material. Corby Scherb: You know, Jim Gardner: Ha ha ha ha! Corby Scherb: Jimmy says no, it it's man, it's tough. It's super tough to be that person. You don't get to sit in a car and or have your hand on a car and It's not for me, for sure. I wanna s no I wanna know someone who's watching right now that'll Slim Pushins: So Corby Scherb: stand up and say, I'll go promote that race. Slim Pushins: Claude Father. Corby Scherb: No that's I don't think he's he he's not gonna do it. Jim Gardner: Cloud's a competitor, man. Slim Pushins: So the thing about the thing about Waco, the thing about Waco, and and this is just my opinion, I think it's gonna be tough to find a buyer that wants to keep it a racetrack. That land o that land right there on thirty five is worth so much money as not a racetrack. my parents used to go to races there when they were in high school. They grew up in the Waco area. I was born in the Waco area. I would really hate the idea of it not being there. It's a staple. Corby Scherb: Jordan, if I was a promoter, flat bills only. Slim Pushins: You're gonna get the double bird, Corby. Jim Gardner: Yeah. Yeah, I think Corby Scherb: Yeah, same man, it it it's outside of Waco and super cool place, man. real high banking. it's just man, to to be an owner and a promoter, I know that's how Waco ran. and then like I said, th the Friday night thing has its its positives and negatives. The same the Amarillo show, I have been told that the reason that they're gonna run Saturday, Sunday is you know, Texas high school football. They don't even wanna mess with that. the Friday night stuff is tough and you're close enough to Kennedale that it affects that if you're gonna be an IMCA. So Slim Pushins: Mm-hmm. Jim Gardner: Tony said, I thought Waco had a promoter and needs a track owner. Slim Pushins: It's that's the truth. The family the family's having to sell it Corby Scherb: Yeah. Slim Pushins: for for family reasons, evidently. Jim Gardner: Right. Yeah, that's over my Slim Pushins: So Corby all that promoter talk. Jim Gardner: head and my understanding. Corby Scherb: Well i i it it's the same though. E even you know, I'll just call black black right now, you know, if the promoter if if if the revenue is enough for a family to continue to own a Slim Pushins: Sure. Corby Scherb: place, then you're not worried about selling it. Then, you know, it's out of sight, out of mind. At least it's money changing hands and you're not losing money. I wanna know how many track owners out there truly make money to the point where they can It's the same, man. I'm I'm gonna call it out right now. Texas Motor Speedway is one of the most beautiful places around. And then you pull into the dirt track and it's just like, What the p is this? Slim Pushins: He he just edited himself, Jim, so you don't have to. Corby Scherb: No, like you can you can Jim Gardner: Yeah, no, I mean Corby Scherb: say that, Jimmy, all you want because three five guys Jim Gardner: that's that's there Corby Scherb: have to stop and lower their wings to get underneath the tunnel. There's no restrooms in the pits. It's just a giant asphalt. Jim Gardner: Yeah, it's it's. Corby Scherb: They've tried how many times to run series races there? Jim Gardner: Well, that's such a bit, but the thing, Slim Pushins: Too expensive to run there. Jim Gardner: the thing is that's such a big corporation. That's such a big entity Corby Scherb: I agree. Jim Gardner: that, you know, any race outside of high limit or there's, think they got a big door slammer race this weekend. That's probably getting it washed out, unfortunately, but like any, you know, Saturday night, you know, Friday, Saturday double header is such a small drop in the bucket to speedway motorsports and the NASCAR. That's a different business model altogether than Kennedale Corby Scherb: It's Jim Gardner: or RPM. Corby Scherb: tough to have a racetrack that is known for creating great ra okay. Jim, to back that up, I went and raced Grayson. Jim Gardner: Uh-huh. Corby Scherb: I know what Grayson's gonna do. Period Jim Gardner: huh. Corby Scherb: the end. It's on a Saturday night, it's in the middle of nowhere. Every single person who lives within what is it? It's I think it's six miles. Once you turn off the road. It's like six miles Jim Gardner: Sure. Okay. Corby Scherb: from from both sides. Any homeowner inside of there hates anyone race car wise. Especially Jim Gardner: yeah. Corby Scherb: whenever sprint cars show up. They can't even get out of the driveways. So then you take it to us coming from Decatur to make it to Waco, it's it's an hour and a half to Elmont to part of Texas Speedway. And on a Friday night it turns into about a two and a half hour drive to make it down there. Jim Gardner: Yeah, remember that time we took that exit and ended up in downtown Fort Worth, like the bar district with the big trailer and trying to make a left turn to get back on the highway. And we're like getting Corby Scherb: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Jim Gardner: out of the truck at a red light to try to flag people down to give us some room. God, man. Nice one. Magellan. No, I, the thing is. Corby Scherb: Hold on. Hold on. Wait, give me a minute. And so that th the the the Friday night stuff is is really, really, really tough. Jim Gardner: The Friday night stuff for weekly shows is going to be super tough, but I think the race at RPM last week proved that if you have an event, people will, will support it. Right. Like maybe, maybe the business, maybe, Slim Pushins: An event if it's made into an event. Jim Gardner: yeah, maybe the business model changes to something that only hosts special events. know, maybe weekly racing is tough. Right. But maybe it's a correct. Corby Scherb: Well, that's kinda to back up your your whole like Texas Motor Speedway and you're saying like different models and blah blah blah, but like high limits. Well, high limits aren't gonna go to Elmont, Texas, but you throw a big three five show You throw a big modified show, something like that, you know. Yeah. Okay. I'm backstepping on my own words here, boys. Go ahead. Jim Gardner: Yeah. Yeah, right. So yeah. Slim Pushins: It's an event. I mean it'll be fairly packed in a few weeks for for high limits. Jim Gardner: Yeah. But yeah, I mean, you know, we went to Lawton, the Outlaws run Lawton, you know, Corby Scherb: Right. Jim Gardner: and, and obviously it's got more space and they can handle, you know, more people. the stands are bigger than, than most of the tracks we go to, but you know, ASCS 360 National Tour is running RPM next week, right? Same place. and you have to, to, to get those shows, but I think just, I don't know. But, you know, would a attract would a promoter or track owner want to do eight big events at Waco and call it a season? Would they make enough money to justify what that land's worth? I don't know. I don't think so. So I don't know. I don't want to be a track owner. It sucks. I just want to be a competitor and not get my car too tight. And that's not working out for me all the way anyway. So anyway. Slim Pushins: Debbie Debbie said Mountain Creek was the perfect distance for all and used to have a full show every Friday. Jim Gardner: Yeah, I went there a couple of times right when I moved here, didn't know anybody and just walked around. I thought it was a cool place. Corby Scherb: I raced there when it was called D FW Speedway. Jim Gardner: Yeah. it was a cool place. Is the, the drag strip still runs down there, right? When they're drag strip next door. Slim Pushins: Is that Yellowbelly? Corby Scherb: Yeah, yellow belly. Jim Gardner: Yeah. Ahem. Corby Scherb: And Kinadill's the exact opposite. No track trip, but you a dirt track. Jim Gardner: Yeah. So, you know, the tracks need to be able to have events and then those events need to be supported. You know, when people stick their neck out like Boyd's paying 1500 and 200 to win, they should get a good field of cars. They get 12 cars and Slim Pushins: Mm. Jim Gardner: lose a bunch of money. Guess what? We're not going to have anymore. know, Slim Pushins: Two hundred to start. Corby Scherb: And well it's not it's not easy right Jim Gardner: exactly. Corby Scherb: now. I mean diesel's six dollars a gallon. it it I Jim Gardner: I agree. Corby Scherb: mean methanol's not getting any cheaper, tires aren't getting tires aren't getting any cheaper, so Slim Pushins: I'm putting red diesel in it next time. It's legal. It's legal now. Jim Gardner: yeah, no, I, I agree, but it's the whole industry that, that, you know, maybe there needs to be more collaboration or understanding of what's going on. So it is what it is, but hopefully. Yeah. Corby Scherb: I can I can fully support that. Fully. Slim Pushins: Jim, let's pull Jim Gardner: Mm-hmm. Slim Pushins: the let's pull the rap video out that everybody's been waiting for. Look at this. Look at the Claude Father's moves. Jim Gardner: You You know? Corby Scherb: It's with the bit of the Dougie there he's got. Slim Pushins: Look at that! Jim Gardner: Well, we're going to Slim Pushins: Who knew? Jim Gardner: get flagged for copyright infringement for something besides race on, know, playing that song over and over on the pod. used to be. Slim Pushins: Ray San, you're already on you're already on Ray San's radar because you've said seventy times today that you don't have an account. You're just boosting off other people. I talked to the clock there it is. Jim Gardner: We could talk over this one, but there's a rider in his crew chief Bobby Kraft. Slim Pushins: Look at Bobby's moves. Jim Gardner: Part of me thinks this is just the actual music Bobby listens to as he's getting Corby Scherb: Probably. Jim Gardner: the handle. I think he was working on Chabester's Car Friday. Kicked my ass. So shout out Bobby. Slim Pushins: Look at the kid kind of flat billing it there. Jim Gardner: Wearing his KO hat. It's a very nice hat. You can get it from StompinSteer.com. so I used to think AI was going to come for, Slim Pushins: That's www.stomp and steer dot com. Jim Gardner: I used to think, I'm pretty worried that AI is going to come from my job and my livelihood, but it turns out all we're going to use it for is to make parody videos of, rap songs between two of the whitest guys we've ever met. Slim Pushins: I talked to the Claude father, I was like, Claude, you're not gonna like this but we're gonna have to show the video. He said send it. It's already been made public. Jim Gardner: I'm pretty sure I saw this show up at the melon bar in Nebraska. Corby Scherb: Probably. Jim Gardner: It was a little blurry for me. was a couple of happy dads in Slim Pushins: Yeah. Jim Gardner: but I'm pretty sure Slim Pushins: That's the move right there. I've watched this thirty times and it's that it's that spinaround armroll for me. Jim Gardner: Yeah. Slim Pushins: Zoloft was the first to do it. Well, the first that I saw and then there's b tons and tons of people doing it now. Tony Stewart and Leah Pruitt did it. There's a bunch of people that have done it, but Jim Gardner: Yeah. Corby Scherb: You ever done anything for Tony Stewart, Jim? Jim Gardner: Tied his tie. Yeah. So for a banquet, like he's a middle schooler going to graduate. Slim Pushins: I don't know what amazes me more that you tied Tony Stewart's tie or that Tony Stewart doesn't know how to tie his own tie. Jim Gardner: Hehehehehe was a good time. That was a good time. I've found this, the outlaws were in California last week and three fives were on the undercard and, here's a guy just sending it over the top. Doesn't lift in traffic. Don't know the guy's name didn't catch it. But man guy blows it over the corner. Slim Pushins: Look at that. Jim Gardner: Corby Scherb style. No lifting drives like Corby Scherb: yeah. Just just let her eat. Slim Pushins: Also Cory Scherb style. Jim Gardner: drives like there's nobody else on the racetrack again. Corby Scherb style. that's my Corby Scherb: Here we go, here we go. Jim Gardner: lane. You have to move me. Take my lane. I think was the comment you made last week. You want to see it again? That's me. You need to move Slim Pushins: Look at that. Jim Gardner: me. That's my line. That's your line. That's my line. Slim Pushins: You don't know how many times Corby Scherb: Casey's on right now. Casey moved me. Jim Gardner: hahahaha Slim Pushins: You don't know how many times in the last five years I've watched Corby do that and just walk back to the trailer. Jim Gardner: Good. Slim Pushins: Like leading the race. Nobody can beat us. Then Corby does shit like that. Jim Gardner: Yeah, man, he they about tore up some shit there Slim Pushins: Then he then Corby gets back to the trailer, pissed off at somebody else because Jim Gardner: Yeah, right. Look at double burden somebody. I said that in the group text. said, who's Ruped double birding? And Corbyn goes, what does double birding mean? was like, what the heck? How big is that rock you've been living under? A decater your whole life. Corby Scherb: California hello. It's the California hello. Jim Gardner: That is not what I understand that to be. Corby Scherb: That is. Slim Pushins: He's not wrong, Jim. Jim Gardner: This is the Corby Scherb: No contact, Casey. Jim Gardner: the big show out in Amarillo that Nathan Moore is putting on 10,000 to win is Sunday. I think they're locking in. I think it's kind of a got a two day format We're racing for some money Saturday But the big money is Sunday. I'm sure he's gonna get a plethora of cars out there on Halloween weekend Kerbo, Slim Pushins: Big word. Jim Gardner: what are you gonna? What are you gonna dress as? to go trick or treating on trailers out in Amarillo. Slim Pushins: A podcast host. Jim Gardner: Corby? You're gonna be too locked in on your fantasy football team on a Sunday. Corby Scherb: What about what about like a like a Febreze can or something like that? Slim Pushins: What? Jim Gardner: most ridiculous thing Corby Scherb: Good do that. Jim Gardner: I've ever heard. And here are the rules for that race. I had to text Nathan for these on Sunday just for everybody to make sure we see. it's essentially a race over race. So with tie Slim Pushins: We you can't call it that. Jim Gardner: breaks. So which is fine. I don't think that really makes a big difference. So I got one. Slim Pushins: I mean you don't have any brakes at all, so Jim Gardner: I know I have too much brakes and that's the problem. So remember a couple weeks ago we talked about the stacked cars race that they're having up at a Wasso Speedway in Michigan. Slim Pushins: Awasso. Jim Gardner: You remember that? is a Corby Scherb: Yes. Jim Gardner: conversation. Yes. Okay. Thank you. Yeah. so that race got Slim Pushins: Back to you, Slim. Corby Scherb: Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm here. Jim Gardner: postponed because I was looking for, for video of it. that race got postponed. They're running it this weekend. So, hopefully we'll have that, but I've seen even drag strips are doing shenanigans this time of year. you know, at the end of the season, every, every racetrack's got bits. It's a pick. Corby Scherb: What are you holding? is that a flathead or a Phillips? It's Slim Pushins: Will you put the screwdriver down? Corby Scherb: a pick. Okay. Jim Gardner: I was rebuilding brake calipers earlier. So a drag strip, I don't know where it's at. Corby Scherb: Y'all have no idea how many calipers were just taken apart at sure racing, but keep going. Jim Gardner: it Slim Pushins: Yes. Look at the old Winnebago pulling up behind. Jim Gardner: Who's got lane choice for quickie tea here I Wonder if I Corby Scherb: Got the four one on the side there, Casey? Jim Gardner: wonder if yellow belly dragway does Drag racing bits at the end of the year. Let's see it again. crap Slim Pushins: That looked like a f that looked like a foot race between me and Corby. Jim Gardner: Well, watch, watch the Christmas tree. Watch how early they leave compared to the Christmas tree. Corby Scherb: They practice, is what you're saying. Jim Gardner: They left on like the second bulb and they see that yeah, they did Slim Pushins: No. That thing that thing's electronic. Jim Gardner: No, not the... Yeah, the Christmas Corby Scherb: Through the floor too. Through the floor. Jim Gardner: tree's electronic, but the drivers are leaving before it hits green. Slim Pushins: No. Let me see. Play it again. Play it again. Corby Scherb: here we go, Kerbo. Kerbo, you ever sit in the seat? Slim Pushins: I've never sat in Jim Gardner: Watch when they leave. It's on the second bulb. It's all right. They're staged. Boom, hit the gas. Slim Pushins: Well, I mean it it's 'cause it takes fourteen seconds for the car for it to start moving. Corby Scherb: D Kerbo no d yeah, that's that's Jim Gardner: Yeah, Corby Scherb: the point. Jim Gardner: that's what I'm talking about. Because it's such a slow... They have so much time because it takes them so long to actually trip the bulbs. Slim Pushins: Airbreaks. Who who won? We just the whole thing? No, the forty one I don't think won. Corby Scherb: Forty one. Casey. Casey Murrell won. Slim Pushins: Casey said that's how I felt in the B Saturday. Jim Gardner: Anyway. man. All right. Well, we got anything else? Are we landing this bird and calling it a call in a show and hopefully not get rained out and see everybody at Boyd on Friday. Slim Pushins: that's it. James Horton said that I guess those crew members got suspended indefinitely for jumping Corey Heim at the snakes at the snack stand. Jim Gardner: Yeah, that big NASCAR fight. Those guys are all idiots. It's like they don't even care about racing. They just want to fight each other. Seriously. It's every week you find a video where pavement late mile guys are throwing hands in the pits. Slim Pushins: I tell you this much, if we're to racetrack and somebody jumps Corby like that, I'm letting them have him. Jim Gardner: Let them go. Let the idiots fight. Slim Pushins: I'm I'm my only concern is get him out of the way to get a corn dog. Corby Scherb: Dude, I remember my f my favorite fight moment that Slim Pushins: Like y'all whoop his ass somewhere else. I just need a corndog. Corby Scherb: now my favorite fight moment there ever was, Brian Smith, he's from Flint, Michigan. He's a little bitty short guy, race motorcycles. He took out this dude named Brian Bigelow in Delmar, California. Brian walked around Brian Smith walked around for the rest of the night for about an hour with his helmet on. Jim Gardner: you Corby Scherb: Because he knew Biggs was coming after him. Slim Pushins: He knew. Corby Scherb: Favorite thing that I ever saw in my life. Then Jim Gardner: Yeah. Corby Scherb: Biggs never did anything to it but but Smith knew, man. B Dog, he he was smart, he kept the helmet on. Slim Pushins: What's up guys? Guys came by when I got to RPM Saturday night and we talked for a while. Jim Gardner: Good deal. Corby Scherb: Guys, talking about that, yeah, we're gonna Kerbo has said that he will come and call a race with Slim Pushins: This is going south. Corby Scherb: you. It's Kerbo. Kerbo's curbo's gonna be the one to call a race. Yeah, just Jim Gardner: That'd be awesome. Just a heat race, Kerbo. Heat race, eight cars. We'll get you a flash card with names and stuff and you could. Corby Scherb: Yeah. Good job, Kerbo bringing him up. Yeah. Hopefully Slim Pushins: Understand Corby Scherb: it it's some crazy names like Slim Pushins: I don't understand why y'all set me up for failure. Jim Gardner: We need it for the Corby Scherb: It'll be worth it. Jim Gardner: content for the show, bro. Corby Scherb: Hundred percent. Hundred percent. Slim Pushins: No, no. That man has a gift. Announcers have a gift that I don't possess. Corby Scherb: You're the only one inside of the show that has like the talk radio voice anyways. Jim Gardner: Yeah, and a face for radio. Corby Scherb: Hundred percent. You're doing it. You're doing it. Slim Pushins: I don't know how to take that. I'm sorry I'm sorry I don't have the all American good looks and chiseled jaw and tan filter that Corby uses. Jim Gardner: Yeah, Corby. It costs me every week. Why do I look so orange? Corby Scherb: You guys are just that pale. You guys are just that pale. Slim Pushins: He did. I was in the car when he called you. Jim, Jim Gardner: That's just your skin tone. Slim Pushins: why do I look so orange on YouTube? Jim Gardner: Yeah. Slim Pushins: Jim goes, What are you talking about? Corby goes, my bad. Jim Gardner: Because that's what I have time to do. Slim Pushins: My bad. It was the it was my T V settings. Jim Gardner: That's my TV. Corby Scherb: Even right now, like the you two guys and how pale y'all are compared to me Slim Pushins: Okay. Corby Scherb: is next level. So Jim Gardner: Yeah. Yeah. All right. Slim Pushins: Okay. Jim Gardner: Land this bird Kerbo. Let's get out of here. Thanks everybody for joining us. Slim Pushins: Alright everybody, thanks a lot for joining us and all the comments every week. I don't know why y'all do it, but we really appreciate it. it makes it fun for us. especially, you know, y'all coming to talk to us at the track, want to know where the hell Corby's at. I'm over it. But y'all come talk to Jim right when he's leaning down, doing tire pressures. That's when he loves to have good conversation. Jim Gardner: Yep, either right before the heat race or directly after. It's the perfect. Slim Pushins: Corbin, I'll see everybody at Boyd with canoes. Y'all come Y'all come talk to us. Thanks everybody. Jim Gardner: Yeah. All right. See you guys.
