Forgive me if this has been discussed on here before.....but I see J.R. has been running the Torco car at Pomona and Phoenix.

Does anyone know if this is an associate sponsor deal or what?

Not complaining....just curious.....glad he's still out there competing.



.

I was wondering that very thing!

I think an exception was made because the deal had already gone to Lucas prior to the big announcement.

I'm not sure if I heard this right or not but in the first round did Paul Page so JR was driving for Dextor Tuttle?

You did! It was a typical mistake by our own Paul Page! He's known to do that from time to time!

I'm not throwing him under the bus for this one, I'll bet that it came up on the prompter.

Even so, he should of realized that it was wrong.

Not to hijack this thread, but the substance of this made me wonder....Does anyone else here yell SHUT UP!!!! at the tv when Paul Page is talking??.... or is it just me???

I use the Mute button, any time GG asks How do you feel... he gets on my nerves more than Paul.

I think Forrest Lucas is a smart man, and when he took over the deal he insisted on a solid contract. One that Torco was obligated to fulfill regardless of the state of the other Torco "handshake" deals.

But I don't know anything for sure, of course, this is just my guess.

Man am I glad to hear someone else say that! Ever time I hear those turnaround interviews I almost throw up in my mouth

EXACTLY what I've been thinking.

While I'm on the subject though...

As I sit and watch many of these Torco drivers struggle with sponsorship or not be racing at all (Dave Connolly!), it really, REALLY burns me that in my MySpace bulletins, just about every freakin' day, there are bulletins from Torco and/or Evan Knoll about the motorcross team, or snowmobiles. I've tried to be understanding through this whole thing, as I appreciate Mr. Knoll's huge-normus contributions to our sport for the last bunch of years, but it sucks.

You can still have 1/4 mile racing if you don't go get a hot dog after the fuel classes.

IMO - I wonder why he is even there...
His voice reminds me immediately that he's an Indy car guy, not a Drag Racer!!

Dave Reif (sorry if I misspelled) does a Great job...
He and DUNN could / should run the whole show.

Andy, I believe the company involved with motocross and snowmobile racing is Torco Oils, a different company.

It's definitely Torco Racing Fuels. The guy that won the Houston Round of the AMA Supercross was sponsored by Torco Race Fuels. It was plastered on his jersey.
