Cory Mac to start his own team

#16 08-02-2007, 01:31 PM

I'm happy for Cory, he gets to run it his way again. I just don't see him being a blocker for anybody. He wants to win and he doesn't lay down for anyone. Hopefully the Mac Attack is back!!

Hopefully Cory will now start to run a little better. I would like to see him in the winner's circle a few times before the year is over.

Did I read that correctly? Scott Griffin is still going to be a part of the program on the hospitality side? Where is all the stuff he bought from the Carrier Boyz going? Will Rahn still be involved? Do I remind anyone of a kid on a long trip?

So many questions?

Good one! I guess we will know the answer to those questions at Brainerd!

no wait stop me .. I've seen this movie before but, I think it had a Pro Stock car as the main characters the last time.

Scene 1. I'm leaving and move in with Don and you can't stop me...

Scene 2. I like what you have done for me but I need to be free....

Scene 3. What the hell was I thinking...

Old story.. new players.......

I hope things work out for Cory. Unfortunately he's gotten more exposure for his crashes than successes. He's been one of the best out there for a long time. He has certainly devoted his life to the sport, so I would love to see him reap some big rewards. I know there are sponsor logos to consider, but I hope even for 1 race he sports the colors of his '92 car. Still a bass-a** looking car, 15 years later.

The only reason I mentioned blocker was that it seems odd to have to buy new stuff when they guy who owned his stuff before is still with him??

Why not just buy that and use it?

Also does this mean Tahbler is now with Cory or does Scott have something else going on (which is why Cory couldn't buy the stuff)

Or maybe Scott Doesn't own the stuff they are using?

Don't some of you guys read? I swear some people read half the story and jump to Nitromater to give thier 2 cents before they read the enite story and think about it for a second. Cory is not buying the stuff, he is leasing it. Similar to how Bazemore leased his deal out years ago. It's probably a race to race deal, where the lease is $XXX amount per race for the rest of the year, or whatever the term is. I assume it is becasue Cory does not have the funds to buy a team outright for now, but with sponsor money coming in, he can lease the stuff from Don and continue on without missing any races.

Also, if Cory matched his lease term with the sponsorship term for when his sponsorship is up, (or Cory looses his sponsors) Don gets the stuff back, and Cory is not stuck with a top fuel team he can not afford to run by himself like he would be if he bought it. This deal makes a lot of sense to finish out the season with.

Thank Yew Professor Songas for splainin' that there to all of us!!!

Why doesn't someone call Scott Griffin and ask him? He said if we ever had questions...and gave us this number.

I thought he bought out the Carrier boys earlier this year?

Maybe because Don $chumacher has way more money and way better equipment than uh...Scott Griffin.

Just a hunch.
