Stick Shift racers at St. Louis

Pretty good showing so far for the stick guys. Down to 6 cars and 3 are sticks! Bob Gipson (#6 qualifier) ,Kevin Helms, and Dave Picht! All these guys have a milllion miles of stick shift racing so it should be good! Heavy hitters left with the autos on the other side. Nothing freaks out automatic guys than stick guys on a roll! Go Bob! Jim.

An all stick final is too rare these days.

Two stick cars in a final.....motors on tilt...tree comes down... and we all cringe, wondering how in the H E double Q a ring gear or an axle can take it.

C'mon, everyone admit it: THAT is how it was meant to be!

Shame on you Jim eating our food and cheering for someone else! (JUST KIDDING) I guess before I feed racers lunch the next time I will have to get you guys to sign a waiver proving where your loyalty is??

It goes without saying who I'm cheering for!

Yeah yeah I know. However, Kevin never let me drive his race cars like Bob has for the last 25 years!

I will make you a deal, if Bob wins, I will make you lunch next time!

Kevin Helms · 05-06-2007, 01:43 PM

Okay, I'll go for Bob and Kevin being in the final and whoever wins can buy lunch (Bob or Kevin)! Why should you or I be doing any work? If, you just want to drive one of the cars where are you when we are teching in...you can drive next time! I think they are tooooo loud, there's no air conditioner and no radio. Obviously, racing is really over rated! HA!

Tell Bob I said good luck...just not toooo much!

I will take that! Looks like Kevin cruises a bye to the final.
Gipson vs. Stinnett in the semis! More great racing to come!
