I guess anyone can board the struggle bus from time to time.

Hasn't the 44.3 only been out for a year? Why would a totally new 4wd buggy be coming already?

Obviously Maifield is getting old and has lost his touch.

But seriously, I get a kick out of what people expect of factory drivers. I just looked at the last round ran (round 4). In 2wd RM had a real bad first lap (extra 4.5 seconds), would have been 1.5 off tq without that. He ran a quicker fast lap than the tq. In 4wd he had a slow last lap, pace was .6 off tq until that point.

The 44 series started as the Jconcepts Bj4 which debuted at the 2003 Ifmar Worlds...13 years ago. It went through a couple changes at JC and was sold to AE a few years later which started the B44 series...there have numerous changes over the years with the B44.1, B44.2 and the B44.3....The original design has been around for a bit...

Lmao maifield has "lost his touch." That's easily the dumbest statement I have heard all week and quite possibly in 2016.

imo, to move the race to another month would have the same drastic results.
Nope, people aren't going/didn't go because it sucked last year. It needs to go back outdoors. We had 8 guys last year and it wasn't worth the effort. None of us knew anything about a NASCAR race, we just didn't want to go back. It was more fun before it went to SRS.

This is the feeling of most including myself that went last year! I had a horrible time at the Cactus! It was my first time going and the last time I will ever go as long it's at that track!
