i would like to know when a racecar 60 pounds over its weight in the heat race is ok . and then it races in the feature race the same car they say is ok comes up 5 pounds under its weight they it not good and dq the car. after all the hard work went in for the pitcrew and for the driver to drive his butt off to win and to make from the back to the front.and to make out of the race with out tearing up the car.

Mr. Revis that post is about me and my guys. I won the heat and weighed 3254 and the weight is 3200. I added 5 gal of gas and had a flat leading the main came in and changed it came back out and me and the 4 car wrecked(that's another story) had a flat LR fixed it and came from the rear and won but we crossed the scales and they SAID it weighed 3194. How does that happen? The thing is i get home and checked it on our scales and it weighs right. I have stuck up for the track and have talked it up to people and have gotten on other sites and posted what was going on trying to get more cars and it won't happen anymore. I usually say what the hell that's racin but not this time I keep getting it from these guys and all because I am not liked much and someone else is, and to top it all off one of the family members told me that i should have known it was gonna happen cause they like one person and dislike another. Yall have fun the rest of the year and good luck to you guys I wish Rat Hole Racing the best you guys are a great group. Also I will come by your shop this week I have something that is yours and need to return it. CODY BROWNING

okay........I have let go the racing incident that happened on the track.I have not thought one thing else about it since. I was told that you had a flat left rear when we made contact. I CAN LIVE WITH THAT. THAT IS RACING. I had to leave Sunday night immediately after I exited the race. I didnt have time to come discuss things. and another thing...if you had been on the outside and ran through the fluid...in the groove....RIGHT AT THE FIRING POINT COMING OUT OF 4... AFTER THE 07 CRASHED.you would have understood why I got sideways on the start. and when we hit..I wasnt even in the throttle at all. I was making EVERY EFFORT to keep from spinning out in front of the whole field. BUT..we ended up hitting.I never turned down and intentionally hit you. Cody, you know as long as I have raced you...I have NEVER RACED you dirty not one single lap, and I dang sure am not about to start racing you, MUCH LESS ANYONE ELSE dirty. I dont kiss anyone's rear end over there. I NEVER HAVE and NEVER WILL. I earn respect by driving, not brown nosing. and as far as the points race goes...IF I AM GONNA WIN A CHAMPIONSHIP....I AM GONNA DO IT CLEAN AND WIN IT ON THE TRACK CLEAN..NOT DIRTY. I am just making my end known, considering I just got home from Ohio. Also....nobody with my car said a word about your car's weight. I know your car is legal in all categories....

Matt the left rear was flat after I came back down out of the air. Everyone has there opinion on what happened and I don't care about it right now. What I do care about is the fact that I have been screwed several times this year and this weekend ecspecially and now it has cost us a championship. Hell i don't mind working for it and it would have been a close race between us but the fact is i was screwed and it cost us and now my guys and my couple of sponsors and my family don't want me to race there anymore cause they are tired of the crap. We may be back but it won't be this year i may race 1 or 2 at dega and get ready for next year. So I guess you gotcha a championship just sucks how you got it, I wouldn't mind so much if you had beat me without the mishap. See ya at a track again though. CODY BROWNING

cody i can see why your car may have been light you guys went 30 laps under caution that was the longest race of the night by far i agree you drove your ass off to get back to the front and i hate that you came up light at the end of the night i know too that the scales are not exactly correct according to my scale about 40 lbs different but they have been consistant so i just adjust accordingly sorry to hear you wont be back i think a good ol fashion shoot out between you and matt would be interesting with only a few weeks left so i hope you work it out best of luck ronnie

Thanks Ronnie and it would be good to still go for it but he is so far out without atleast one double points race i am done for. He has a 60 point lead and if i won he is gonna finish2nd or 3rd and only gaining 2 or 4 or 6 points on him for only a few weeks it is just impossible to catch him. It was a very long race and i was sick in bed for 2 days before that and was still very sick that day and it made it that much worse I didnt think it was gonna ever end. All in all I feel like we have had a good year though and we have learned alot. I may race 1 or 2 more this year but prolly at Dega and then start getting the new body on it for next year. We have been scraping up money to even make it every week and I cant keep making everyone do that so we will not race much more. Good luck to all and we may see yall again for the year is over, I may come watch in a couple weeks. We got the Dega 100 and then we are going to the World Classic at MMS. CODY BROWNING

all I am doing is making my point..I did not get into you on purpose. you have NEVER raced me dirty, so i have no reason at all to race you dirty. yeah..i wanted it to come down to the wire in our points race too. I enjoy racing against you all the time because i ALWAYS know the race will be a clean one. granted..I agree you got rooked. because your car has NEVER been underweight..but all of a sudden it is light. I am scratching my head on that as well. I was wanting a down to the wire battle....but like I said, I hate you got screwed. Again...I did not get into you on purpose on the track. I have no reason to do that....I hate that the mishap with our cars happened.It would have been super tight points race all the way to the last lap. My car took a helluva lot more damage. I SOMEHOW busted the radiator, and got 2 tires. I give you credit...you drove a good race and won it from the back. I wish my radiator hadnt got screwed up where I could have came back out.

Really hate to hear that you won't be there anymore Cody. We all have our favorites and in that class you were by far the one I was pulling for. Havn't been in several weeks...been babysitting grandson,, but you can bet I keep up with it. Dang....I just hate when stupid stuff happens...I pray the track will make it...because I LOVE this sport so much... and then a driver that supports the track gets screwed. Well I know who not to be for....lmao
Good luck whereever you race Cody...

Matt it is no big deal, I am just tired of the crap at the track. I have had fun all year and we may be back but not this year. Mrrs. Sayles thank you for your support and we will race in a few weeks at Dega but I have a few other commitments with the Dega 100 i am helping a buddy and the first weekend of October I am gonna be crewing for a buddy on asphalt but we are gonna make one or two races at Dega before the season ends. Then if I dont sell or trade my car I will put on new body and be ready for next year. If yall know anyone interested I am willing to trade my car or sell it rolling or race ready. Willing to trade for a late model so i can race crates or maybe sportsman just depends but really want a crate car or maybe a HArley depending on what it is or a GSXR1000, R1, Hayabusa. Thanks again for your support MRs Sayles CODY "PHAT BOY" BROWNING
