2009 V8 DIrt Modified Masters!

Elaborate on Cheque Book Racer......

...... or does he just have good sponsorship packages?????

 

A very naieve person would call Robbo a "cheque book racer". Mark is in a very fortunate position where as his family are speedway fans and they all support his chosen sport to the max.
Most racers race the division they can support those that race above what they can sustain are fairly quickly lost to the division or the sport.
Most V8 Dirt Modified owners are small business owners and often can not travel away from their business for to many days as their business must come first

 

Thats right!!! .............

 

MIDPACK is man enough to eat his words Robbo drove great tonight workin the high groove was great to see absolutely smoked em well done Robbo!

 

Hope your words taste like crap midpack.....lol

The good ole Cheque book helped him tonight ay????

 

Didnt have anyone to beat after britten crashed.

 

midpack,i think u need to take off your anti robbo glasses and actually give credit for what he achieves. last night he was far from handed the race after britten crashed!!!

 

Read my other post ANDY025 i did!

 

Well why go make a comment like this afterwards then midpack????

 

i just thnik midpack has no idea. he doesnt like robinson.but he show the way in lapper traffic that was for sure.made the outside pass so quick

 

How good was the racing last night? Plenty of action through the whole pack even the Aussie built cars were inthe mix having a great duel I watched a Brad Marr,Tim Morse and a Greg Gardner chassis have a great battle. The excitement of MODIFIEDS is in the whole field anything can happen at any time and considering the shitty track last night I feel the drivers all put on a great showing, maybe all the drivers could donate a load of clay each and a couple of candles for each light pole.The track can only get better and the racing more spectacular.

 

all i can say midpack, you know who robbo is, why dont you go
and ask him why he is not going to the title, your such a big man
behind a computer screen!

 

He's probable a little slow and dose not realize that there are other racers on here who might be offended buy his comments. (Didnt have anyone to beat after britten crashed)

 

dose any body have any results from last night.

 

Sorry but didn't Latimer run second?
He cruised by both of them the week I was there.

 

I did mate he said he needed more horsepower so Luke didnt round him up on the otside like at the masters.

 

you know all the money in the world will only get you so far ,i had a good conversation with one of crusty's ex crew members and former super sedan ace (you guys read between the lines ) and sure robo has good equipment ,sure he may have some good sponsors that contribute dollars to his racing programe ,but i assure you while the rest of you are at home after the speedway tucked up in bed asleep ,crusty is back in the work shop scaleing the car and rechecking caster toe fuel burn etc etc ,oh yeah thats after the car is washed ,you see the show i used to run in was the same ,beacuse you actually make a point of researching what you do and catologue youre efforts and treat it as a sport wich requires a lot of time to master but all the other wankers leave there cars on the trailer ,do no work at all untill sat morning or at best sit around with nothing better to do than whinge and whine about the people that they wish they were (you merv and red rocks) ,man up pull youre heads in and give credit where its due ,the only way to be fast is to put a lot of effort in and then when youre actually at the races you got to read the track as well and make sure you make the right call for that track on the night ,you might have one inch of roll out to much or to little in the car and guess what the bloke that hasen't will go around you like youre stoped ,he's a new south welshman and probably does deserve a fair razing but dont underestimate the amount of effort the guy puts in

 

You cant get any more closer to the truth than this.

John, I am sure Krusty will appreciate everything you have said there.

Considering he laughed off the comments about the "cheque book racer" comments....

I have never witnessed a more thorough person when it comes to race car setup and preparation.
Mark puts alot of effort into the prep and set up of his race car, which is something a cheque book couldn't buy!
