It's Time

September 4, 2009 By Bobby G

For me to head to the track. I’m scared to go. I’m nervous. Not about the announcing. The vibes I’m pickin up on. Do you ever just have those types of weird ass feelings that you can’t figure out why you are thinking them. I’ve had them all morning. Maybe it’s the emotional state I’m in. The stresses I’m feeling.

I’m scared shitless about this race. MSA/ISMA/Oswego. Just about every one of my dear friends will be there. My dawgs. All strapped in. Ready to cheat death again at the place I love. I’m a bit overwhelmed and all I can do right now is get jacked up on some Black Crows, SRV, Velvet Revolver and finally some Incubus.

It’s just me. I miss Biggie. Wish he were here to make me laugh and forget about the nerves. I’m fortunate to have the surrounding love I do from friends and family.

It’s time. It’s time to get on my knees and say a prayer for all of my friends all of OUR friends who go out there to do battle at the “Home of the Supermodifieds.” It’s time to go racing. Classic Weekend begins NOW!

It just goes to show that you care about each & every one of these drivers.The Super family is close,no matter what organization you are from.I think we all get that feeling from time to time.I know I do everytime Vern goes out as I help strap him in.All we can do is pray for Gods hedge of protection around each driver out there, as I do when waiting for the green to drop.See you @ Star Bobby G!

@Scott-Buddy, I do care about them all and it shows how fast people get pulled in…just look at you! I’ll keep praying to the All-Mighty but I’ll still always be nervous! Thanks for commenting!

Dear Bobby G. I am a member of the Bobby G. fanclub. I am so excited to see my picture - alongside my buddies Bart and Half-Mile Hemingway & yourself on the Front Page of your website. The fact of the matter is: I haven''t seen a Super Modified race since the fifties and I had a great time yesterday down in Toledo. You did a great job announcing. I am glad to have met you. You are an asset to the sport. Seeing those pictures this morning (Bruce told me about your website) brought back the excitement from yesterday. My ears are still ringing. We three old men have decided to make this an annual event! Chuck Clemens

Love the show, you all do an amazing job. Thanks, Kevin Timmins

Hi Bobby, Great interview with Mike Lichty....really got me pumped for the upcoming season. I saw my very first Supermodified Race when I was about 12 and have been addicted ever since! That was back in the 60's when the "Supers" exploded in the London, Ont. area at tracks like Delaware, Nilestown and later Flamboro. Great site! Many thanks, Mike Graham

Thanks for the great shows! Keep it up-that's "Wing Side Up" See you at the reunion! Joe Prevost

I thought the webcast was awesome. There were obviously some glitches but that didn’t bother me in the least. It was just great to be able to watch live west coast super racing! And now you are telling I won something, SWEET! ~ Clint Moulton

Great show first time Ive tuned in and I'm loving it. What did I win? :) ~TJ Woolsey

Thank You guys the show is awesome! ~ Ray Sand Jr.

I’ve been a race fan for 55years and this is my 1st year as a super fan and i have totally enjoyed it. The speed , no radios,no mirrors and no passing flag puts it all on the driver. I grew up going to Seekonk and last sat. was my 1st trip there in 25 years it’s gone from being a dump to a really nice track. Both super divisions put on a fantastic show hope they come back next year. Plattsburg,NY was awesome I was disappointed that Woody won until he pulled my # for the 50/50 drawing. That changed my mind in a hurry sure hope they go back there next year. I can’t make Thompson so I’m in countdown mode until next year. Oh ya love your show and listening to you at the tracks. ~ Charlie Williams

Love Supermodifieds, and Wing Side Up! ~ Ben Roberts

I appreciate your consideration and I was on this afternoon. I like what you do and i'm sure the racing guys all like it also. You are the only voice we have and hopefully our fans become aware of this because it's all so positive. Thanks again~Lou Cicconi SR.

We want to thank you very much for the much needed news about our favorite cars. Supermods are the best class of race cars. We''''ve loved them ever since Boyd Showers brought out the first off set car in the 70''''s at the San Jose Speedway. We were hooked ever since. We hope to see you again this race season and hope that our Jeff Russell gets back to good health soon, we miss him. Keep up the great work that you so Bobby!-Kathleen Smith

Thanks for helping to keep the torch lit, Bobby. Your involvement and love of the sport is the spirit needed to keep it growing. Denny from Garfield Heights, OH USA
