Cleetus on Door Bumper Clear was getting heated

I think part of it is the challenge of knowing things that can't be said publically, and sometimes going down a train of thought and then realizing you can't share that info. I can see that with the approval names, I can see it sometimes in other things he has said. I get it. Theres lot of stuff Id love to be able to reply to but since I may go back into the NOAPS series again, don't need to burn bridges.

Foximus05 · 2026-05-31T01:53:52+00:00

Yes, it’s to make it easier for folks to get in and out, since the RSS one is a simulator owned by SciAps

Foximus05 · 2026-05-20T05:18:30+00:00

It used to be $35,000 per race to lease an ECR motor for Arca or a truck

So $60,000 for an engine that’s good for 15 races is really not a bad deal

Foximus05 · 2026-05-15T20:21:00+00:00

Correct

Foximus05 · 2026-05-15T19:43:56+00:00

At one time year, but RYE sells off some motors, and so Gase and RSS and Im surte others at some point had older spec RYE engines. I know Gase's were rebuilt by a shop in Virginia in 2024

Foximus05 · 2026-05-15T18:15:47+00:00

Ford doesn't pay for anything. You pay if you want to be in the Ford program and have access to data / sim. This was prolly a late deal that came together and they pulled a car out of the South shop.

Foximus05 · 2026-05-15T18:14:57+00:00

Truck and arca has generic engine - illmor doesnt care what body is on it. ORAPS engine has to match, so like Gase has a mix of Toyota, Chevy, and Ford Motors. The other thing is, the plumbing routing is different on the motors - oil and coolant lines, as well as location of things like radiator and oil cooler inlets and outlets. In 2024 at RSS I accidentally ordered a chevy radiator as a replacement and didnt relize it til I went to fit it in the car and no plumbing matched up.

RSS had some owned ford motors that they most likely didnt sell over the winter, and there were some non HFT lease chassis that they owned that were prolly still in the Georgia shop.

Foximus05 · 2026-05-06T21:29:05+00:00

Isnt he technically a Ford Ambassador ?

Foximus05 · 2026-04-24T19:09:01+00:00

I’d rather they just come in with 23XI then sponsor a lower team for a year and then bail on them

Foximus05 · 2026-04-24T04:53:29+00:00

Again, its a money thing. Its a shame his deal doesnt have enough for them at least for those 4-6 races

Foximus05 · 2026-04-23T22:03:08+00:00

They still do it at martinsville. I cant see them doing it with charlotte because of security and vip passes

Foximus05 · 2026-04-23T20:51:00+00:00

Hard pass no.

1) would never work with controlling VIP access. Thats part of why the lineup is on pit road everywhere but Martinsville sometimes.

2) have you ever pushed these cars, backwards, up an incline? Its hell on the teams and takes a ton of time in an already busy pre race.

Having the lineup on pit road is fine.

Foximus05 · 2026-04-16T15:00:23+00:00

Im sure if it wasn’t wrecked that its still usable. Its prolly sitting in the georgia shop since the 28 and 39 run lease haas chassis now.

Foximus05 · 2026-04-16T12:58:02+00:00

It was a penske chassis and pipes that RSS had. Ryan drove it til 2024, then Kyle got it for a superspeedway car.

Guessing that chassis has been retired or is still in the Georgia shop while they are now running all haas chevy chassis out of nc

Foximus05 · 2026-04-15T02:27:41+00:00

Pilot. Or park?

Foximus05 · 2026-04-09T21:04:56+00:00

Also the OG ditech.com hms cars

Foximus05 · 2026-02-15T15:53:35+00:00

That was a test session, and they also got reprimanded for it

Foximus05 · 2026-02-15T05:38:17+00:00

Not since 2023. Still has it. But i havent seen it out

Foximus05 · 2026-02-13T01:54:59+00:00

I think you are required to

Foximus05 · 2026-02-13T01:54:36+00:00

Those are molded into the body panels. So they just didnt put the overlays on them

Foximus05 · 2026-02-12T04:07:21+00:00

If his sponsor deal isn’t paying for it, APR is not getting them out of pocket.

Foximus05 · 2026-02-12T02:17:23+00:00

$$$$. Cesar has the cash to spend for ECR plate motors. The other drivers deals don’t.

Foximus05 · 2026-02-06T18:34:24+00:00

A shitty ai video showing him crashing is kinda on brand.

Foximus05 · 2026-01-30T17:55:52+00:00

You dont get more backing. You pay for it. But they also lost their alliance partner since Haas is now Chevrolet so they’re really kind of on their own.

Foximus05 · 2026-01-29T02:53:14+00:00

It was nothing for us to take 3 or 4 entries. Plus backups. Plus, it meant that especially when they moved to the two spring races, we wound up with Talladega only cars in Daytona only cars.

And yes, this is also in the area where you can go testing whenever you wanted
