John Schmidt runs 820

Okay okay ok... I meant like curbs, dirt, even some contact - just get there.

People, fair warning an almost totally off topic post about racing. Straightline, when I was racing dirt there was a track the owner tried mightily to make perfect, track and grounds. Just inside of turn one there was a small mudhole. My left front tire went into the mudhole every lap! The track owner asked me why I hit the mudhole every lap. I told him the truth, I just herded the car around the track, the car chose the exact path. I tried a few times staying out of the mudhole but the car must have been part pig, it liked running in the mudhole! I also ran snuggled up against the wall on the straights so I was using every bit of the track and a little more!

I told him I wouldn't be upset if he put a big tire or mound of dirt where the mudhole was at but as long as I could run there I had to. It was the fastest way around the track for my car.

As for contact, I have never been black flagged but I have caused the flagman to pick it up a handful of times. Mostly I preferred a polite nudge at exactly the wrong moment for the other car and plausible deniability!

OK, back to the regularly scheduled program!

I won't mention any names but anybody that could run 820 legal or not could run 833 if they had the balls of a bull gerbil!

Earl like so many incredible people can be outrageous but his accomplishments are just as outrageous,

There was a time when he was the best of the best and that cannot be argued by anyone .,

Cuetec sucks. Earl is right about that. 100%
When a guy puts packs on everybody its hard to ignore. Like you say, he was the best of the best, he made 9 ball a joke. A true artist

I have Earls cue made by Mobley, 6 shafts and each one is the same size all the way back to within ~ 4" of the joint, absolutely the way all shafts should be. I have a Ted Harris that over the years I had him move it back and back and back lol. He always complained and I said, hey, its my cue just do it lol. Poor Ted and my insanity, turns out, maybe I wasn't insane after all....or there were 2 of us 🤣
