***OFFICIAL PRESS RELEASE***
This week on, Inside ARL.
An official statement from the owner of Short Bus Window Lickers,
@Neutty.
"Last season TRD approached me and asked if i would help them develop the Supra for competition. In return they would give us 6 cars to start a team. Unfortunately on our second race out, we were forced to sideline the car due to needing repairs. TRD was just not ready with the 2nd car just yet. When word got out that I would be starting a team up for season 2, we were approached by a ton of possible sponsors and promoters. It seemed that we had endless possibilities such as,
DEATHWISH COFFEE, ZIPPO, MARLBORO, MELLO YELLO, FORD RACING (They tried really hard to pull us into the GT), Haas even tried to get us to drive that junk mustang. Joe Gibbs wanted offered unlimited funding if needed, BLACK RIFLE COFFEE COMPANY and many others approached us as well looking to get into the series. They all really pushed for us to join them really hard, they even said that they would all drop out of the series if i didnt drive for them. Sadly we had to turn them down and it is looking like they found
drivers at the bottom of the barrel."
(reporter) "What do you mean bottom of the barrel?"
(Neuttyy) "Well,
@Herimopp89 and
@Jw_wk1010 of course. I mean NO DISRESPECT to everyone else who developed a relationship with the sponsors and promoters. Honestly, with
@Herimopp89's drug addiction, they should ban him for this season,
but hes on the board, and whats weird is when i went to ARL's office to discuss their Viper having foul play, both heri and jw climbed out from under the table real quick like. (chuckling) Kinda makes you wonder who was doing what to get heads turned."
(reporter) "So tell us more about what we should expect this year from Short Bus Window Lickers."
(Neuttyy) "Well, we are very excited to announce the partnership with primary sponsors,
ALPINESTARS, AND ROCKSTAR ENERGY DRINK. They have given us unlimited funding and have basically made this team. We have some developmental drivers coming in this season that will run limited schedules with some "test" setups. We have 5 Supras and 1 FT-1 VGT from TRD, and some amazing talent off the track. We are expecting great things out of this team, the stable is ready for everything that will come at us. In fact, the team is so ready, that we have spent the past week at home with our families with the cars completely loaded up and ready to go.
@SkidMarkQueen and
@Slydewayz43 are jumping on board as well as developmental drivers.
@Grandpa Money even hinted a possible outing later in the year. Our cars feel really good on track and this new car still has a few things to get ironed out, but we feel it is the best one that TRD has built to date. TRD spent quite a bit of time analyzing the Vipers from this past season and they feel that the Viper was pushing the rules to the extreme. We even went to the board about the cars and wanted them torn down, but
@Herimopp89 and
@Jw_wk1010 were on the board and winked at each other and made the decision that there was no "Foul" play with the settings and legality of the car. (chuckling) Why do you think they got rid of those cars for this coming season, they jumped ship as quickly as they could to avoid any issues and penalties this next season, they
knew something was up. Our cars are 100% legal and built by the book, thats how TOYOTA does it. I wouldnt be surprised if the Lexus cars gain a ton of speed this season, i mean, they were junk this past year, i felt really bad for that team. They reached out to TRD for some advice on the cars, i mean after all they are a TOYOTA brand."
(reporter) "Why Short Bus Window Lickers?"
(Neuttyy) "Ha, its just something funny and different. When i think about the name, i can picture a bunch of kids licking the windows on the bus, we arnt trying to be disrespectful, just different, and when you think short bus, you think about the mentally disabled and they are just like you and i, but different."
(reporter) "Do you have anything you would like to add?"
(Neuttyy) "We are coming FullTilt this year, and we plan to be very competitive, maybe even win a few races, but we are here for the Championship this season. I plan to let
@Herimopp89 and
@Jw_wk1010 bang it out while they watch us run into the sunset. There is a lot of talent in this series, and with the new comers jumping in, the only advice i can give is, STICK IT OUT, you may feel like you are slow, or in the way. Just run your race and dont give up, its the only way to learn."
(reporter) "Well, Short Bus Window Lickers is out to take it all this year, and it seems like they have something to prove. I'm Erin Andrews, we will see you next week on, Inside ARL!"
