Text from the email: So if you look closely on the 36B you'll see Banker on the back sail panel and if you notice my email is [redacted], my names [redacted] Banker and I obviously like the number 36. The 377 car in the one pic is my Dad. You don't have to post all that but you can obviously see I'm not this Barnes fella. If you go type in [redacted] IMCA modified on google old results will pop up. I quit in 2018 cause of my hearing. Only raced the 136, 3 times before I sold it to my Dad.

My judgement: If you're going to claim glory, you could aim a lot (LOT!) higher than amateur modifieds racing. I know several others who do this, and it's not real glorified. My vote's "Not Barnes".


(NOTE: Edited to remove identifying info that was mistakenly left in. I don't wanna dox the guy)

sounds legit in my book

This same idiot accused me of being Barnes on the auto board thread because I linked an old thread of someone else calling out MBUSA for being Barnes almost two years ago. Not surprised to see him mistaking other people for Barnes, as well. He seems to see Barnes everywhere he looks.

Nothing against TH36, but those pictures, email addresses, and story really don't confirm s*** for me, and are definitely up Barnes alley. I mean the guy has fabricated so much worse.

He might be trying out a new strategy when one username gets outed to quickly use it as an opportunity to plant another one, rather than waiting for things to cool down before resurfacing. Barnes probably has a long list of usernames and backstories lined up and ready to catfish.

Barnes has really done a number on the TexAgs dynamic. Going forward I foresee that all new users with handles that have some variation of M and B, and who don't have an Ag tag, will have to withstand a high level of scrutiny and undergo a thorough doxing just to prove they aren't Barnes.

Next tag they'll offer is a verified "Not Barnes" tag.

But why? Honestly, if this other guy is Barnes, WGAF at this point? He started a topic about loss of hearing, sure may have had what some consider a humble brag in there about why he lost it. But no harm in that post, actually seemed to have some good conversation from what I remember. Again, if that was Barnes, what has he posted that is so damn terrible to doubt or vilify him?

The reason Barnes get's ousted and is so damn annoying is he tries to post as if he's in the top 1% of the 1%. And he's really dumb about it.

Maybe we'll never know the real Barnes

Well, in that reply above TH36 says he was born in 1988 which makes him 31. Before the edits of the photos provided, I found results from the name associated with that car and some races. The results were from 2014 and adding 5 years would make the kid with that name and car around 22 today.

No. I get it. But because Barnes sucks we're going to be dicks to every single rookie poster? Again, what did TH36 post to think he was Barnes or taking advantage of anyone?

Barnes is an idiot. Hell out himself eventually. We don't need to dig into every detail do every post by every new member. I mean doesn't take a rocket surgeon to be skeptical of a texags poster having that many cars of that value or the safe he previously posted.

Because your "Barnes spotting" was YOUR FIRST POST EVER.

Come on man, all these rookie accts like yours showing up to post on Barnes threads the DAY HE IS OUTED.

No, it's not like that. Rookies that show up on Barnes threads the day he is outed, saying things like "I don't know who this Barnes guy is but......" is very in line with his m.o.

I haven't read this thread. A glance from the outside showed it wasn't worth opening. With that said, I can confirm TH36 is NOT MFBARNES. Ive been on another hunting forum with him for a decade or more. He's 100% honest.

CS78, yet another Barnes sock.



KIDDING!!

Any thread on the OB that is:

• Less than 2 weeks old
• Has over 100 replies

Has potential and is a must-read, because somewhere it's gone off the rails.

Any thread on the OB that:

• Is a couple days old
• Has over 200 replies

Has the potential for 209 million internet points kind of must-read.

Sorry, I can't resist a good old fashioned Barnes unmasking, and for some reason I couldn't post with my old account and had to make a new one.

Ya, duh, staff confirmed they banned MBUSA.

He emailed me again. Because he's a rookie, I'll post for him:

This is just getting out of hand and becoming crazy. You can post all of this and sorry I'm having to use you as a go between, I'm done with this ridiculousness after this reply.

Here is a video of me in 2016 at Cotton Bowl Speedway in Paige, Texas. I raced against Ken Schrader (the NASCAR driver that night) I started on the 2nd row and finished 5th.

I'm 31 now and started racing that car in that video when I was around 23-24. It was a 2004 Qwik Chassis. Nothing super expensive about it or anything flashy, actually a pile of **** compared to some of the stuff I was racing against. I'm not on there bragging about being some rich guy with a McLaren or anything along those lines so I don't see what this guys problem is?

The 136 Modified you see is a 2012 BMS Chassis that I bought trying to step up my racing program, I bought it when I was 29 and raced 3 times (once at I-37 and twice at Cotton Bowl Speedway) then sold it to my Dad who is still racing that car today under the number 377. The same number that's on his other car the one in the pic with me.

This is seriously ridiculous. I'm a ******* plumbing foreman for a mechanical contractor in Austin. I'm not a Ag, I'm an Aggie fan. Been a diehard fan for years. My Grandad graduated from A&M in 56 I believe. He died before I got to know him and I feel like my Aggie fandom comes from being his grandson.

This is me in this pic.
