Mine are:

When you want to know whos driving a car and everytime the announcer referes to it as:

its the DNL Chassis, Jones Brothers steering, black Jack in and out box, Muledeer injection, up and down shocks, ding a ling headers, Persimmon brothers #8 then some stupid nickname and still dont say whos driving the car.

Announcers screaming Fast Time on every other car.

Bad Bathrooms. Its not 1932 any more.

Support classes.

I remember before race tracks sold beer, it was amazing how effiecent the shows were.

Too many classes of junker cars,4 cylinders etc on 3/8 1/2 mile tracks..You can run six cars on a 1/4 mile and be interesting but not on the larger tracks..Also half hour for concession break where you wait half hour to get served only to find out they are out of what you want..

Haha my Lord you are pathetic. First of all you didn't call me out on any bullshit because you didn't say anything to support your claim that your cigarettes are healthier than anything else at the track. It's just a matter of your opinion and others said to support my statement that they can't stand smokers as well.

Secondly the stupid bitch or female or homosexual jokes do not work as anyone who has actually played sports growing up has heard them. Just because someone tells you to stop smoking with their kids around does not mean they are crying, it is because they don't want to subject their child to the nasty crap that you are purtput into your body.

And it's nice that your pet peeves consist of racetracks go back in time of the 60s through 80s because you can't stand the world moving forward. Sadly though most of your pet peeves are avoidable as others have pointed out. Your just trying to be a macho tough guy when in reality you are being the biggest whinny bitch of them all. And when you insult someone it work best to know something about them so your stupid homophobic assumptions mean nothing considering I have a wife, who is female, and she doesn't have to stay in the kitchen she can do as she pleases. Bye bye Igor the caveman



So they knew you were  fruity when you tried to play sports thats so  funny i didnt want to but i have to respond to that . i played football and baseball  more years then you were alive   and not once did anyone call me a fag .Whats that tell you ? Seems its pretty clear.No way we will ever resolve this typing on here and you wont do anything else  except cry and type from the safety of your barbie dream house.it's kinda pointless . holy fk just shutup ,raise your sissy kids my grandchildren could prolly use the extra lunch money. Later queerbate!!!

You just might be the one getting your ass kicked, Mr. Keyboard Tough Guy

Sprint car racing is supposed to be fun

Go crawl back in your hole

Pet peeves: too many classes, takes too long to run the show.  Drunks, drunks and stupid drunks.  People who witness a awesome night of racing and still find something to bitch about

I know, thanks. His last post basically proved the type of human being he is. When a person cannot come up with any factual information to support their claim, and has to result to name calling when they actually do not know anything about the person they are trying to insult, it shows how uneducated they are. If he actually knew me he probably would know that all the crap he was saying actually gave me a good chuckle more so than offending me. I learned a long time ago to be thick skinned so the whole homosexual, mommy, and generational jokes really do not hurt my or anyone's feelings. All it does is show how much of a small minded indivdual he is.

People who want to see crashes.  People work way too hard to have a race car, only for others to hope to see it ruined and the driver possibly hurt or killed.

When people put Blankets or chairs down at the ticket booth and walk away to save their spot two hours before it opens.  If you don’t have the dedication to stay with your stuff it should get kicked to the side

Fantastic.  You should buy a track and put that rule in place.  In the mean time, when you visit a track that allows this, you should leave your hands off other people's shit.

Drunks and morons who know nothing about sprint cars but think they are experts. Like the guy sitting behind me one night that told his son that Rico STANDS UP in his car to drive it, rather than sit like other drivers.



This is funny as heck!!! I hope the son being told is smart enough to believe his dad lol

Can I add post-race write-ups that obviously try to make a race sound a lot better than it was. "Even though every race was won from the front row, the feature winner, who was also the fast timer, first heat race winner and dash winner, did have to deal with some lapped traffic."



sounds like a world of outlaws-type night with their new format they started last year

Gotcha.  I don't even do the blanket thing to reserve general admission seats.  But, this is a touchy subject for me.

I put a blanket down on my RESERVED seats now.  I buy reserved seats because I don't want to sit in the stands for 2 hours before an engine fires.  I pay the extra money.  I had a run of literally 5 or 6 races in a row where I showed up to my RESERVED seats and someone is sitting in them.  Then, when you try to get them to leave the seats you purchased, you're the asshole.  I believe I would lose my mind if someone moved my stuff from my reserved seat.  I was absolutely shocked when I got to Beaver Dam this year and no one was sitting in my seats.  I even bet the guy with me $20 there would be someone in my seats and they would be pissed when I told them they had to move.  Never been so happy to lose $20.

 

Now that I think of it, that is my pet peeve at the track.  Someone sitting in my seats when I walk into the stands.  It does not happen now that I walk in the track early, strap down a blanket over my paid seats, and head back to the camper for some cold beer, shade, and grilled meat.  If I don't, I have to deal with someone who can't read a ticket.

People who can see the whole track just fine sitting down but stand up anytime 2 cars get side by side. Also those who stand for the parade lap then don't sit back down till lap 5 or 6.

Had a reserved seat at Knoxville for several years. They even put my name on it. I would still find people sitting in it when I went into the stands. Some got mad when I said they were in my seat, asked me if I owned it. I would say "well, my name is on it". Then they would move.

Tracks that don't give you a single second to pull your ear plugs out. When the cars stop, the commercials and music start. They must think dirt track fans are too stupid to quietly converse amongst ourselves. 



This applies everywhere not just at the race track. I quit going to NHL games because the second play stops the music blares full blast. And the choice of music is always awful. Having a Dirtvision subscribtion I have the mute on until the green flag waves because I'm tired of Johnny's music and his reading of sponsor's. I do like his play by play.

The fans that don't take their hat off or standup during the national anthem.

Flagman that don't call off a start due to a driver jumping the start or getting way out of line.

Dirty slide jobs expecting the other driver to get on the brakes in order to avoid a crash.
