I aint no CRY BABY like you,no wonder you cant win a race,you are to busy being a BLOB champ instead of learning how to make your car faster



Dont know this Jerry guy, but I can see what kind of retarded friends he has.....

 

if he was such a great guy, he would refund their money you idiot. IF it is out of his control, then he should take the shirt off his back... and the reason Lasoski isnt complaining is because they either paid him to show up or he cant afford a computer,, I have no idea which of those two would be the exact case,,,but I am sure it would be one of them.

Another Blog cry baby,,, the rest of use have excepted the fact that the race is in 13 weeks now. You can go back with a half price weekend or pay new entry fees and travel cost and go somewhere else. Are you another one of them OK boys that cant agree on anything . He did what every other track has done this year. Made all the passes and entry good for future races. And if everybody goes back nobody is out anything. Everybody will be out Rain out cost INCLUDING THE PROMOTER. that has become a normal part of racing. WE ALL AGREE TO DISAGREE .So if you aint there the rest of use will have fun.....THTS IS A DEAD HORSE,,,BUT YOU WERNT THERE ETHER WERE YOU.


Win as if you are use to it.And lose as if you enjoyed 
it for a change.Its hard to get to the top and alot 
harder to stay there.

I know this subject needs to die but for the record, I'm still mad because we got screwed over. Redbandana - opinions are varied and we move on, right?

Check this hosebag out - he won't come over and say this on this board or Sprint Car Forum because he'll get trashed out. Do you hear all the kissing sounds in the background as he typed it? Ha! He also has a personal vendetta with me - can you tell? Smile

After listening to the Racinboys tape it seems a small handfull of people have got it were one of our open wheel specials for this area might easily be lost if we aren't careful. Smooth move "exlax." I also see that that this thing is blowing over on the other message boards and quite frankly, the b*tchers are getting what they deserve now. As I figured it would.....the tide has turned. The orginal basher are now getting bashed. What goes around....comes around. I read where one of the original bashers was offered their money back and they still stayed on "attack mode." Go figure. Was this about money, attitude or simple ATTENTION? It sure as H*LL wasn't for the good or openwheel racing. I think most of us knew that this would work out in the long run and didn't over react immediately like some did.

Whether I agree with how this was handled or not is irrelavant. Springfield raceway is moving forward and doing what they said they would.......rescheduling. What else can we ask for? And on top of that......Giving everyone multiple opportunites to recoup their money next year.

I was there. I plan on going back in March, weather permitting. And I plan on going again next November if they invite the open wheel guys back, weather permitting. I just hope the trouble makers stay home on both counts and don't screw it up for the rest of the area dedicated openwheel racers.

Nothing personal,,i am a fan of your team and have alot of friends in your back yard,,you come from an area that has some great racing history,,nice to see you are keeping that area going in the record books. That would be S.E KS

Glad to know you are coming back in March and will be cheering for your team.. There are so many tracks not racing now,,,look at the Tulsa Speedawy great location north of town but no racing. Another in Joplin .Topeka Heartland Park on and off accros the last few years.

It is hard for track owners to stay afloat these days.It seems like we all have to travel to race now,,,unless we can get a special for the open wheels at local track near use. That would only be once or twice a year at most tracks.. The rain is the reason Springfieild didnt run.. Its bad enough that pit passes have gotten so high ,,that tells use that the crowds are droping and cost of running a track is higher , and they have to raise prices on the pits to aford to pay use anything to make it worth it to run..If the local tracks all fold it would mean longer travel for every race.

Alot of car owners have changed the class they race because that is what is in there area. The Sringfield track is trying to bring a special race there to help everyone ,,,the fans the open wheel guys. That area will support a Open Wheels race on a one or to race a year deal.. NOT MANY OTHER PROMOTERS ARE TRYING TO DO THIS OR ARE CAPABLE OF DONIG THIS. After seeing the tracks and promoters i have in the last 45 years i believe they will do a real good job if Mother Nature works with use all .

Isnt this a great forum we can give our opinion and not have to call each other names..Agree to Disagree

Now this has somewhat wound down ,maybe a compromise.The promoter agrees to honor all pit passes at the rescheduled date ,and any surplus [due to people not able to return to rescheduled date]will be rolled over to the pay-out[purse].....I'd hate to see everyone upset all winter.....Merry Christmas

After you get done typing look up at the top of the box and you will see a "abc" with a check mark underneath click on that then wait a minute and a pop up box will come up that will spell check your words, it helps.

Normally in my travels I have seen the "no refund" signs at tracks but when the promoters are asked by the drivers and fans for their refund, and it is a special event with out of town drivers and fans, it was always granted. This was, of course, if it rained out before all heat races were complete. If not giving refunds was the norm, this hoseheads message board and other boards (whowon.com, others) would be lit up constantly with upset people.

However, such is not the norm and that is why there is such a fuss over what happened. I have been on Hoseheads message board since it was developed and I have never seen this circumstance and so many upset people. And trust me when I say it is not limited to the sprint car people that are upset.

I do, however, don't believe it was handled correctly to start off with as the promoters should have been called politely or looked for at the track politely and try to be solved that way instead of how it is handled now.

Instead we have the hottest topic with more views then any other in the history of Hoseheads (I believe) and I truely feel bad for all that are invovled. All of this is not good......



 

 

"the hottest topic with more views then any other in the history of Hoseheads (I believe)"

I think this topic has it beat. http://www.hoseheadforums.com/forum~ThreadID~705.htm

448 Replies and 48,650 views.

And it has much better content than this topic does.
