So, I don't know which one disappoints me more.   A track not paying a points fund check because they chose not to attend a banquet, or a president of a sanctioning body getting on the internet and getting into a pissing match with his fans.   Calling people ignorant over this is pretty sad.   Since I don't live near either one of this groups, it does not impact me, but if I did I would boycott two groups.

Yeah, what JonR just said....BIG TIME!!!

 
I LEARNED ESP FROM MY MOM

"PUT YOUR SWEATER ON: DON'T YOU THINK I KNOW WHEN 
YOU'RE COLD?"

I think everyone should boycot everything until there is nothing left to boycot and then everyone can whine about not having anything left to boycot.  I'm going to boycot people who boycot stuff. 

Former Owner/President of FAST and Black Swamp Media
Group. Currently just another fan in the stands.

Anyone donate yet?

And your the President of the Fast Series?

I don't normally get in the middle of these things but since I know the story here it is.. We did tell limaland that we where racing and that we would not be at the banquet.. I undersrand everyone has rules but its not like we where sitting at home.. So after some talks and sit downs with the attorney we decided to ask limaland to donate our winnings to make a wish charity under our names and it was a no.. The situation with Lima is they would rather lose drivers then to work things out.. Every one has their own decisions to make.Money or no money we felt it was worth it to race the Trophy Cup!! Let me tell you I don't regret it one bit.. Keep my money u greedy bastards because I didnt buy this car to sit in my shop. I'm going racing and that's the fact jack!!!

good for you and glad randy raced the trophy cup the fans were happy to see him and for limeland you suck you could atleast give the money to make a wish like they said its for kids

Well I'm done going to Limaland.. Even though I live less than an hour away.. I haven't gone there in 2 years but I'm done now..

  Sure miss Randy and that Black 1x, hell for that matter the NARC too. Hope both drivers are paid. Besides, If the fans know hes at T-Cup. Dose this mean Sugar Land misses out on his fans banquit $$$. Or, . . ?

Swampy ?. . . .

Peace, Out.

You must be affilated with Limaland. Though it's none of your business, I make my donations to charity through the Combined Federal Campaign where I work. Hard to defend Limaland when both Randy and Shawn notified them months in advance they were racing the TC. Right is right. These two teams put three quality cars in the Limaland pits each Friday night, and these guys deserve their point fund. Gas City, here I come!

Does anybody know if Andy Forsburg ended up getting his money from the Outlaws?

Limaland why did you think you needed to pick this fight?  I live 10 miles away and have enjoyed the racing at Limaland, and I've been everywhere from Knoxville to NC to watch sprint cars.  My gut tells me you think you are special, you are the boss, you set the rules (no exceptions).  I'm sure Limaland will move on, but you have pi**ed off alot of race fans who truely support the racers and car owners that keep us coming week in and week out.  If I'm missing something please let me know.

did I just read a brain fart from people b!tching about "money not being paid" and then ask for a free lunch at a banquet?

...welcome to welfare racing folks!

I say it every week at the track...no matter how much a car sucks on the track, it takes way too much money and time for teams to do this...and I am very glad I can still afford a friggin ticket.

I never attended a race banquet...perhaps the rahmer retirement speech at this year's grove deal will finally change that.

and as Faster than U said above...nothing is stopping any money grubbing whiners from sending Hannagan or anyone else a donation...and a "thanks for comin out".

I think you missed the point.

I know...I glossed over the " XXX (fill in name here) doesn't have to follow rules" part...

If it were Rahmer who was missing out on points money because he was racing somewhere else, you'd be having a fit.  SMH.

For what it's worth, Skagit Speedway also had their Awards Banquet the Saturday night of Trophy Cup. I believe there were 3 drivers in the top 10 in 410 points and 1 in top 10 in 360 points that forfeited their winnings to race Trophy Cup. 

I just can't see why they wouldn't wait until November or January to hold the banquet. This promoter knew what he was doing. 

At $2k for making the A main, I'm sure a good percentage of racers were making the gamble they could make the show. But I still think it's wrong not to pay them what they earned. 

Yes, and most of them could have used that small point fund money to get tires, etc to race at the same track next year that won't pay them for their services this year..so really doesn't make much sense to not pay the people putting on the show. Whatever. 

Now this is the best post of this whole thread lmao

"I'm done going to Limaland" but u haven't been there in 2 years anyway?? Classic,what's the point in boycotting if u don't go there anyway? Lmao

Attempted the last 2 years for the speedweek show, but weather. & family has made me miss.. & I can't seeing paying almost $40 gif the BDC for one class of cars.. But that is just me..
