Title: BAKO AMERICAN STOCKS REMOVED AGAIN !!
Post by CrazyJay_51 on 08/22/06 at 6:47pm

Why are the Amercan Stocks being removed again from the schedule!!!

     1. Lost two races due to the rain, which were never  made up.

      2. American Stock Nationals, still waiting for the new date.

       3. 9/02/2006 race has been taken off the schedule for what reason.

          Ken Schrader??????????????????

SOUNDS LIKE AMERICAN STOCKS ARE GETTING THE SHAFT THIS YEAR. WHAT DOES EVERYONE ELSE THINK?

well this doesn't seem very fair to the american stock drivers they should have the same chance to race too!!!!  i can't believe they will take up that much time on that night that they couldn't race also.!!!!

YEAH THIS IS A BUNCH OF CRAP. IF THIS IS HOW THE SCHEDULE IS GONNA BE THEN I WILL BE RACING HOBBY STOCK THIS SATERDAY IN BAKO IF IM AVAILABLE. IM NOT SURE WITH WORK AND ALL BUT IM GONNA TRY. IM GETTING REALLY TIRED OF BAKO SCREWING US OVER BECAUSE THEY THINK OUR DIVISION DOESNT MATTER OR SOMETHING. I MISSED A RACE AND WAS TRYING TO MAKE UP POINTS AND ALL THEY HAVE DONE IS TAKE AWAY RACES SO IT MAKES IT HARDER FOR ME. OH WELL MAYBE SMS WOULD BE BETTER TO ME.

Post by bakoracer8 on 08/23/06 at 6:37am

Guys we are expecting alot of Late Models like 60 to 80 for that event. If it was a 2 day show there would be no problem but seing as there is going to be D,C,B and non-qualifiers mains there is just no time. Sorry.

Title: Re: BAKO AMERICAN STOCKS REMOVED AGAIN !!
Post by JOHNSON MOTORSPORTS 1 on 08/23/06 at 7:46am

u know what thats crap. dont talk about expecting a lot of cars cuz to me that doesnt mean sh*t. i think you need to start showing more respect for the local small shows as well. that is 3 races that we have lost this year. seems to me the track has no intentions of making them up like they should. im sorry but im really not happy with the track right now. they dont remove the mini stocks but they remove us. its a lot of crap.its alright though cuz i can always go to a different track such as SMS. anyone interested in going to SMS on the 3rd of september let me know so i can get in contact with you so we can all go over together and have a good time and get all of our racing for the year.

Title: Re: BAKO AMERICAN STOCKS REMOVED AGAIN !!
Post by JOHNSON MOTORSPORTS 1 on 08/23/06 at 1:54pm

scott we wouldnt send u hate mail if u would quit screwing us around. some of us work weekends and have switched with guys for events and have stuff planned. now with 3 point races to go u change it and all it does is hurt us all. now we will have 3 races in a row for the last 3 point races and we will have 4 in a row if u put our nationals back to the 29-30 of sept where they shouldnt have ever been taken off of. just my opinion but i dont think it is right for u to move stuff this late in the year. its bad enough dealing with the late models having qualifying,heats,dash,b-mains,non-qualifiers,and a-mains. americans are part of your weekly show here calling bakersfield there home track and racing for points there and going to treat us like crap. if you dont start thinking about the little guys racing without all the big money and fancy cars u wont have a weekly show. thats part of the reason the car count has been down. we havent had 1 trophy dash all year long. which i think we should have them every week there a great thing but i guess then again its just my opinion

Title: Re: BAKO AMERICAN STOCKS REMOVED AGAIN !!
Post by RacingBabes06 on 08/23/06 at 2:07pm

You would never catch them taking Hobby Stock or any other class off the schedule. They just think they can take advantage of poor American Stock when American Stock is the only class to go out there for!

Post by bakoracer8 on 08/23/06 at 4:14pm

Just for the record American Stocks are my favorite division. American stocks are where Ivan and myself came from. So don't think that we are screwing you guys over adjustments have to be made. This schedule was made in Nov or Dec. of 05' last time I checked Scott could not predict the future. If anyone goes to SMS hope you have a good race and hand them their a$$e$.

Title: Re: BAKO AMERICAN STOCKS REMOVED AGAIN !!
Post by Late_Model_Mark on 08/23/06 at 4:30pm

I will chime in on this. I know the American Stock drivers are bent out of shape on this. I will say that if a track loses money you have no track, correct? This race with schraeder will be expensive for the track to have yet is has the potential of being a real moneymaker. A nextel cup show at our track is exciting. With a fairly fat car count this show needs to be properly run for it to be succesful. There will be many new folks in the house that will either spread the good word after this show or poo-poo the track. This is a chance to impress some people. If you have a long show that hit's the state mandated curfew and all the racing is not finished folks will be bent! This dropping of one class this race I think is a sacrifice for the overall good of the weekend.
Bakersfield Speedway in my view has done way more right than wrong in 06. We have it good here. Remember the troubles of Hanford and SMS before showing to much displeasure.  I know if I raced in the class i would be bent to but also we need a track that can make deposits in the bank more than withdrawels.

This is senior, not junior.  I want to know why the mini's have had 2 nationals, 2 years in a row.  I've been in American stock 2 1/2 years and I haven't seen a national for American stock yet.  Yes, we can enter the twin 50 hobbies, but I don't think I can compete with them.  I think we should have our own race with our own wheel base and set up.  And that's all I've got to say about that.  #4as

well im racing in chowchilla on the 4th so it would be a lot of work to change intakes and carbs and stuff. i dont see y ur being like that about it anyways because we run 500 CFM no touch carbs which just happen to have the name holley on them and you guys run up to 850 CFM 4 barrels so u have nothing to cry about. if we beat u it would be from driving skill not being way faster than any of you. so i hope u will just let us come over the way our cars are now. thanks

Post by fromthegrandstands on 08/23/06 at 10:16pm

JR Waters...

If you want a "NATIONALS" you need to find somebody in your racing group that is willing to do the leg work to get one organized.

Don't wait for the track to do it...Find SPONSORSHIP and create the other details...propose that to what ever track you would like the race to be held...(Shoot for NEXT season so you'd have plenty of PLAN and ORGANIZATION and Notification time...)

Don't WAIT for it to HAPPEN..MAKE IT HAPPEN~

Post by CrazyJay_51 on 08/23/06 at 11:29pm

why shoot for one next year when we were already schedule for one this year on 9/29 - 9/30, and now all were waiting for is scott to give us are date if that ever happens

Title: Re: BAKO AMERICAN STOCKS REMOVED AGAIN !!
Post by TALON75 on 08/23/06 at 11:30pm

just an idea for scott , you might want to start thinking about starting earlier as we have done in sm . at first we all griped that it would kill the track , or we would be running dryslick all the time(which most sms guys are not real crazy about), but now they have a pretty good handle on the prep and we are all happy when we can start drinking beer at 9:30 or so !!!LOL. it really has turned out well and the fans are really happy with it too .JMO

Title: Re: BAKO AMERICAN STOCKS REMOVED AGAIN !!
Post by fromthegrandstands on 08/23/06 at 11:37pm

I'm confused...NOT THAT IT MATTERS,

But if there is NO National for American Stock...yet there is one scheduled for the 29-30, I guess NOBODY knows about it or something...

On that subject...Why/ or What would make this race a "NATIONAL"?

Sounds like it would be more of a "LOCAL", Maybe a REGIONAL...at best a "STATES", unless you expect to draw racers from across the NATION (Hence the term NATIONAL)

Talon, Bakersfield has been starting at 6:00 this year too. The LM race that I went to at Santa Maria this year I was on my way back to Bakersfield by 9:25. Bakersfield has been getting done around 10:30 with the Lms. I would rather start early than have races cut short.

you know it may not matter to you that the american stocks nationals were taken off but im pretty sure if you ask the drivers and the fans how they feel your not going to like what they have to say.  and why would it even matter to you if they were put on the schedule to run a national you know they deserve it just as much as anyone else on that track.

Title: Re: BAKO AMERICAN STOCKS REMOVED AGAIN !!
Post by fromthegrandstands on 08/24/06 at 5:10pm

You know guys...I don't know, nor really care.  I've never seen the AMERICAN STOCKS in action.  They might put on a great show. (I'm sure I'd enjoy them better than ANY sprint car race)  I love watching the factorystocks at SMS when they aren't trying to simulate a demolition derby.

I responded to JR waters comment below:

All I can say is if you want it BAD ENOUGH...YOU need to MAKE it happen.  Make the TRACK believe in it, or MOVE it to a TRACK that will.


Quote:

I wouldn't know if they were running or not. In general, I don't buy my ticket to the races for the 4 banger, or Street class.  

That being said,  I much prefer a DLM, SS, FS, 4b night to ALL the rest.  I don't mind substituting the IMCA Mods for the FS either.

Post by fromthegrandstands on 08/24/06 at 6:31pm

speedracer...

No LOVE, No HATE...no real opinion on the class...and never made any impressions of having one...

My comments (Other than my sarcastic comment to Billy's message) is, if you AMERICAN STOCK racers want a socalled "NATIONAL"  Create one.

Once you come up with your ideas, needs, etc. work on putting the event on the schedule SOMEPLACE, promote it EVERYWHERE you can..and MAKE IT HAPPEN.

No negativity towards a class that (Like MOST grassroots classes) the racers involved in...LOVE.

Some guys sit and WISH a race would happen...Others do something to MAKE it happen.  The more that are willing to work to MAKE it happen, the louder your voice will be, the better chance you have of getting what you want...

PERIOD, I don't care if it's a race, a rule, a price, or a payout...

Same note, I've heard in the past a few classes that were not happy with a payout at an event.  If say this class (what ever you called it) only pays 300 to win...get together with ALL the racers in that class, and get ALL of them to kick another 10, 20, 30 bucks into a seperate pot(everbody needs to put in the same amount) and you've basically got a SIDE pot (like a side bet)

If a certain racer doesn't want to take part in that "side pot" he wouldn't have to contribute..nor would he benefit from it.  There are WAYS to make things happen.

Just a thought here, would ya'll consider that the WESTERN DIRT TRACK NATIONALS at Bak is 'YOUR' big event of the year? I like the A- stocks, the race on Aug 12 was a barnburner to me. Remember that in pure car count and intensity the "WESTERN DIRT TRACK NATIONALS" IS THE *$%# !! Think about it !!

i think everyone has lost sight of the subject american stocks deserve just as much track time as everyone else you dont see them screwing around with lm, imca, ss, or hobby stocks schedule it's a disapointment to the drivers, their familys who support them 100%, and the fans who love to watch them race. the american stocks deserve to have their nationals put back on the schedule no classs deserve to be put on and taken off every other weekend. i see where your coming from sept. 02 is going to be a great night to watch but why keep the mini's on every class deserve's the same respect even the smaller classes their are some american stock drivers that can flat out race and put on a show and have just as much fans as everyone else

To: From The Grandstands.  This National race has been on our schedule all year long.  This was something all of us in American Stocks have been looking forward to.  At the end of season, they changed it on us.  If we would have known that it would have been changed,  we would have started a lot earlier to try to get our own National race.  Maybe you should pay more attention to our schedule.  #4 AS

Post by FASTUNDERCAR on 08/25/06 at 8:04am

Just my opinion, but this seems to have ignited a fire in some and my suggestion would be to be creative instead of combative.

Follow the example of the E/W and Sandie Simkins and the W.A.S. and  most recently Rick Childress and affect a change in your division with solidarity and cooperation.

WE all can perpetuate a problem by coming here and BITCHEN about it OR WE CAN COME HERE AND TRY TO BE A PART OF THE SOLUTION TO THAT PROBLEM.

Some fine examples have come forward for ALL to see in the last couple of years with Mr. Childress's project just getting off the ground ,  it appears another success story will emerge with ALL OF THE HOBBY STOCK DIVISIONS COOPERATION.

COOPERATION  =  SUCCESS

fragmentation  =  failure..............GUARANTEED.......look at the recent past for examples.
