The efforts of the track crew is much appreciated (I'm sure even from those who criticise)

It IS a thankless job, done by people who usually have a love for RACING.  It's never fun being the "bad guy, or girl" making an un popular call.

The speed of the program this year is like LIGHTNING, even with some delays, nobody can complain about getting home late.

Once this program gets routine, I'd really love to see the return of DRIVER INTRODUCTIONS for the Main Events, with the cars angle parked on the front straight...  Even if it's only ONE main event (A different one each week)  So the fans can SEE their favorite driver...

The only thing the track seems to be lacking this year is the INTERACTION of the past...  No "T" Shirt or Frisbee's being tossed...no special Fan/Racer interaction, and with most of the cars choosing to pit outside the 3/4 turn.  We don't even get to see what's up in the pits. It just takes away some of the "good stuff"

paying 40 dollar's in the back gate . plus working on it by my self to only get wrecked leading on the last lap then fix it cut the frame out of it to do so go back the following week leding again to get taken out again 2 week's in a row. as for the yellow on the opening lap ya ok i see that . but still the 17 caused the hole thing called ruff driving . just be glad that 66 car had a good cage i no because i built that cage . it like this i was watching the 1 night from the stand's and ben in the truck was fast going to the front . but he hit about everyone doing sooooo i never seen a black flag as for supporting the track i've been going there sent's i was 14 that make's it about 26 year's i've been going there to help or watch or race . you want to talk about supporting the track the biggest misstake was getting ride of the world of outlaw's sprint car's and the endero's. back to helping i've helped on late model's & street stock's . mini stock's . & sprint car's

It is clear that you have deep feelings of disappointment and resentment toward other drivers, track personnel and event scheduling.  

The World of Outlaws used to come to SMS only as a favor to Doug Fort; they had an agreement that ended when Doug passed on. Their financial requirements have steadily increased, putting them out of reach for SMS. It seems nothing can be done about that. Management is always interested in suggestions; please contact them about bringing back enduros, etc.

You are obviously proud of your accomplishments in working on cars that race at SMS. I am sure the owners/drivers are very grateful; why not have one of them pay your $40 to get in? Perhaps all the people you have so generously assisted would like to return the favor?

Racing at SMS involves risk of damage to the vehicle. It is an "assumption of risk" activity which inevitably requires work from week to week. Some weeks are worse than others.

Having 26 years of experience in racing certainly might be valuable to younger, less experienced drivers. Perhaps you can offer your wisdom and advice to MS #17 and see if things progress more positively on the race track? Complaining about him doesn't appear to accomplish anything...why not invest your time in a positive approach.

Rough driving calls are made collaboratively and not just by a single official. Let me again invite you to ask these kinds of questions at the pit meeting held before each race.

This seems to be beating a dead horse.  These are issues that have been covered multiple times.  Greg, why not talk to an official on race day where you can get the answers you are looking for?

Continuing your posts on this message board is going nowhere.Your disappointments will not be properly addressed until you present them in person.  

See you on race day!


 

did anyone see the punt that the 44 truck did to my car................ya the racers did. gonna look for a brake pedel in his truck this weekend.

Maybe the 44 truck ought to install a brake light so you could SEE how much he IS on the brakes!!

Several times during THAT race all 4 wheels were LOCKED UP in an attempt to PREVENT contact.

we all no that by now . i like to no is how the 00 car in the heat race get away with look like to me jumping the green. he was up beside inside row 3 car before the green came out it shear looked like that and people in the infield seen as well and driver's in the same heat race

Excellent clarification!

Those who KNOW the rules are more likely to avoid problems.

sexygurl, with the santa ana's blowin threw there was no way that they could have kept the track wet , the water dries to quickly and doesn't soak in to the surface .  last night really wasn't bad compared to most bako shows when you can't even see the bumper in front of you , but they always make the mistake of watering it during the night instead of letting dust off and rubber up earlier , but that is just my opinion !!
