probably a complaint but oh well

This may end up zapped to but I want my feelings to be known.

I believe the readers of this board have been robbed of speedweeks information this year. Most of us cannot make it to the track every night and rely on the board for the race reports. We work during the daytime so we cannot spend alot of time surfing around the web for this much desired info.
We all know Jane got canned as the writer for Fascar, no fault of her own but its been a rough year for them. A month or so later Andy started posting on the board and got every ones attention including Fascar. He was then hired which I am sure didn't set too well with Jane. I cannot blame her, she lost a much needed job that she loved.

Well I have a news flash for you, ITS NOT ANDYS FAULT. ITS NOT OUR FAULT. I think Andy is owed an apology and an invitation. He gives up his nights to write for us and give us the rundown. I don't see how its fair for political bullshit to get into the way.

Andy had been totally disheartened by this and is rapidly losing interest. Writers like Andy are the reason we have the Jim Fentons and Jerry Binners of the world come on the board. The board would not be the same with out their experiences at the tracks all through time and their willingness to tell us about them.

Jane, I feel for you, I really do and I am not being insensitive but I don't come on here to read about your hardships. I am truly sorry if this is offensive to you but YOU OR WHOEVER (I dont care) are doing the board a huge disservice by playing this game. Its never been a problem before, why start now?




probably a complaint but oh well

Nothing is wrong with putting them there, a few of us liked reading them here, less searching to do. Whats wrong with leaving it the way it has been for the last 7 years? I was actually complaining about the race recaps not being allowed to be posted here by "media" people.

If you simply scroll down on "THIS" Message Board you will see a category called Florida Racing News if you simply click on this it will take you to the front page. It's pretty easy, try it.

I understand that but we liked responding to the reports, asking questions and make any clarifications. Don't think for a minute this only includes Nss and Osw because I would enjoy the board more if all of Florida's tracks were involved.

I have to agree that the immediate ability to reply to and comment on the post is good entertainment for the folks on here. Especially when we can screw with people in the process.

You were right on track and you ruined it.

HEY!

I resemble that remark.


But like Jerry "Tried" to explain..... a business owner should take care of his/her customers.

When customers feel like they arn't being listened to - they tend to fade away.

I haven't figured out WHO is hurt by Andy (or whoever) post on the message board....but this topic sure has received alot of "Hits" this past two weeks HUH?

I wonder if Andy or whoever sent me their results and I cut/paste them on the message board would I be considered a MEDIA PERSON (god help us all)? Would all this ruckus continue or would everyone calm down and just enjoy the "RESULTS" that "I" put on the message board?

All this scratching doesn't make ANY sense to me.... we have someone that everyone enjoys reading to the max and someone/something is trying to make it somewhat "Different' to obtain..... I'd hate to try and explain this game to a youngster coming up in this worl

[straight up]

sure ,you can go there but andys reports arent there . so sad .

[bubba]

let me rephrase:

...especially when we can provide in depth analysis and sage-like commentary

[Edm]

This is something that has happened recently and its pretty obvious several others feel the same way I do. We have a place for MASS EMAILS, why can't we have a place to discuss race reports with the actual writers. We can all blame Jack and hate him but neither of you can look me in the eye and tell me there is not any political BS behind it.

Ideally it would be nice if every track had a reporter that we could discuss races with on a weekly basis. After all, isn't that the "REAL" reason for having a "REAL RACING" forum?

Just a couple of points here...

First, I posted a story here during Winternationals at Ocala Speedway and it got moved. I didn't get hurt, I didn't get mad, but I did question the rule. Once it was explained to me I agreed to abide by it, and I will from now on.

Secondly, this is not my forum. I didn't create it and I don't have a hand in how it is operated now, therefore I can complain but it is up to those who are in charge whether to listen to me or not. And if they don't listen, I have the choice of accepting their rules or going somewhere else. I'm still here, so there you go.

Honestly, I think all of this has gotten way overblown. The dead horse has been beaten into ground horsemeat by now and nothing has changed. Truth is, those who can't live with the rules here don't have to stay, and if enough people don't stay then maybe the operators here will be forced to make changes. Then again, maybe not, but that's how it works.
