Great job Greg telling another promoter that is maybe being 5 to 8 cars to your track that he did not call your office. Your a great promoter Greg this is a great way to get good car count.

Hell it would have sounded much better if you had told him you were having problems phone systems.

Your 100% right racing should be all positive but you make it real hard for that at time you never answer your e-mails and don"t call back. I understand your feelings towards me but I would hope one day you would grow up and let the past be the past and help your track with more car count.

I have spend many dollar racing over the last few year and I plan on having a few trucks and cars racing this year but I am not racing at tracks that will not get back to me and wont answer questions when asked.

This is all so freaking old!

are all you people working your butts off to make sure another track closes?????
Gary.... we all know you USED to work for CCMP... BUT... you didnt work for PGS! please stop already. every time a post comes on berating Greg or PGS you come on here and join in. Please stop. It doesnt make you look very good and you as well have burned bridges you most likely could have crossed again. who would want to do business with a man who does all he can to hurt a business he worked so hard to help build? i dont get it. MOVE ON!
AJ... i cannot believe this is you acting so hateful and rediculous. i had respect for you when you worked at the track. you were polite and friendly. now i see a wicked nasty guy who is pissed off because he lost his job! Stop already. you are not doing anything to hurt anyone but yourself! no one will trust a guy who turns on you when things dont go your way.
Greg works his a$$ off. he works two jobs and one of them is PGS, owned and operated by Kevin Williams. Greg does what hes told! IF he was doing anything Kevin thought was wrong, he would have been fired. Why cant you guys leave him alone?
If you have a gripe email the track and politely air your grievance! I HATE when i call a business and dont get an answer too but racing is endangered and you guys are helping to toss in another shovel of dirt on a grave thats being dug all over Florida!!!
Kevin has only owned PGS for a few short months and has worked like a dog. He will be closed for a couple months and when he reopens then lets see how things go. these past months have been a nightmare....Most drivers are very happy with decisions Kevin has made and we have had very successful races. The pits are pretty full and this weekend should be AMAZING!.
there are 2-3 people making all this noise and they are disgruntled EX employees! So take it with a grain of salt and I hope the new seasons is fun for fans, drivers, and the track.
Russ... you are not part of my post. I understand your need to get ahold of Greg and he did answer...sometimes it takes time but if people leave their name, #, and a brief message he calls back. there are hundreds of calls and it takes time to answer all of them...especially if you work 2 jobs trying to survive in todays economy!
Gary... you said something about everyone should be positive... well please take your own advice! either offer something positive or dont offer anything. you know how this message board gets. how would you feel if PGS closed? it would be like a child you helped raise dying and you are one of the people feeding it poison....
Kevin didnt buy PGS to become rich. he bought it to save it!!!! to give us all a place to enjoy the sport we love. Kevin has raced at PGS since the beginning. he has a very successful business and he can walk away and live comfortably. he loves the speedway and that is his motivation... i bet he is starting to wonder why.... i personally thank Kevin and all the people who stand by him for all they have done for Punta Gorda and for racing!!

I cant believe you wrote this post and taking side after some of our conversation we have had about Florida Tracks and what goes on. So please stop and think what your saying and posting.

Most people that work at track have other jobs When I was at CCMP I ran a business too and I always answered the phone good or bad. Its part of the job Carol. Kevin and Greg are very bad about getting back to people.

There are a few of us that have tryed to get information to help PGS and bring racing team to Punta Gorda to spend money not only at the track but at motels and restaurant in the area so the whole commuity loses because of PUNTA GORDA SPEEDWAY is not answering question. When I race Carol I bring 10 to 15 people with and and make a weekend out of it. So what has the other Punta Gorda business have lost in revenue beacuse PGS doent answer question.

That why Punta Gorda Like the race track it brings people to the Punta Gorda community to spend money form out of town if you cant get answers then you dont come.

Carol I am looking to race next year and when I was racing full time in the past Carol I had 6 street stocks so I really think that a track would like to have that revenue coming in and would take time to answer my questoions either Greg or Kevin who ever is to answer questions for PGS. It boils down to one thing if someone from PGS would answser the phone and the questions there would be no post on here about it.


We have been freinds for years Carol but your post is way out of line on this matter.

Sometime in business negitive bring positive out of it in the long run.

Gary...

i have always told you how i feel about the negativity on the boards. that is what my post is about. nothing more, nothing less. i HATE the way ppl get on here and do that. it isnt helping at all! yes sometimes negative responses can bring about positive results in business, but i VERY SELDOM see that happen on this board when ppl are just PO'd. this isnt a personal thing Gary but every single time someone comes on here and sends a message to Greg, you come on and say something negative or tell everyone about what you used to do. to us it just looks like you have a hair across your a$$ for Greg.
like i said...this isnt personal. it is just something that irritates me and i said what i said. im not always right but i know one thing... i sure dont want to be witness to the day they shut down PGS... hopefully that day will never come. Gary, i dont want to argue on here. it is fruitless. have to go Christmas shopping for the kids now. chill out. same stuff, different day...
