It's funny how us (racers ) spend all this money to go have fun and yet it seems that some manage to leave the track so upset they can't see straight. I can understand the occasional wreck, parts failure etc etc leaving you upset every few night , but at what point is it better just to leave and go take yourself some where else where you might actually leave with a smile on your face?

Maybe everyone should try and voice their issues the right way. If tech is doing a poor job find the track manager or owner; complaining week in and week out on a message board or to your fellow racers does 0 good for anyone. I understand sometimes sketchy stuff happens at tracks and complaints can fall on deaf ears, but in the end were all there to have a good time. It's unbelievably easy to loose sight of this and to do the wrong thing. Instead of wasting your breath or beating your head against a keyboard just go some place that you can have fun and leave happy at the end of the night!

BTyler, I understand what you're saying, and you are right, if you don't like it leave. The sad thing is Tyler, too many people HAVE left, and DO go home with a smile on their face. I put a suggestion on here to call all of the former owner/drivers they could, gave an example of something that happened to a friend that raced at NSS and OSW EVERY WEEK for several yrs and never returned. I guarantee ONE call from someone in management and he would of returned, along with his 6-12 people both fri & Sat nites. I was called a liar by one of the big supporters on this forum. So yes, the prevalant attitude now seems to be , "if you dont like it, go someplace else". Myself, I'd be very reluctant to have thet attitude because there arent many left to go someplace else. And just to make myself clear, I am NOT standing up for the actions of racing 22. It was wrong if he or someone in his crowd shoved Guy Hillyer as I read on here. But Mr. Hart was also wrong if he asked hoim "How many tires do you buy? What in h--- do the # of tires have to do with the rule book? Tell me Tyler, in the case of my friend, who lost? Him or the tracks? Hes happy, he built a Northern Mod, races it at NSS 2-3 times during speed weeks, and takes it North 5-6 times a yr. He's coming home with a smile on his face but the $500-$600 dollars or more a week he represented at these 2 tracks no longer goes there. So the attitude "if you don't like it go someplace else" will work a while longer, but not much longer"

I wasn't trying to come off with the same attitude as the tracks currently have. I know that attitude doesn't work; my wording could have been a little better . I would have liked to seen and heard what actually happened between Eric and Guy at New Smyrna since I have a feeling there is a good bit not being said on both sides. Last year after we stopped running our truck we did get a call from Mr.Hart, and I can say some of the answers were a little off. All I did was stop making the 15 minute trip to speedworld and instead drove an hour and a half to Auburndale. I believe your buddy did make the right move on what he did. If he's happy then that's excellent! In the end it's all about having fun. Tracks that care currently have car counts. I took a few months so far this season and visited every track with my sponsors and left it up to them what and where we were going to run. It may almost be July . but we are now getting set to bring some new rocket cars to Bubba's track.

I know the current attitude of tracks suck, and it really does suck to bypass some place 15 minutes away to drive and extra hour. Oh and for who ever posted it on here or facebook about it costing more for gas to go and race else where ; I only spend an extra $30 on diesel for the trip. Unfortunately it is what it is in the end. Well just take our business and sponsorship money down the road with us.

We have all heard them; racers, owners or even fans who do nothing but complain about their choice of racetrack. There are a few around my tracks that I actually go out of my way to avoid. Really, I have no interest in hearing AGAIN about how messed up they think things are, about the favoritism, the pay or any of the other junk, real or imagined, that they always go on about.

The racers will always say they are going to tow across the state to another track, or hang it up and get a boat. I really get a kick out of the ones who tow for hours because the other track "pays better". I am sure they are making a whole lot more money by towing for hours, but that is beside the poimt. The question is, are we better off without the chronic complainers? I think so.

Even if it costs the track a car or two, it is worth it so everyone else who decides to stay can have a better time. Who needs the constant infusion of poison?

I also think that someone who buys a ticket or a pit pass should be listened to if they have a problem. The track has no responsibility to make everyone happy, but they should hear their customers out. THEN it is up to the racer or fan to let it drop and find a way to enjoy the night. What makes some of them think we only go to the track to listen to them crabbing about things?

So waddya think? Should a track put up with anything to keep another car (ie: racer22), or should they be invited to haul down the road.

I know what I would do, any other opinions?

I think that the track should do all they can to keep a car but they should not sell out all the other cars for one cry babby so Rex your the crybabby and you wount be missed by many because they allready left.

TUNA WAS RIGHT!!
