  • Rumor control

    I am not starting a rumor. I am starting a discussion about something I heard that sounds like a good idea.

    Here goes - I heard FFS is shutting down and Craig is joining forces with KARNAC for a mega racing website and messageboard.

    Even if this was a made up story with no merit, what's your opinion ?

      In theory it's probably a good idea, but I believe in competition, and this would be elimitating 1/3 of the large messge boards in Florida. I've heard that KARNAC was going to get a remake, so maybe with Craigs knowledge of computers, and web sites, that is what was meant. To answer your question, no, I'm not really in favor of it, but I'll stay with KARNAC out of respect of Jack. I do enjoy FFS also. billy

        Yes that would strictly be a rumor. Ain't happening. We don't need the help thanks anyway. I heard Bubba is shutting down ocala and joining forces with ken sands to make a mega volusia race track.

          Well, I got a better rumor than anyone around here....

          I got it from a very good source, DESOTA is replacing all the bad wood in the stands starting this week... should be completed by Easter Weekend 2025.

            Everybody wants tracks to work together, it just makes since for the media outlets to work together too. We've seen Craig do alot to help out Jack in the past and he helped Scott recently. Like I said, it's good to see everyone working together. In these hard times, there is no need for tracks and media to work against each other. However, when it comes to operating a business, how much do you help your competitor ? Joining together sounds to me like a way to do the most good for the racing community.

            Maybe Craig would be a good addition to helping Rick with the messageboard. His "customers" would be inclined to follow him to the KARNAC messageboard. Again, just my opinion.

                  Very good point Rick, but would it not be better to have more people posting than just reading ? Some people will never post anywhere for multiple reasons, which means there is a limited number of posters. Posters are to messageboards what racecars are to racetracks. The more the better the show. If you are content with the show, does it still not make sence to attract even more posters ? Just thoughts and opinions.

                  By the way, check out the number of views on this thread. It is interesting to many.

                    Well, the latest rumor I've heard is that Orlando SpeedWorld is becoming part of a new attraction owned by the Royal Saudi Family called "Third World World"... Here you will get the experience what only millions of regular people over the world have gotten to experience... Mock hijackings, political unrest, drive-by shootings etc. (no real bullets will be used - we think)... A ticket is good for three months and you cannot leave... No concessions will be sold, so unless you can arrange for someone to drop you food or water from the air, you starve... However, you can enjoy a performance of CRASH-A-RAMA every Saturday night!!!
                    Squabbles over who is going to cover Florida racing on the internet are a grain of sand opposed to what millions of people are dealing with all over the world...

                      Many people have approached us about joining forces with other websites so to say, the thing is that no one has had anything to offer that would help us, rather it is a way to help them. Really we don't need it.
                      Most of those sites have come and gone,we are still here.

                      The people who actually help this site are the contributors. The hard working people who write, send photos etc. from racetracks all around the country with little or no compensation to themselves only the passion to be involved and keep our sport alive.

                      The population has not declined on this message board or the site itself as a matter of fact it continues to increase. Everyone has the freedom to post and use whatever messageboard they want. If you don't agree with the way a board is run then just change click the button and move to the next one, but this one will always be here.....

                            Now don't go getting all defensive. Its only a discussion. Nobody is telling you how to run the board, just suggestions and opinions. You have been really good lately at controlling the hostile drama.

                            I'm ignoring your cheerleader

                              I have no idea why this whole thing here started because of a comment I made on my website but the two sites are not joining. Scott and Rick run this site and I run mine. Karnac has been around for a while and Im sure it will continue to remain one of the top sources of Media for Florida Racing. Yes others do exist but I will also help anyone support Florida Short Track Racing. Please don't spread rumors to try to get one website fighting over the other. It will not happen because I made a promise it wouldn't and I WILL KEEP THAT PROMISE. BTW thank you for the nice comments
