Now this TICKS me OFF!!!

[Rusty the 50/50 Guy]

You have one of the GREATEST races in the State of Florida coming up this weekend...
NOTHING!
Too busy telling us how much better it is up north?

You ain't up north..ummmm I am...and I know that there are some of you that think it is the "promised" land of racing...guess what...same problems!!!

Why can't YOU the fans get involved with making these races GREAT..too busy worrying that the track is not doing it for you? I am not there anymore..I can still do it from up here! And I WILL do EVERYTHING that I can to help from afar!

Thanks Rusty,I fear that mostly the ones that need the boost the most aren't on here or are too bezzzy bitching,

[Boneman]

Rusty, you are referring to the TBARA race at Punta Gorda, right?

[Rusty the 50/50 Guy]

No sir...in my rant I forgot to mention the race GEEEESH!!!!! LOL

The Marion Edwards, Jr. Memorial at New Smyrna Speedway!!!!!!!!!

Sorry TBARA and Punta Gorda..Love ya both but this race MUST be recognized!

Last map I looked at still showed Texas in the south. I didn't realize they moved it up north...!

[Rusty the 50/50 Guy]

Ohhhh so you have to be above a certain line now???? That is interesting!

[Frasson118]

It's like saying Orlando is "out West"..... it is if your standing in Cocoa at the time...!

[carolwicks]

Wixy

And we are the mouths of the south at PGS ......lol

[Boneman]

Texas Yankees! Davey Crockett and Sam Houston are rolling in their graves...

Back to your point about the race...the fans can do nothing except plan to attend. If the track is passive about promotion, then the fans can't hope to act on their own. Any track has to demonstrate that it is interested and receptive. I can understand their reluctance: there are very few fans who would help out for the benefit of the event, and not have hidden motives.

I really do not want to get too far off of the subject of the Marion Edwards Jr Memorial race...HOWEVER if you have time to GRIPE you have time to PROMOTE!! Take that negative attitude and put a positive spin on it! This is a very GOOD ...IMPORTANT race!!!! Is it going to kill some of the arm chair promoters to get the word out????

I have no stake in this claim other than honoring a GREAT family!...wait a minute YES I do then!!!

I really am not interested in how they do it up north above WHATEVER line you chose to make or if it is the whole dirt vs asphalt thing or whatever is the topic of interest for the week!

I care about making this a memorable race!!!!

It REALLY will not hurt for you to get excited about this race!!!!!!!

[Boneman]

Ok, you win.

Back when it was at Hialeah Speedway,for many years I'd buy a lap[$20 back then as I remember] and I'd put up one racing V8 engine Balance job from my speed shop RPM Balancing=to go to first one to blow up in the race or to 10th place if no one blow-up,I did that for about 10+ years or more,but I'm retired now .
Still if anyone can help like that,they should,is the track even trying for help?

Go Rusty!!
