Anyone Can Operate Putnam
A Car Owners Problem
Auburndale, Citrus or Punta gorda

Maybe ACOP means you are going to get ATICKET.

You are just a real peach now aren't you! If there is a lot of people bashing the series then why is the series still having the best car count and fan base out there? What would they possibly be bashing the series for? You say a small group wishing their way to produce a good show. I think it would be fair to say that this so called small group is producing equal to the best car counts in the state. The shows are as good as any I have seen! I have been to a lot of non series races so I can speak fairly on this topic. Most of the non series races have been anywhere from 5 cars to 15 cars. The series have anywhere from 13 to 23 cars. So the series car count has been better. There has not been one race that I have seen that I can say has been better than the series. There has been some that are as good or equal but not better to justify the fact that the series should not exist like you think! As a racer the series has a much better payout then the non series races so when the non series tracks schedule on top of the series you choose the series because it is a better economic choice and a more fair level playing field to compete in. This is due to the better payout and they do pre and post race tech un like the non series tracks. What should be done is the tracks run a series race and a non series race and see which brings better results. I think we know which will produce better results from the previous races run. As far as the Ellisville race is concerned yes they cancelled because of lack of car count due to the fact it was a bad weekend for people with graduations going on. The series felt it was better to cancel then to have it with a low car count. A few weeks prior they had a non series super late race there with less than 10cars. I believe it was 6 cars but not 100% sure on the exact number. So the cancellation of the race was a good move on the series part not something to look down on them for. The Friday night thing you are right it has been talked about and people just won't support that so that is a smart move on their part by not wanting to change it. It has been figured out by the racers that have any travel at all to get there and that is the reason why there is no car count. You are right again by saying the series don't need your kind of help but I know they have not said they don't need anyone's help so that is a false statement made by you once again. Just give it a rest and let the chips fall where they fall. Support who you want to and quit the bashing! If you don't like the series which obviously you don't then don't say anything at all about them! Have a nice day!

I get that you hope the ACOP series is successful. And blind allegiance just might be the answer.
But here's the bottom line. I've been to number of FUPS ( ACOP ) races and except for the first one, have never felt it was worth the ticket price. And I've been to a couple of them that were among the worst I've ever seen. The series started out ok, but the car count, spectator count, the promoter count, and the track count have declined badly since the beginning.
Most of my posts concerning FUPS/ACOP are just messing with the true believers. But the truth is, the series has gone downhill quick. And if talking about that is your idea of bashing, then get ready for bashing on a regular basis.
And Peach is almost my middle name. Now i'm going to have a nice day.
