Ah, where do I begin??
After all the Sh*t from 8/9/14 race results with the BS getting bent over in tech, to now "the icing has been placed on the cake".
I go to the track (as a spectator) bring my figure 8 car for my friend to race and let my "young grasshopper's" mom race it in Powder Puff as well.
The only reason I was there in the first place is because I made these commitments prior to the 8/9/14 fiasco and if anyone knows me, knows when my word is given, its good. Camaro is hangin' out at the shop.
I go to the drivers meeting, keep my mouth shut, do nothing more than smile at the rants of a promoter that is battling to keep his composure throughout this. Handful of papers like they mean something. He starts with social media is ruining his track, kept stating he wasn't mentioning any names but kept glaring at me.
He reads from his rule book about the track reserves the right to tech inspect any car for any reason to which in front of everyone asks me if I think this is funny. Which I said yes, I do. He starts in on the posts on facebook and Karnac (he's not mentioning any names) that it's been posted his Techman has a Hornet, Mini Stock and a LM that race at the track he is the Techman. (Which is all true.) I think that's why the previous Techman left because he was not allowed to do that.
That we are all whiners and complainers, that it started with the 3 car last year and is now about the 8 car (for the record, none of the 3 SS that race together has ever "thrown the other under the bus". It has always been the SS racers that haven't even brought their cars there yet this year, crying and complaining.
The only thing the 3 of us have ever complained about was how he's running us into the ground and caused all the animosity we have on himself.
He tries to justify why he made the rule changes about the SS heads (which are better than the heads on Sportsman's btw) to get more SS cars from Bradenton, Showtime and Bronson to his track. Really???
He boasted about how he and Bronson Speedway will be working together and change the schedule so cars from either track will go to the other with making these changes. How it's heaven sent and all will be roses.
It gets brought up in the drivers meeting about the Techman going behind the promoters back and threatening 3 A-Dale SS cars that were coming to race (also in the 8/9/14 race results post). That "He's now the Techman there now and to bring it on!!!".
Laplant says he's talked to them and over rode what Darren Allegedly said. Funny thing is: When a call was made to these drivers while we were at the track, they have never heard from Laplant and as a matter of fact when they were on the phone right then, Darren was handed the phone to clear it all up and set the record straight and prove we were liars, he would not take the phone and walked away.
The A-Dale racers were ever so happy to forward the private messages along which I'll try and get posted for everyone. Very interesting conversation In these private messages.......
Laplant tells me to load my sh*t and leave, I'm banned for life and to take everyone that came with me too (about 13 people). We pull out the gate, park outside the fence to which he expends more time and energy worrying about what we're doing and getting the Sheriffs Dept involved than running a racetrack with rain coming.
He see's the lightning and the storm's brewing, what does he do? He lollygags around, takes an intermission, allows 1 fan participation car make about 5 laps, worries if the cops have thrown us off the right of way yet and screws the Sportsman's (The premier division for the night) (18 of them), he tells them he's not putting on another 50 lap Sportsman rain date race. He got out of paying any of those guys and gals for their time, trouble and $$.
Luckily we left the area before the hurricane hit. Had a great time after that. My phone blew up again and I had strangers come up to me at the track and say to me "WOW" about the drivers meeting..... (that was before I left the property).
So there you go Gary, print this, it will help you keep your stories straight. May want to print Darren a copy too.....

The tech man, Laplant and the other minions are all compulsive liars and shady characters. They have taken the best track in Florida and turned it into a ghost town.
