Schedule for Sunoco 100 @ Auburndale

[scott bertram]

Well that explains everything. What a big fucking waste of time.

It's things like the stuff you post and things like Scott trying to cut out his local track of the main reasons why short track racing is going down the crap hole. Scott's probably one of those racers it thinks the race track shouldn't make a dime on anything but should keep the lights on for him to come run his car when he decides to come race once or twice a year. And then you guys will probably be the first ones on the Internet bitching when they close the doors.


My boy is doing a doubleheader at Pensacola and Mobile this weekend. And I'm pretty sure they're buying the 5 sets of tires and 60 gallons of fuel at the track.

Good luck with your crusade. It's really doing wonders for short track racing in Florida.

Thanks again

from what I understand you guys race hit and miss as well, why is that? too expensive? I had to ask someone who you were because I never heard of you before, so the 1 or 2 races a year thing holds no weight. yes I've only raced a handful of times here, we've been plagued with issues since getting a slm, but we keep at it, and want to race as much as possible, and I'm not going anywhere. If I could run my new tires that I already have I could run more often.( My daddy doesn't buy my tires)

Are you personally buying the 5 sets of tires and 60 gallons of fuel or is the sponsor/team owner?

When we race our super. Yes I am ultimately the one that pays for everything. But with that being said we do not go to the racetrack unless we have at least $1000 in sponsorship. We work very hard to secure those sponsors. It is almost like another job. That is why we only had a nine race schedule this year.


Matt, I called your drag race shop and for me to go there and pick up a 55 gallon drum it will cost me more money than if I just buy it right here. $500.75 plus the barrel. And you and Scott have yet to post where I can buy tires and the prices for both. So I have no alternative than to call bullshit on your shit stirring agenda. You are the one who is oblivious to why there is low car count and low fan count and believe me it has nothing to do with having to buy 10 gallons of fuel and a few tires. So again I will just call bullshit iIf all the racers cannot purchase it doesn't help the racers or the car count. Have a good day.

Yeah Scott. We don't follow one series or one track. We are picking selected races around the Southeast and just having fun. We have nine races on our schedule this year throughout the Southeast which started at the Governors cup with the debut of our new 2015 GARC. We were only going to do one race at DeSoto but now it looks like we're going to do three now. And then we will be out of the state of Florida for the rest of the year. I can't really afford to do more than about nine races a year. It has nothing to do with mandatory fuel entire purchases that keeps us away from the track. It more has to do with making the same amount of money we were making 10 years ago but everything cost 10 times as much.

And sorry for calling a spade a spade but, If you're paying for tires for working for somebody that is really no different than paying for tires with cash. To me that's neither here nor there. That doesn't help the racer trying to purchase tires. Does it?

And yet that "drag race shop " says they don't charge for the barrel. I also don't recall them identifying themselves as a drag race shop when they answered the phone. Maybe i just missed that part.
Are you familiar with the word shill?

Any more news or info about the race? The OP and 2 replies focus on info........the remainder of the thread is a pissing contest.

My friend in New Smyrna tells me that NSS doesn't use Snoko ( as Larry Mac would say ). He said they switched to a better gas. So the pricing isn't going to be the same, although he says the gas prices at NSS are crazy. Tire prices seem to be about average.
I was also told that 5 Flags has a mandatory fuel rule. I'm not sure what they sell for tires or gas, or what the prices are.

Ben-jammin,

Am planning on attending this event, barring the crik don't rise no more (the planned transport vehicle {a Ford product} just took a dump).

Will let you know if there are any racer boycotts or etc., but 100 laps of late models at Auburndale?

Am looking forward to it!! & will provide my usual jumbled thoughts/recap later.

Matt theres a track in Georgia for sale called Gresham Motorsports Park. Why dont you purchase it and show all these tracks how its done.

[UREZ2PASS]

Important fact.

Some boobie bars have a minimum drink purchase and they sell drinks for way more than regular bars.

Where's the outrage Matt !

Just hang out in ones that don't. That was pretty easy.
