New Smryna 8/27/16

[OldSchool+]

Congratulations to Brad May and Bobby Sears for a big win in the Clyde Hart Memorial event.

He bested Rodgers, Russell, and Keene, among many others.

Similarly, congratulations to Patrick Thomas and Jim Harris on a Sportsman win.

The #111 Team has been trying to get back into victory lane and Patrick won in convincing fashion on this evening. Work, testing, work, thinking, work...sometimes it pays off, sometimes it doesn't, but on this evening, it was good to see the #111 notch another win at NSS.

New Smyrna will definitely lose a bunch of ticket sales if they are only posting on Facebook. I don't use that...

I won't be attending events with friends and family and won't keep track of the results if they aren't posted here because I won't know about them and don't have time to seek them out. No big loss to me, like everyone says, there are plenty of other activities to do here in Central FL.

It is your prerogative to read facebook or not.

It is New Smyrna's prerogative to post here or not.

It is easy enough to click on the link provided, although, again, your choice.

But here is what seems clear--to me:

a) There is more going on here that NSS posting on Karnac.

b) New Smyrna Speedway is a rock, and will be. Like the Grand Canyon, they will be there regardless of who is President, and racing with or without the support of every single person in the state.

For my $0.02, I choose to support racing, and to support New Smyrna Speedway.

I hope you reconsider.

NSS takes to much motor. citrus is where it's happening I hear people are building there cars to race citrus that were planing to race NSS . I think they will be in trouble in the future. if someone is was to take osw and run it like citrus they would destroy NSS it's a high bank short track that's where the racers want to race a short track not half mile . FACT!!! Like it or not . Advertising on here will be the least of there worries .

Kim Brown has been fighting her health problems and is recovering now and is still out there running the show. I don't know how because with the heat all she does a healthy person would have their fill. I am sure when she feels better she will resume her posts. The track is there and they are running weekly. Their results are on NSS website. I do not use Facebook either.
We have run at ALL Florida tracks when we could, The good ones and bad ones come and go.

I agree with all you guys, before joining KARNAC I always attended the Governor's Cup and one night of Speedweek. I will continue to check the NSS website and go to those events.

Hearing about the weekly events and having the results posted here kept me interested and had me attending a few weekly shows and special events. Now that I'm not hearing about them here I won't know about them and won't go.

nss

I want to go watch 10 bombers or 6 mini stocks go around 1/2 mile track. (NOT)

[shorttrackcar1]

Yea funny thing is they are not even bomber class . You couldn't race them at any other track with bombers . they are strictly stock class race what ever car you want . all mixed matched no weight limit it a garbage class that has run off racers . And now I hear they are going to let the sportsman class run built motors with vortex heads . Well they couldn't leave a good class alone who ever came up with that should be fired !!!!!! The class will crash and burn now .

Just as an FYI SHorttrack1 before making statements regarding rules you should check and verify. If you would spend the time looking at the rules at EACH Florida track instead of misinforming everyone here, ( along with many others) you would find that the VORTEC heads are allowed at EACH track and have been in the 2016 rules all year. All I did was google each track and look it up. You might try it some time.

[shorttrackcar1]

Read what I wrote did I say they weren't aloud at any other tracks ? Did I !!!!!!!! Either way this will ruin the sportsman class FACT!!!!! I READ everything what engine shop do you own or work for ? Because they are the only ones who would cash in !!!! not the tracks or racers FACT !!!!!!

[shorttrackcar1]

And for your information I just looked at the sportsman rules for NSS it says no vortex heads FACT !!!! Maybe your the one who needs to read before misinforming people .

2016 New Smyrna Schedule:

http://www.newsmyrnaspeedway.org/sch...ule_Index.html

I get it, I can check the schedule or check Facebook - but I don't.

Reading about the results/stories etc. get me hyped up to attend additional events. I usually check Karnac, S51, and RacedayCT for my racing news and plan events based on the news on those sites. I have no desire to check facebook or NSS website.

Whether this may make sense or not to you it's the truth and it will have a minor effect on NSS because they will get less ticket sales and concessions from my group.

Lol

All this talk is for no reason as Smyrna doesn't care what anyone thinks. It's their way or no way. They cater to the few that spend a bunch of money there. Vortec heads just got added to the rules cuz Patricks built motor heads were wrong and it was a easy way to get it back together. Yes other tracks allowed them but with a weight penetly. You seem where Ryan29 said he was told to not post on here and he works for them lol. Patrick also had nobody good to race this past weekend I'm sorry oldschool. Oh well guys just though I would say my .02 cents

[shorttrackcar1]

Your correct Justin . And now we no the truth. Wow !!!! the sportsman class grew because of crate motors . Not built motors !!! now the class will will go down hill and we will know who to blame real nice .
