ASA Late Model South at Watermellon

[flvideo]

AJ I am not going to argue but if you'll notice mrsouth started the thread and also if you'll notice Dustin, mrsouths son, raced with the fast trucks. Mr south, the starter of the thread, had no problem with bobbys post. His boy got a good boost from fast trucks. Another thing Bobby wasn't blowing his own horn as much as he was proud of all those kids that came thru fasttrucks. I like winger and Bobby worked with kids most of my adult life and I'll brag on one of the kids I helped sheppard over the years. I am sorry to be confrontational, thats not my nature, but lighten up man. This ain't rocket science, we ain't going to the moon. Bob....

It takes a lot to get me fired up but some of you have

I usualy do not get upset I am realy laid back, But the constance nagging a few of you do on Bobby is getting old.

You want to say he hijacked this thread but lets look at it in meaning. Hijack is the unwated take over ( exampels from life a merchant ship is taken over by pirates the merchants do not want them on there boat that is hijacked) If you read this post Mr South who started or (owns this thread) is Darn Proud that his son was in the Fast Truck series and welcomed Bobby's comments.

From what I read Fass and Aj14 are the first two unwanted post to this messages so I guess you need to rethink looks like you are the two that Hijacked the message.

I agree Bobby has over posted at times and then you guys gave him constructive feedback wgich I think he has done a Darn good job at Following his post he makes have cut in half and he use's the same thread over when he can. He is just trying to promote the good work he has done and his track. The attacks aginst him trying to do better for him self or for the Bragging an thi kids he has had a hand in making get farther is getting old.


I think I would much rather read he 200 post a day than all of the negative post some of you post towards him. Get a life and relax life is to short to be so negative all the time.



Keep up the great work Bobby the majority out there like and appreciates it.

Robert

Wow... I guess you told US off!

My point here, is that there are very few posts on here that somehow don't get Bobby involved blowing his own horn. If Ocala Speedway (Mike Peters) has something to say about HIS track, here comes Bobby talking about his. Columbia MSP... same thing. Auburdale... ditto. You can't read a single post, it seems, around here without Bobby shoving this "Greatest Show on Earth" crap at us. I mean really, can you have "The Greatest" thing every single week?

If Bobby wants to talk about his own track, and people want to read it, all the power in the world to both of them. I just don't want it shoved down my throat, when I wasn't interested in the first place.

I'm proud of my Reunion deal that I've done the last few years, but should I jump on every single one of CCMP posts to tell everyone about it... AGAIN?
When I speak of my deal, it's done on its own thread where people can make their own choice of opening up and reading, or not. I don't force it into every possible situation in the name of "promotion".

And just so that a few of you that may not know this, I have met Bobby. I like Bobby. I've been a paying customer, and a vocal supporter of the job he's done down there. Do I agree with his tactics sometimes? Of course not... and that my opinion. I'm allowed to have one of those too, aren't I?

All of this "some people will just never get it" stuff, gets interpreted as being talked down to. Like we aren't smart enough to get what he trying to do. Believe me, we GET IT. Doesn't make us idiots because we don't AGREE with it.


As for Marshalls comment - "Frasson you and AJ have alot of nerve talking, you guys run your mouths on more threads that you didnt start than anyone else on here".

Isn't that the point of a message board... to have discusions, to hear what other people are thinking... maybe a chance to learn something new, or maybe teach someone else something new? At least the threads I post on are sticking to the subject at hand. If you'd like, maybe I'll start posting Reunion info on every damn thread that comes out of CCMP. It will quickly dawn on you that my ramblings have no place whatsoever on their thread.

Same as his posts don't belong on every single subject out there!

[sunshinestateracing1]

I agree that maybe promoting CCMP an every thread is not the right thing to do, and there have not been many times that he has done that after you guys gave him the constructive feedback to do so.

In this thread if I read Bobby's post right he was giving congrats to the former Fast Truck teams that races where in his first post on this thread dose he mention CCMP, or some thing coming up at CCMP. I do not see it at all just a Congrats to Fast truck teams.

If he would have post a message about coming to CCMP on this thread I can see where it would be out of place but that was not the case.

Just because Bobby says something or reply's to a thread dose not make it a come to CCMP topic.

Nothing personal here just giving my opinion like you have.

Frass I know you have been and some times are a supporter of Bobby and I my self was at your last mod reunion, and plan on going back every year You do a wonderfull job promoting racing history, so there is nothing personal here just think it is wrong to blame Bobby for promoting CCMP in every thread when in this one he was sending congrats not inviting them to CCMP.

You say you are tired of CCMP being shoved down your throat but if you would not have called this a hijack I do not think CCMP would have been mentioned in this thread at all

Just my 2 cents Robert

[Benny The Mule]

Mr South, I didn't go to the race but a friend of mine did.
He said it was a good show so congrats on a good run.

For all others....i hit the ignore button on Bobby LOOOONNGGG ago, maybe you should do the same.

If you read this Bobby don't be offended because your obviously trying to cover every angle. Your just WAY too enthusiastic on the board for me.

Next time i get a chance to get back to fla i'll be sure to check your website and catch a show.

Harry.

A.K.A the mule.

Maybe you should do that. I once dogged Bobby at the begining of the year myself before the ASA race but I have been to his track a few times since along with several others and guess what? Besides him the only other ones with good amount of fans was eastbay and ocala. Damn shame because Bobby is proud of some of the kids who raced with him and he posts it you try to turn it into something shitty. Skip over his posts if you dont like them. Maybe you should go over to that pigslop board.JMHO

This was never about the size of the fields, the amount of fans, or quality of show at CCMP. It's about the ultra-hype and the constant barrage of stuff inserted where it didn't really belong. Maybe this particular thread was a bad example, yet I stand behind my opinion that it's just too much, too often, and it gets old. If I wanna read about every little update thats happening at CCMP, I know where to find it. It just shouldn't be forced on people who were reading an article for a completely different reason.

As an example, I wouldn't have had one problem in the world if Bobby had started his own thread sending out a big "Congrats" to the racers that went to Cordele. I would then have my choice to read it or not. Inserted where it was, I think the intent was to shine the light on himself, rather than on these competitors.

As I said before, I am a fan of Bobby's and wish him all the luck in the world... he's doing a fantastic job. But even he will admit, there are different approaches to selling CCMP to people who are already fans, than there is to someone who you are trying to convert into a fan. I just think he needs to use the hype on the Joe Ordinary guy in Charlotte County, rather than a place like Karnac that is filled with people who are not only passionate for the sport, but also knowledgeable.

I've already voted on Bobbys' amazing promotional skills by ending my long time patronage of CCMP . And ignoring his clown act is made a little harder by his constant need for approval . Posts under his name are ignored by me. Posts under the names of others , no matter what the theme , always seem to end up with a CCMP race announcement slipped in . As i said before , if he were serious about this racing board , he would participate in the forums on tires , and rules , and interject ideas . In fact he could initiate threads concerning rule changes and ideas on new classes to build short track racing .Instead he gives a barrage of self congratulations and advertising while falling strangely silent when the nuts and bolts of racing are discussed . For example , since he leases a track , whats his take on treaded tires vs slicks ? Why does he feel the need to charge higher front gate prices than most ? What does he think should be done about open tire rules ? Anybody remember him weighing in on any real race related topics ? No , not really . Just the embarrassing , out of control , veiled cry for help , gibberish on other peoples threads .
Shows me hes really only interested in forcing people to pay attention to him .

And thanks for the page from the dictionary Marshall , i bet no one knew that definition .

Why Can't We All Just Get Along?

WOW WOW WOW.

Look at all the time and effort spent "Since" the original post. I quit reading this thread LONG LONG ago but got caught up in the comedy act this a.m..

Adults don't normally get their shorts in a wad over stuff like this, buy HEY, break your necks!

I know which threads I want to tune into and which ones I don't and I know which ones "Might" have valuable infomation (from past readings). The ones that really turn me off are the one's that have all kind of mis-spelled words and/or sentences that make no sense (written by Adults? ? ?).

Again - "Why Can't We All Just Get Along?"

If people don't like my post, I say "Don't Read Em", just like I don't read "Certain People's" Post. I would rather spend my time doing things more important - like NOTHING.

OSF:

Just Added: Yes, I did recently mis-spell "Whiny" but was corrected very nicely by "Jonh" Oops, I think I mis-spelled his name, (On Well - life goes on)

[mr south 59]

All's I can say is WOW!!!!


And thanks Benny. Wish you could have made it. If you make it to one of our races please stop by. Thanks
