  • Why?????????????

    I have been sitting here racking my brain trying to figure out why people do some of the dumb things they do. Why do they pick on other people who are being very serious with their question and make it a pissing match instead of what is was in the beginning - a question.

    No wonder Florida tracks are in trouble with so much negative this and negative that. If you honestly looked at any message board for the true facts of any track, well, you would not want to go to any of them. Negative this, negative that nothing Good. Even when someone posts a pre-entry list of drivers, someone tears that up in one way or another which is just plain stupid and silly.

    No wonder I have backed away from racing for awhile. There is nothing good being said about much of it at all. You want cars to come back and new fans in the stands, better find something positive to post so they will come. Rick Day and his $5.00 admission for Columbia has been one good post and actually if you will look at his car counts, they are getting better. Rex Guy must do some things right because look at his car counts or Citrus's car counts, and they got cars.

    East Bay, Volusia and Ocala all have cars and good fan counts and North Florida is growing by leaps if you will look at their site. All they need is someone to help write their races for them and to showcase their great drivers. Even Southern Raceway in the panhandle has great car counts and by what I have been told by Bob Smith, pretty good fan counts also. But you never see much on the message boards about Southern Raceway or North Florida.

    Honestly, if I was someone from out-of-state and was here for whatever reason and looked at the racing message boards available here in Florida, I probably would say forget it and not bother going to a race. Why should I, no one has much of anything good to say about anything.

    I wish Kevin and Michael good luck at their new track, Punta Gorda Speedway. We have lost enough tracks already with Putnam sitting idle and Bronson. Northwest Florida Speedway will start up soon and we will have 7 dirt tracks going in the state and 8 asphalt tracks. But again, who really puts on a message board COME TO MY TRACK, YOU WON'T REGRET IT, GIVE US A TRY AND HAVE SOME FUN ONE NIGHT. I'll even buy you a beer if you come!!!!!!!!!!!!

    GEEEEZE I thought all that crap was supposed to stop when a few of the 'trouble makers', as we were referred to, left this forum.

    Have a great day Jane and hope to see you again soon.

    RIP Jack Smith and Kim Brown. Many thanks for all you have done for our sport.

        WTG Jane!

        You hit the nail on the head !! Nothing on the boards but bitchin and complainin! And yet we have so much fun and plan our lives around racing!. I know how you feel. All the negativity makes you wonder why you even try. But we love the sport and we love the people so we will ignore the BS and do what we have to do to try and make things better. Good job...

          I agree!!

          Jane, I agree completely. There is noone any more capable os saying whats on my mind, but I also believe in saying something good too. The post about the LM race was appreciated by me. I also saw no reason really on the surface for VSS getting quite so upset, like I said, on the surface. I do understand though being asked the same thing over and over. Anyhow, i think they both may of over reacted a little. I have given some out and had LOTS more thrown back at me, but thats fine. I also go on The Florida Sportsman Forum dailey. It is MANY times larger than KARNAC or any other racing forum I have seen. There is no where near the hate, meaness, name calling there as on these racing forums. And most of it is people running their mouth about someone they admitidly never met or know. On the fishing forum I mention I may go to say St. Lucie Inlet and the guys down there come on with GPS numbers, weather conditions, their call sign on the VHF radio, anything you need to help you have a good day in their neighborhood. I love racing too but hate the BS that is going on. Good post Jane

            I by no means am trying to start trouble just asking everyone to please think sometimes. Alot of outsiders do check message boards when they come into the area and it would be nice if they saw something to help them want to go to the race track. There are dirt fans, asphalt fans, sprint fans, super late model fans, etc. and when coming to someplace new and going to races back home, they want to check out the action in Florida. We just need to make them want to come to our races, that is all I am saying. It isn't hard to be alittle more positive than negative and personally I don't want to see any more tracks go under.

            So have a great night and again, I am not trying to start trouble or get something crazy going, just asking everyone to use their brains sometimes and post something positive for a change.

            Have a good one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

              Like I said jane I agree. Also i'd like to say I've only been to the races a few times this yr, all at NSS. I feel lots could be changed and maybe it will but I have enjoyed the racing that I have been to. Great shows. Maybe need a little more effort or starting on time and keepinf the show moving better, but I also know time fliesn quickly. Anyhow, great racing going on, especially last Sat. Man that L/M AND truck race was awesome!! I will be there this week to see the trucks again.
