You Can Promise The World First Got Be Honest

The Question Was Is Bobby Dheil Got Anything To Do With The Race Track . Is His Name On Lease Is He Involved At All With The Race Track How Hard A Question Is That Yes- Or No We Want To Know -------- Truth -----------------

You will be waiting a long time for them to answer your question.

I have been asking them for weeks if there still going to let me run my Outlaw street stocks series still there and can not get a straight answer from them on this. The rumor was there going to have there own street stock class and I see a class called super stock on the e-mail above so maybe it not a rumor.

If they dont run the outlaws at Punta Gorda Speedway so much for Kevin word He told me he still wanted them to run there in the tower the last race I was there.

Oh can't wait for the marathon programs to begin just like before. I didn't know there were that many short track classes? 18 are you kidding me? 7 or 8 per night on average at this track!

I'd love for these track officials to attend the promoter’s workshops in the state. 4 regular classes maximum is all that is needed. Throw in a traveling series now and again and give one division the night off. Its always mentioned in Stock Car Racing magazine by their writers who know a thing or two about racing.

I had to laugh as one writer in National Speed Sport News (Super Fan column) who reports on race chasers who travel all over the country and listed Charlotte County as worst track witnessed due to the number of classes and length of program! I guess I'm not alone!

It ridicules how they run this place. They always count on the back gate paying the bills. Fans don't want to sit through 4 to 5 hour programs, interviewing each driver after a feature win, long intermissions, driver intros, etc..

So what does Bobby Deihl have to do with it now? I believe that was the question???

[carolwicks]

Nada...

Bobby, Gary and all their belongings are gone. Kevin and his crew are working very hard to clean up the place and to replace things that are broken or gone. ;-) I think you will be pleased....so come on down to "the place to race"...

I really dont think Carol Wick really know who are shareholders at Punta Gorda Speedway I will say there are more then two . She is just going by what she was told. It is very interesting on this whole matter and what people think and what people are saying.

I am still waiting for a e-mail back from somebody at Punta Gorda Speedway if there interested in running the Outlaw Street Stocks there I have sent many e-mails to them on this matter without a answer.

So all bs aside is diehl still involved YES OR NO??? easy question right?

[straight up]

usually if you cant get a straight answer , that means they dont want to scare off potential drivers or fans by admitting hes still involved .
