was mike Jewell going to put on the tail of the feature or he left track due to car repairs. mike sure didn't cause the wreck, the driver in front of him lost controll. good racing but sure was alot of door slamming going on.

[misbehavin379]

to answer the question they made a very bad call and was sending mike to the tail and he didn't like it which i don't blame him.that's why he left the track.
they had lots of issues with the making of calls and gettin card lined up both nights.to many people tryin to run the show and none really knowin what to do.

[Daisey_Dirt]

Officials were a joke!:mad: Worst i had seen all year.

[RaceForTheTruth]

Well with Tracy Burchsmell and her 3-ring-circus help there, I knew it would be before I went but I thought maybe, just maybe we'll see a halfway decent show but I was wrong and several drivers got screwed and steve smith just about did!

[UGROOVE1]

Tracey has done the best that She can with teh cards that she has been dealt. 2012 will be a different situation all together. So get off teh bandwagon, we all know there were issues to be addressed, but the #1 posative is that Ponderosa is back open and they are planning for larger things in 2012 with teh appropriate people involved. I think for a cold weekend the races were good and teh cars showed up as well as teh payouts were there. So let us all look forward to 2012 and get behind Tracey as She is doing teh best for the track and teh drivers and fans. Give it a little time-I am sure that you will see a difference....unlike the 2011 season as a whole....2012 will be a better place to race at the Pond

Family and I hit the road Saturday for a 2 hr drive (despite the weather) to Kentucky's Baddest Bullring, Ponderosa Speedway. When i got there I was thrilled to see one of my favorite drivers there and bring home a great Win... Congrats Aaron Hatton. Great Job!!
Other than that I was shocked with what i watched...1. A very nice and pretty pink and white late model hits the wall... brings out the caution, lets the track officials pull some sheet metal, then he gets his spot back!! WOW!!!! 2. In the Outlaw Sportsman class the "topless"#1 car , should have NEVER, NEVER, NEVER, been sent to the Tail!!! Caution was there when he came into the turn and he was trying to STOP ! 3. I have NEVER seen a tow truck driver (wrecker operator) treat cars the way he did... SHAMEFUL!! {# 47 car was one}
( thinking maybe someone should jerk his car around )
I , myself know how HARD every Driver Works, Saves, Trades, and does what ever they can to be at a Track on Friday or Saturday night of their choice with their Family. I admire each and everyone of them. So I must say for all the tracks I have visited in 2011 "Kentucky's Baddest BullRing" would have to be the Worst Track official's of the year!! Congratulations Ponderosa! Wish you Luck in 2012!
p.s. if you would add salt or butter to your popcorn.. it would be eatable and you would sell more! :)

I SAY FIRE THE OFFICIALS! BUNCH OF IDIOTS!

I think the wrecker driver was from Bluegrass.
I enjoyed the races though. Fun weekend. I guess you should have been camping in the pits.
