I heard both Sam Driggers and the promoter tell racers last night that if they don't like the way things are then "sell your stuff and buy a boat". Nice way to talk to the guys putting on the show!

i guess if thats how they want to run/ruin their business thats on them...but in todays society you can not afford to lose a single customer...each driver brings in 1-5 people in the pits...plus numerous fans in the stands....and each driver you run off...you also run off their fan base...the good news is it makes for shorter lines at the concessions and beer stand

LM counts are down. Look at Eldora numbers and these clowns are beating up on the racers when they themselves are the idiots of the sport.

From what a poster on another thread said Babb might have left the tour because, of the tire rule and if that's true Babb might have just called their bluff. Like I said I'm going by another poster but, don't know for a fact it's true.

Don't believe the rumors Kid. Someones out in left field. Why would Babb want to haul a trailer full of tires if he didn't have too.
My guess is Shannon stayed behind to regroup after Eldora. A lot of guys kind of started behind the 8 ball after last weekend with not a lot of time to get prepared. A few days more to get prepared could be what he needs.

Yeah, like I said I didn't know if it was true or not but, I did see he took a lot of the Hell tour dates off his schedule that he had previously had on there but, he does still have next week on his schedule so I'm guessing he will probably see how it goes from week to week. You are probably right he just needed to regroup.

I was at the drivers meeting and heard it myself. Other posts verify it as well. You at the drivers meeting? Bob Memmers slept in his car during SN so the racers got more.....Sam calls them premadonnas and tells them to buy a boat!IMCA keeps racing affordable Sam Driggers increases costs for racers. Wonder why car counts are decreasing? Racers are UMP members so that mean they are SAMs UMP customers. Who e,se talks to their customers like this?

**old fan** · 06-18-2016, 10:06 AM

actually Bob a had a van I would 'nt across the street if it was free for a IMCA event

I talked to Shannon he's all good to go going to run a next week maybe a few the following week ? Not many said Sam text the tire rule about 10 days before the start did not ask anyone any thoughts plus changing the point payout and on and on decided to pic and choose the races but to help with the decision on Tuesday Sam said the OHIO tracks don't like his new rule so you can run 30's up there?????? So you still have to buy the same as last year and carry .......THE HEAT HAS GOT TO SAM
