One thing I will say ther have been times that the car counts were low at Dixie and Rome but they always ran the classes. In closing I hope he can make it work but you do not do it by cutting peoples throat who are trying to help you make a go of it. By the way do you have a car or are you just a fan lot of difference in spending 150 vs 12 to get in stands.
    RW57, I'm sorry that you did not understand that "10" meant "10", not 8. I probably had at least 15 Econos contact me to say they would show up, but they didn't. I spoke with at least half of the ones that did show up, and they understood that the minimum (10) was not met. 2 out of the top 6 finishers were "Econos". I am aware that your car finished 10th...and hey, what if I would have scored you 12th...would that have been close enough? I greatly appreciate everyone that came to support the track, and I do apologize for the issues we had. And Sir, I wish you the best wherever you may choose to go, and I hope you continue to support, not criticize, the great sport of dirt track racing.

      Your scorekeeper did not even have the car on the line up he ran third in the heat your scale man called the winner light I saw what he weighed as I was standing at the scales then they put a car he outran in front of him on 1st start I had to raise cain for them to put him in right spot then the car that was dq is allowed to go to the inside pole when I asked you about it you said they weighed him in wrong I told you my opinion on that 1st start caution another restart they put the dang car back in front of him again. I do not know which drivers you talked too but I did not talk to a one who was not unhappy about it some very graphic about it .They were really unhappy when they saw the deal with the ponys 14 cars 2 classes. I will state again I read the web site about the 10 cars but the fact remains 8 people came and stuck their necks out knowing full well that they might have to race modifed hobby but hoping to get 10 or if they got close they would run it anyway. Yes 2 of the top 6 were econo cars but they were 3/4 of a race track behind I know that was not too fun as I have been there myself if the race was ran caution free they would have been lapped. And sir I am not bashing the great sport of dirt track racing just stating an opinion on what went on Saturday nite hopefully you can make it work their it would be a shame for such a great track to go to waste good luck

        That was my car they DQ'ed because of the weight. They told my driver that he had to weigh 50 pounds MORE than what we had to. I pulled the NGS rules up on my cell phone and walked down and talked to Terry. He kept saying we had to weigh the 50 extra pounds until I showed him what the rules said. MY suggestion is someone print out all of the rules and keep them in a binder at the scale house. He did mention a rack to my driver to which my driver replied no, we didn't have one which could explain why he thought we had to add the 50 pounds. We do not have a rack on the car and he has made that mistake twice thus far, once Saturday and once last year at the Mod Hobby championship...

          I also don't recall them saying anything about running 400's. They said open tires on the front, biscuit bars and aluminum wheels. Maybe I was talking when they said 400's though...

            Thanks for clearing that up I am pretty someone asked and they said they would not have to carry more weight most every where else alum wheels have to carry more weight all the stuff they were talking about at other tracks calls for more weight I just think its a crappy deal for all you guys that run there regular to open up the rules without asking what you think about it racing is expensive enough and now by doing this it is just gonna cost you more money.

                    No hard feelings. You corrected the mistake which speaks loudly for your character. I'm working on the posted weight. Gotta figure out how to post weight for Boyds and NGS so it's not confusing.
