Richmond updates????

[CJ2008]

Where too start. Why would a new series not start all 23 cars for there inagural race ? Why was the format 4 heats with only 23 cars and taking the top 3 only ?? Just nuts, the Consey was a complete cluster with the B5 taking out a car and not being sent to the tail, then the 33 lifts and carries a car all the way down the back streatch after the race is over, the malay on the back stretch..the malay in the pits following took how long ? Almost 30 mins...The 53 ruffed up the 88 and he(the 88) showed his displeasure on the back stretch..took almost 10 mins to clear that up...all this I blame on the new series.
The Mod Feature was called because of time, why were the 4 cars that left the track only to wreck out again, allowed back ?...No wrecker either, whats up with that ? The Road Hoggs or what ever they were called was also called because of the time, we left right after the LM Feature and got to the car at 12:16 am....the Features started at 9:30, ??????? The announcers were the worst I have ever heard, the only info about racing was not about what was current on the track, I ask, I believe his name was Mike, about the consey incident and he just got up and walked away...never gonna listen to that radio program they referred to next time I am in the area, those guys were just bad. I could go on and on. I think this new series has some potential, needs smoothed out. Needs a better track that will enforce all driving issues evenly, the purse was respectable.

You must walk really slow!!!! I stayed for the road hogs and left at 12:10. I think that you are the same person that sat behind me and cussed all night every single time somebody touched 5H.
The LM race was good, in my opinion, but the other classes just had one of those nights where everyone forgot how to drive.

You never heard me curse. Maybe you need a new watch because it must have stopped on you. I am exactly sure of the times. Most of the cussing was coming from behind me, along the top row and most of it was about the B5. You must be very expecting of a poor show, very lacking in many areas.

I don't need a new watch. The racing was over no later than 12:05. I wasn't expecting a poor show, but sometimes it doesn't matter where you go you just have those nights. In a perfect world everything would go perfect every single night. I just think you and a lot of other people should just be thankful that we have places left to still go watch races.
Did the B5 get into him????? Yea he made contact, but those guys are trying to make the show, so they are driving harder than they have all night, and even some of the best make contact. Look at Ray Cook, he spun the 88 and that was way worse than what the B5 did.

Yes, you do need a watch. We talked about the time as we left the parking lot.
Excepting poor programs with a gran of salt ,is WHY we are loosing places to watch a race. Why would a driver, crew and fan wish to return to a place that was so poorly ran.
The poorly ran program has nothing to do with the 5H.
No excuses for the poorly ran program.
There were lots of people in the area I sat in upset with the B5 in the Consey and with the 53 in the Feature...and if you were near where I sat, you heard them too. Any objection I may have had were already being yelled aloud by other people, no need for me to say anything all night.

As a fan of racing i have been to allot of shows ran by folks who try to put on a good show,whether it be a successfully track that has withstood years of bashing fans or a old track with new owners or even a new track with new promoter's i think we as fans need to support them or very soon the way the economy is going there will be very few and far far between tracks to go visit.There will be drivers who let emotions take over and there will be drivers who just have skill and just as the drivers there will be fans who like one and not the other(drivers) that's why we go if it weren't for these reasons why go so lets all just go cheer for your driver and of he's taken out wait till next race and cheer again or boo the driver you don't like but please don't run down a track cause like i said before without the track then you would be at the lake or somewhere different Just saying

and cook didnt spin linville that was all racing incident cook had outside line coming out of turn two linville came up on him down the back stretch not noing cook was there if he spun him on purpose he da*n sure wouldnt have done it on the straight away in front of him besides cook didnt have to spin any of them cars to win the race he was the only pro there the rest are just weekend warriors

I knew it wouldnt be long before you ran your sacklicker on this one. Didnt see the incident clearly because I was sitting in the stands unlike you sitting in someones lap in the pits, but I will say that the #4 car was passing them BOTH at the same time, so he probably would have been your winner.

A pro? What the he11 are you talking about? I remember a few years back when the Battle of the Bluegrass had a race a Richmond, Cook was there and didn't even transfer to the feature race. His crew was sitting at the back of his hauler after the consi was over looking like they were in shock. And besides, if he is such a pro, how come he is only 10 points ahead of 11th place in the Lucas Oil standings? You would think if he was a pro and since he has somebody paying for everything he does then he would be ahead of some of the weekend warriors in the Lucas standings. Maybe he needs to pray a little more.

jewell can drive with the best of them!!!! he probally didn't have a rich daddy or mom to let him race at the age of 11. what in the hell is wrong with a blue collar racer? humm. for a 50 yr. old man he sure can get around my home track.....bluegrass motor speedway. big money buys car's and motors! leave the comman man along, they give me entertaiment on sat. night.

We were talking about being a pro, not the number of wins. A pro doesn't have to put the bumper to other drivers to win. Not only did he put the bumper to a 20 year old Linville, but he put the bumper to Jewell earlier in the race on the front stretch and almost wrecked him.

[mudball]

In my opinion, That was a great feature race with some good 3 wide racing. Hated to see Dustin wreck out because it would have been a dandy of a finish,but everyone I have talked agreed, it was just hard racing deal.

The main reason he is that far back in points is because of bad luck this season, like flat tires, and getting caught up in things not of his making. And as far as the last time I checked the guys in front of Ray in points are not weekend warriors in fact they all do this for a living as far as I know. And as far as praying goes, I think that Ray has a very fine relationship with the Lord as I have witnessed at the Dirt Racing Outreach services, as for you I am not sure. But I think we can pray for you also and I will, have a good day sir.

[bleedsbluer2]

bottom line is ray took the 3 grand home so get over it and start praying for your little weekend warrior to win the butterball in the near future wouldnt be suprised to see cook skip lucas and come get 7500.00 more

[wildchild101]

it would have been nice to see linville win that race..i heard ray cook never lifted the gas pedal for linville.hang in there dustin you might have got took out but you know he had to junk you to win.
