    You know that 6 weeks isn't enough time to repair a gate. That is funny... Just another example of all the excuses. If they do have this show in April, I would be scared to death as a racer of getting paid. SAS needs to make sure the $$$ is there before they show up. I hate to say that, but we have raced at tracks that at the end of the night didn't have the funds to pay and wanted to cut the purse or even worse. Good luck to Cleveland and all involved.

      Mmmm... Don't think so. I live in Cleveland and go by the track several times a week to see if anything is going on.

        Boyd's Speedway was scheduled to have a SAS race tonight and they have been working on the race track week after week... I don't know anything about gates, but that didn't have anything to do with not repairing the broken and brittle boards all over the grandstands or attempting to somewhat grade the track. And from what I understand, they made arrangements through the bankruptcy months ago to be able to race this year. I've known Ronnie a long time and wish him the best and hope that things work out. I'm sure it's going to be tough on him juggling 2 businesses. He needs someone at the race track or a partner, that he can depend on. Unfortunetely he has't had it. It has hurt to see Cleveland run down and I'm tired of the excuses. Joe Lee worked there pretty much 365 to be able to race, not just when he needed the cash to go buy a bunch of personal equipment. Praying for Cleveland!!!
        It was not a SAS race, it was a non sanctioned event following SRRS rules. Just to let you know those broken and brittle boards have been there for a long time and should have been fixed before this past off season.

Nothing should surprise me though after what happened to Atomic, which was the raciest places around. And SAS, SSRS, Lucus Oil, WoO, or whatever the sanctioning body, from what I've heard, they were ready to race.

              Who was ready to race? Boyds? Cleveland?

                now ive been around for awhile. been to a lot of tracks. been to atomic a million times. were you there for the three hundred lapper? ndra, havatampa, see ken phillips, bud lunsford kennimer, all the drivers in that era. ever go to ellajay ga. to the races> who are they when you say ready to race. cleveland had not been touched all year until court was figured out. if the had raced we would be hearing how run down it is and ect. not wanting to argue, just want some racing action to happen. a lot of work is going on at cleveland now. cant wait till april

                  Simple question, if I go to Cleveland, does Month Morrow benefit in any way under this new deal?

                      From what I have heard he is outta there and I'm glad. He treated most of the drivers like poo and pi$$Ed a lot of them off. Hoping now there will be lots of drivers show up.

                        I went by there today. The old wrecker is gone, but the fence is still down. There is though a Play Day scheduled for March 31 on the sign out front.

                            they are working hard , it takes time to do what needs to be done, it took 7 years to get it in the shape its in and there is no way it can be fixed in a month, give them a chance, i guarantee you we have a promoter now that you can talk to and appreciates your business.

                                From what I have Ronnie is running it and with help from the Elliotts is in the process of cleaning it up and fixing the bleachers. I went by there again on Wednesday and noticed a large blue dumpster filled to the top sitting where the front pit gate was. It wasn't there Tuesday, so it looks like they are cleaning things up and getting ready.
