Cleveland Speedway Rescheduleds Shamrock For April 7th

No excuses!

Okay, Time to clear the air. I know Monty Morrow personally and all of this garbage talking about him has to stop. He put money, sweat, and tears into that place. Brought his family into debt, and you people complain. YOU aren't the one who lost your butt after a poor attendance. You people claim that the seats were terrible, well nobody saw you out there helping to fix them. Monty wasn't a bad person, but the guy who "owned" it was a douchebag. He NEVER put any sweat, blood, or money into that track. Just to show up and take the earnings. Monty just got tired of being mistreated and finally said screw it, and let him take the plunge. Kudos to you Monty.

First of all, I never saw anyone out there fixing them to help them out. I would have gladly have given someone money to fix those seats, so I wouldnt have had to worry about myself, family and friends. Honestly though, how much do those boards cost? They would have gotten a discount by buying in bulk.

Secondly, I know for a fact that someone offered to buy new American flags to replace the ones on top of the scoring tower. The ones up there were in deplorable shape and what a disgrace to our country to have something like that for everyone to see.

His family was in debt I'm sure also due to the fact of $40,000+ SUV they drove. Gee, just think what 1/2 of that money could have done for that track.

Monty got in the shape he was in by not paying his bills. He couldn't pay his bills because he couldn't get the fans in. You know why? He couldn't get the drivers because he treated them bad and some of them wouldn't come back. Not my personal opinion, but that came straight from some of the drivers mouths. No drivers, no fans equals no money, pure and simple. I heard him with my own 2 ears make the comment, "if you're nice to them they'll come back" when someone mentioned they would have gladly come and cooked breakfast for the drivers that got there early in the morning for the 2010 Shamrock. This person who offered is a good friend of mine and after going by the track about 9:30 that morning and seeing drivers there had my husband and I take her to Walmart. There she purchased 4 or 5 dozens of donuts and several gallons of orange juice. When we went back to the track those guys were so appreciative and remember her gesture of kindness today.

Sounds like you don't know him too well or you would know his personality was his downfall.

Just curious, what money has he put into it? Nothing has been fixed for years until now.
