BS @ Cleveland Speedway

[ga.dirt66]

I'm not a fan of any of the drivers that were involved in the fights at Cleveland, I just want to post my opinion of how it was handled. I was not at the track, but had seen on facebook the fight between Pritchard and Elliot. I would like to say I cant believe 3 track officials would stand back, (one being a brother of one of the fighters), and would let this take place in front of fans (most being children), and taking a chance on one of the drivers getting seriously hurt, or possibly killed. Shame on the track, the officials, and Bradley Co. police dept. for not handling it in time. I think the track should be shut down for a few weeks, or fined by the city due to the seriousness of this matter. The track officials knew of this fued and set back and let this happen. Shame on Cleveland Speedway, shame on the drivers, and Cleveland should look at how other tracks handle these similar issues. People need to remember that this is supposed to be fun for the drivers and the fans. For the drivers to take matters into theyre own hand in the way they did is unbelievable. I think all driveres involved should be barred, jailed, and also the officials that inticed this fight to take place on the back straightaway.

well gosh darn i was there. it was a delayed fight. i saw the track workers go up there and break it up.

[acetone]

so all your post but one is negative about cleveland. the police are paid very good money to work there, that is there job. give it a rest.

i have not seen a video of it on facebook. the link please

[ga.dirt66]

the link on fb shows one official arms out to his side hold the other two officials back to let them fight then finally it shows a cop finally showing up after the fight had been going on for atleast two minutes, and also the outlaw graphics guy steps in with the police to break up the fight, im not bashing the track, im a fan of the track, but not satisfied with the way it was handled by the officials, the fued should have been taken care of weeks ago, i will get u the link one moment

[ga.dirt66]

and if it was a delayed fight, police should have already been there

To begin with the track workers aren't paid or trained to stop fights and as said I think it brewed a litle while before it happened and also as I said on another site If all the vultures would stay where they belonged and not run back and forth and instigate the drivers like little kids in school It may not have happened would You want to get in the middle of a bunch of Idiots I wouldn't and I carry a gun They did just what they should have waited for the police to take care of the matter I'm with Acetone Seems like all you want to do is Bit ch about Clev. Clev is on the right track But it's people like you that shed negative ideas about the sport that spread like wildfire with people who would love to shut Clev 411 Boyds Smokey Mt all down but permanantly instead of a few weeks This isnt' the first time a driver lost his cool and won't be the last Unfortunate Yes but That's the nature of the beast

All he is really saying is the track should of handle it better and he is right. They could of hashed it out a whole lot different. If someone gets seriously hurt there will not be a place to race and nobody wants to see that.

Bring Monty back, he didn"t let things get this far out of hand.

Judging from what Jimmys face looks like I would say he got the bad end of the deal. Sure he got a running shot and got him to the ground but even as the video shows it doesn't look like Jimmy won that fight by any means. I mean sure all his following gets on here and pumps it up like he won,"there his buddies and there all 18 - 25 years old. In reality he didn't win that. He come down that hill like a Walrus trying to get to water. It's Jimmy and a Bunch of Kids that is going to get the place shut down. They run it to death online and at the racetrack. Family is going to always play favorites it's a little saying called "Blood is thicker than water". I love the track and love working there but is it just me noticing this or is everyone involved in the mess this weekend RELATED to CHAD ELLIOTT????

Everyone has an opinion and i'm throwing mine out there to be heard. I'm sure he lost a few drivers and fans who bring there kids to the race track on Saturdays and I'm one who also wants this place to stay open but do not like what is going on.

That is my thoughts exactly.

what a disgrace by all involved. Most tracks would ban all involved. Just shameful . hopefully decent racing people will still have a track to race at.
