    They are not getting any thing but red azzed.

    When all said and done they will need donuts to sit down on.

      Eldora and the sport of Late Models is bigger than these drivers, even Bloomer's ego. The sport and Eldora will live on without these guys there. You could reference the World 100 this year as proof. Everyone will forget these guys and it will cost them more than lawyers after this is over. You can't say that Eldora doesn't mean anything to Scott, that place is a key factor in his fame as well for the others. Eldora results can draw many dollars of sponsors and merchandise sales.

        I know a little something about that suit (evidence) that you all do not know! They are gonna win the suit no matter what attorney they have. It's open and shut. You think it's costing them money?? Fuk no! It's a class action suit. That means the attorney will work the case for free in hopes of getting 33 1/3 of the 16 million. My mother has worked in the law game for 35 years and that's how I know how a class action suit works. They are gonna win but not anywhere near 16 million. Tony can drag out whatever he wants and it's not costing these guys a penny. The day the suit is over all of these drivers will be welcomed to Eldora but I'm pretty sure there won't be any open arms. It costs money to race and unless you place top 5 you are more than likely losing money anyhow. Gonna step out on a limb and say these guys end up with a million a piece of their lucky but now its principal. What would you haters do if you were wrongly accused of a crime that you did not commit?? Would you roll over and go to jail or would you hire an attorney and go to war? The UMP and WRG have tarnished those guys reputation and cost them money and I hope they pay!

          Centeroff....I totally disagree. How are any of the driver's repuations tarnished? Did any of them lose a ride or even one sponsor over being disqualified? Did fans decide not to buy Bloomquist apparel because he was disqualified? I have not seen anyone saying "What should I buy a Bloomquist shirt or a McCreadie shirt? Ah that's right, Scott was disqualified, I'll buy a TMAC shirt instead". You have no proof that the lawyers are working on a contingency basis on this case either. Believe what you want.....but this is not a slam dunk for either side.

              This is not a Class Action Suit. In order for that to happen they have to go through various legal dealings (including in front of a judge) to get it certified as a Class Action suit. At that point, the lawyers then have to find those damaged (the class) and then proceed. Class Action suits can take many, many years to even go to trial (very expensive for the lawyers if they are doing Pro Bono).

              This is simply litigation with 5 (maybe 3 now) Plaintiffs. I personally don't think they will win if the jury uses any common sense (but look who our Presidential candidates are, it's obvious common sense no longer applies to anything).

                  Yeah, Scott has never been busted for tires before. Him and Jimmy have been notorious tire cheaters.

                        No doubt Eldora is bigger than any racer . If you read what I said was , they
                        don't need Eldora . Sure because the man that owns Eldora can keep them away ,
                        don't mean they don't want go there, and does not mean they don't want to be there .
                        but there are a few tracks that mean just as much to them . Like I said they ,
                        don't need Eldora . And Bloomquist is not lacking sponsors .

                                Lets try for analysis without being a TS fan or Bloomer fan. I certainly like TS, but in this case, I could care less who wins. But I have a lot of legal experience and I will leave it at that. This is about getting a settlement. Some Lawyers will sue anyone if they think they have a shot at getting any kind of a settlement. They hope that the defendants decide not go through an expensive trial and pony up some loot. I really do not see a case that wins before a jury, though. I really would be surprised if it gets that far. I am not predicting what will happen as far as settling or not. To think that Eldora has never given anything thought to something like this happening, would be foolish. They are prepared IMO
