Social Media and Negativity: A bad combination for dirt racing

Does speaking out negatively on social media hurt dirt racing?

I'm kinda tired of hearing this. If you put on a good show for a good price the word will spread. If you keep serving up dung for a show your gonna get ripped on social media. What it means is doing things half way wont cut it anymore because in the time it takes to hit send everyone will know and vice versa. No more days of luring people in with flashy adds and hype only to have a train race in a dust storm with restrooms growing the Ebola virus and a concession stand serving garbage with 2 inches of ash hanging off a cigarette... Do It Right or Don't Do It At All.

Social networking sites are dumb. Is this not what real social interaction is for? Why does EVERYONE need to know what you think? Are you the president or something? If you got something worth saying, do it in person or make a phone call. Also, why in the world would I want to know what you think unless you are a good friend or family member? Social media isn't bad for racing, it's bad for the entire world. It cracks me up that promoters blame social media, when their track was never that great to begin with. I see racetracks with obvious things that could make a WORLD of difference, and yet it never gets changed year after year. Some of these promoters think all they have to do is throw water on the track and tons of people will show up. If the track and racing is good, people will come. Also ump cars aren't getting cheaper. Seems like racers are racing a little less and being pickier about what tracks they attend. So the not so good tracks are gonna lose.

This is a social media site in which you just gave your opinion. Do you think you are the President or something?

Thanks for saving me the keystrokes, BBQBoy. I'm so sick of reading the endless discussion of this ridiculous subject that I'm not reading the article that was posted. All I'll add is the people whining about this stuff (like Kenny Wallace) have completely lost their credibility in my eyes.

My question is who in the Sam h3'll are they gonna blame next? The Fed Ex driver or the ups driver? Or maybe the Gynecologist or the rectal Dr maybe? They always want to blame social media for their own downfalls when if they would just listen to the driver's and the fans and fix some of the problems that exist to bring a better product then we wouldn't have all these social media threads popping up all the time..... Just my opinion.... Not that it means much...
