barrie speedway the biggest joke on asphalt

Guest · 2008-07-20T04:00:49Z

Ahhhh where to start! lets start with Thundercar drivers meeting. Few points of interest. First off the track is more concerned with making sure the drivers know who to thank at the end of the night and how the cars look on T.V then they are about rules and keeping the driver happy. Who really cares who the sponsor is at the end of the night after you just won the feature? i don't know about anyone else but i think the ones on the car that are paying OUR bills are the ones that need to be thanked.Then we have how they spring on us( the thunders) that we are not racing on the 26th , why? Ontario sportsman crap? i guess they paid the new owners a piss pot full of money to bring their show in or they can't figure out how to run a show with that many cars in the pit area. but like a bunch of good little boys we all stand there and NO ONE (my self included) says a word. do you think for one second that we don't have lives outside of this? kinda hard to plan anything when you hear the week before you've been bumped by the all mighty dollar!Some one said it out here before, watch how you treat your bread and butter the guys that come out here week in and week out. We've been bumped for the 21 car show CASCAR and now these Sportsmen. Good job guys way earn the respect of the HOME TRACK drivers! Then we have the questions and answers or lack there of. How Dave Doucette didn't lose his mind is beyond me, When the tough questions are ask its seems these clowns go into some sorts of mind lockdown. They are really good at the BLANK stare. I think the blank part is just ignorance on the owners side. They are Business men they have no clue how to run a speedway. its not for the love of the sport its about making the payment on that fancy viper! Am i just a whiner? maybe! Maybe we all are. but when 75% of the people you talk to through out the pits are not happy wow something has to give! the race itself was a joke too! how long does it take to get tow trucks moving? when has it become OK to wait for a lap then drive into another car under caution and try and take that car out? Then no blackflag no warning, just carry on! guess the joke is on us, we keep coming back, we come back every week to their the over priced raw shitty food,come back to The OPP dumping out our beer, come back to the lack of consistency on rules and how they are enforced, come back to the Blank stares. Well i heard some people may not be back. I heard one of the long time sponsors not only of the track but of many many cars may not be back. Its so bad they want their sign taken down due to the embarrassment of the show! These guys really need to get their heads out of their asses. Everyone knew going into this year that there were going to be growing pains but wow, when sponsors want out! thats not good! About the only good thing to happen this year was the switch of flagmen. i am not saying i agree with the calls. The 38 and the 2 in the Thunder race was wrong! the 9 and 10 in the late model race wrong again! but the yellow and the green and white seem to be use correctly now. I just thought i would vent , it was a long drive home with a bent car. we may not be back, i guess the joke is on us!

Committee- .1archaic : a person to whom a charge or trust is committed
2 a: a body of persons delegated to consider, investigate, take action on, or report on some matter; especially : a group of fellow legislators chosen by a legislative body to give consideration to legislative matters b: a self-constituted organization for the promotion of a common object

Labour union- an organization of workers formed for the purpose of advancing its members' interests in respect to wages, benefits, and working conditions

The committee is more of a mediator for the Drivers and The Owners to work together. A liason if you will that would present OPPORTUNITIES to the owners FOR IMPROVEMENT and the result would be the drivers would be heard. Ultimately improving the atmosphere for everyone involved...

Ok Dave, Next weekend we have to get together and see if we can get this committee off the ground once and for all. Anyone interested in helping us get this off the ground, please PM me to let me know who you are, any drivers from BSW who would be interested in representing a division please PM me and let me know as well.

Truth is if you keep up this committee/ union/complaining B/S the owners of Barrie will go to the second phase of there Dave Doucette policy (which part of you are not welcome do you not understand).
Belesky If you and all the complaining members on this forum were singled out (l'm sure its being done) and then they were simply told hey we are very sorry that you are so unhappy and disatisfied and it would be best for both of us if you no longer attend Barrie Speedway anymore. Do the same at Sunset with all the complaining malcontents they have and its game over,no more complaining,no more unions no more B/S.Its true its true.
