Last Nites Racing

Guest · 2008-06-08T10:19:01Z

Well last nite was definetly a full schedule with lots to get done. Given that, and some may disagree, some things happening at the track didn't impress me at all. Time to get it together guys. I know its a learning curve for the new owners, and for the most part, great job being done, but some things just don't sit right...First of in the Chargers, what was up with the cars being allowed to run with a very large piece of debree on the track, get with it guys, this is dangerous for the drivers. The officials knew it was there, but when it was pointed out by someone, it was, well we will get it when the race is over. The caution should have been called and the debree removed. he attitude was keep the show moving no matter what, that should not be what comes first, keeping the the show moving so that they can get everything in. Safety comes first for our drivers. No matter what division is on that track, every driver safety should come before anything else, including the show. Then lets see, I know it was a full schedule with the spotlight being on the late models, but to say to your three other divisions, run your feature in X number of minutes or we call it, doesn't seem fair for them. In those last couple of laps a lot can change with respect who will take the checkered. I have seen so much happen in the last lap that changes the whole outcome in a heartbeat. I heard that the attitude is that it's the late models that bring in the fans, not the 4 cyl. or the Thunders. Well I disagree, those other divisions are just a important as the late models. Not every fan in the stands is there for the late models, and don't get me wrong, I take nothing away from them, I love watching them, and I have my favorites. Many of the drivers in the other divisions came ready for the autograph session, then found out it was for the late models only. The schedule is very confusing. If it was just for the late models, then the information on the schedule needs to reflect that. All it says is " Drivers autograph session" Again I won't take away from the late models, but I am sure there would have been a lot more fans down on the track had all divisions been involved. Please update the schedule to reflect which division should come prepared for autographs. And what is this, people walking around with beer through the stands. I like a cold beer just as much as the next person, however given that, having beer in the stands is UNDERAGE DRINKING JUST WAITING TO HAPPEN. If you have minors in the stands, the drinking should be kept to an area where it can be regulated properly. Please, don't anyone come on here and tell me it won't happen cause it will. I was underage at one time and it does happen, I raised kids and it does happen. Put the beer back in the beer garden where it belongs, for the safety of all spectators. Oh yea, whats with the gravy and fries. The gravy is like soup, it's suppose to stay on the fries, not on the bottom of the container. I love BSW, I love watching all 4 divisions, but get it together guys or we may start seeing some of our drivers leaving. I have heard that from a few in the pitts, that if things don't change they will leave. The track needs listen to the drivers and the fans both. Fans pay the bills, and drivers bring in the fans. Other then that great racing last nite..........forgot one more point, with a schedule so full last nite, the racing should have started a whole lot earlier... not at the regular time....

Well Lick-it, actually I was just voicing an opinion, not bitching, really... Stop by our pit anytime and introduce yourself, most know who I am, I will be glad to show you the difference between voicing an opinion and bitching....

how about the clean-up crew taking 2 thunder cars off the track, when they couldn't start their cars, and leaving them in corner 1&2! i wasnt to impressed about having to push one car back and then going back to push the other one back. now i know i didnt have to push the first one back but i was acting the way my dad always tought me to help anyone. then i had to push dads car back, its quite ridiculous that the crews have to push the cars instead of that buggy thing or the tow trucks.

WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO RESPECT!!!!!!!!!!!! All i see is alot of no talent, no patience and just fast enough to be a menace, maniacs out there. If your car is handling like crap use your gas and brakes to control it.Anybody can show that they have big nards and pile it into the corner like a scud missile, but it takes a driver to keep in your lane and not scrap the guy beside or in front of you. Most guys can race side by side and not touch each other, but then there's the few, and for those who drive with the front bumper, if i may; " THOSE WHO LIVE BY THE BUMPER, DIE BY THE BUMPER" ( and i don't mean really die, it's just a saying)

Ok Mr Dixon 27''This is the way I see it as a regular at BSW I have grown to love the track!!!,,BUT'' The way I see it the BSW Crew Is suppose to be the Back bone of the Track.,,,I have spoken to the New Owners and met them They seem to be very nice !!!,,It would make good Business sence to have a Staff Meeting witch they did I might add,Now if the track Crew know there jobs Witch is the same track Crew AS Brad Moran and Steve St.onge had There should be 'No Excuse' That The Officals ''per say''should know what to do''DUH''yes I agree to you that they should pull up their socks I said this before they have the technoligy and tools to do their jobs and know it well,all the Owners have to do is sit back and watch and take in the Coin But then again JUST MY OPINION''...
