Sunset Speedway With out fun for fun class

Guest · 2006-10-04T23:29:03Z

I was just informed of this site and from which i can see it looks amazing.I would like to comment on the 4 fun class at Sunset Speedway , First of all i think its a great way for people to race a car that is actually affordable. Even though most are rookies they do put on a good show , these cars start a field of approx. 30 cars in the feature , a track promoters dream . My hats off to you Glen !!!! Too bad for those who get suspended each and every night when there rubbing fenders !!!!! Rubbing is racing its in the big leagues we watch it on TV , these people are professionals , we are supposed to learn from them .....anyway for most that have never owned or raced a car before THEY should not be a participant at the track where they make decisions THAT EFFECT THE PEOPLE THAT PUT ON THE SHOW without knowing what exactly happened. My point being there would not be a hockey game without a referee . That referee would not be allowed to do his job without some form of training. The starter at Sunset needs some training that will help him get it right the first time. I have never in my life seen so many racers getting black flagged its ridiculous. Maybe he should use the black flag to start the race and then everyone can go home . Seems to me that when anytime you can watch 30 plus cars start a feature the fans are in for a REAL RACING TREAT. Way to go 4 fun drivers you all deserved better , you guys deserve a raise , maybe if your car goes with no scratches you get a 50.oo dollar bonus for being the most boring race car driver of the night . On a last note of this i was told that rubbing is not racing at Sunset for the 4 fun class probably because its just for fun ....... hmmmm fun !!!!!!! Okay a guy or a lady have worked on there car all week , its now Saturday RACE DAY have to wash car , get car onto the trailer , get fuel for the car , load the truck with any parts and oh yes stop by the bank you need entrance money and oh yes money for food and drinks .... basically Saturday is a write off for doing most chores around the house and now the time has come to head off to the track for some fun !!!!!!!!! This is where the fun begins , you pull up to the pit gate sign your life away and pay your money , i figure 60.00 dollars on average after all you have some pit crew members or a boy/girlfriend , husband/wife I'm sure you get my drift , you go out for some practice have your heats and everything is going awesome , now you are in the 30 car field feature and whats this your being black flagged for rough driving but wait a minute i didn't do anything , the starter responds with too bad i have 3 other officials that saw you do it...... there is no damage to my car not even a scratch , the starter replies too bad PARK IT YOUR DONE FOR THE NIGHT ....... IS THIS WHAT YOU CALL FUN ....... no points , no pay out ....oops yeah pay out of your pocket.Is there anyone out there that agrees with me on where is the fun in the 4 fun class ????????

I worked at Sunset for many many years and I left because there were tooo many people wearing headsets and making calls. I had 20 years experience handicapping and scoring and was not able to make a call. Even if it happened right in front of me, yet some yahoo would wear a radio one night and think they knew it all. I can understand where the drivers are coming from. Don't get me wrong I loved the work but hated the politics. And no matter what track there is politics.

Hey its good to see that you have finally been able to speak your peice of mind. It is hard voice your opinion or issues especially at the end of a stressful night of racing whereas at least on this site we are able to hear both sides of the story. I had noticed before I had registered to this site a previous forum which was deleted and there was a number of people who recognized the uncalled for black flags that you accumulated over the course of the season in which was a result of the another drivers actions. It's too bad for someone such as yourself with the talent and passion for this sport to have someone who is far too competitive and at one time was your friend create so much stress and damage in one night. As i have noticed there was a comment that "however I didn't realize your car was illegal" well I am sure we should all be aware that tech would have found if your car was illegal or not and if the fact that specific cars were grandfathered in that class, that would be irrelavent as you have no control that the rules had change. If your car would have been too much of a problem I am sure you would have been notified and you wouldn't have run the car at all this year. Congradulations on your great season and well earned checkered flags. Hopefully Barrie Speedway will have the chance to see you run there next year.
