8G RACING FAMILY Posted April 23, 2009 Report Share Posted April 23, 2009 I looked through the "racing junk" posting and one of the two cars for sale was on there. All of the others were maybe within 200 miles but nearly all were at the edge. Only 1 car from anywhere closer than Austin. Like I said, there are no cars around this area parked and IMCA ready to use. I can name 4 right now 20 sbg 25 sbg 37 pittaway 99 rye GREG AND CANDACE HAS 2 MODS RANDY YOUNT WOULD HAVE KEPT HIS TOGETHER HOW BOUT BOB W I BET CLEGG WOULDNT BE SELLING HIS CAR HOW BOUT THOSE POINTS GUYS ON A RAIN OUT I COULD GO ON AND ON ITS ABOUT GETTING CARS TO COME ON A WEEKLY BASIS NOT OH HERE I COME I GOT IT TOGTHER OR I GOT THE DAY OFF INSTEAD U HAVE THOSE THAT WILL BE THERE ONE WEEK AND NOT THE OTHER THE FANS WONT JUST COME SEE IF THERE R ANY MODS THEY JUST WONT COME JMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldguy Posted April 23, 2009 Report Share Posted April 23, 2009 Greg, That is the whole point. The cars that existed didn't come, including me. The reason is yet to be shown but outlaw doesn't change it and neither does IMCA. Money is the issue with me and it hasn't changed much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rebelracewriter Posted April 23, 2009 Report Share Posted April 23, 2009 Then maybe you're in the wrong sport George????? Or....perhaps if you spent as much time on car's set-up as you do on the internet bitching about money, you could finish high enough to break even????? Your/Tracy's car was a proven winner when Geiber owned it!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldguy Posted April 23, 2009 Report Share Posted April 23, 2009 In case you didn't notice, I didn't write on the internet when I wasn't racing or didn't intend to. I bitch about money because it matters. I don't see you racing anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

8G RACING FAMILY Posted April 23, 2009 Report Share Posted April 23, 2009 ANYWAYS I THOUGHT U AND SOME OTHERS WERE GOING TO START RACING AT HILL COUNTRY WITH SOME OLDER CARS SO WHY R U TALKING ABOUT RACING AT I-37 WHEN ITS PEOPLE THAT TALK AND DONT SHOW UP IS WHY I-37 IS HAVING TROUBLE I THINK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rebelracewriter Posted April 23, 2009 Report Share Posted April 23, 2009 I don't see you racing anything But I don't own any racecars either....nor do I bitch about trying to make money racing......It's a hobby, not employment. Depending on track/payout I'd venture a guess that anyone from about 4th place back loses money every night. So I don't get your point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldguy Posted April 23, 2009 Report Share Posted April 23, 2009 Greg, I do plan to race at hill country and I-37 as long as it doesn't cost too much. Reb, you can't make money even winning but you can pay expenses for the night by finishing 2nd. I will never spend what it takes to win with the current engines used, outlaw or IMCA. I don't bitch about money as much as you and Greg bitch about not going IMCA. A car count can't depend on cars traveling from another track and you can't get new local cars for free. Untill the advent of IMCA the tracks paid better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woodwayracing18 Posted April 23, 2009 Report Share Posted April 23, 2009 Old guy if you want to race then load the car and go. The money isnt going to get any better and HCR damn sure aint going to pay anything better than I-37 Does so load up go racing or shut up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldguy Posted April 23, 2009 Report Share Posted April 23, 2009 Reb, did it hurt when you fell off that turnip truck? I do know what it used to cost me. HCR is much closer to me so I can race much cheaper. I don't have any ideas of starting any new class, there aren't old cars around. That is Yankee's thought. HCR does need you to race even with your mountain motor. Spectator's mean more than me winning always. Next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texaswicked Posted April 24, 2009 Report Share Posted April 24, 2009 imca will be dead and gone in a few years for all classes in south texas and probly all of texas..... imca isnt gonna bring anymore cars to the track.. maybe one or two but you will lose one or two thats just how it is.... everyone can cry all they want but it doesnt matter... money matters... pay less to race with a bigger chance at winning more money... just like a casino... payouts are good people dump money in to it.... and when racers start bringing cars for CONSISTANT big pots then the fans will see more cars at track with more action then more fans will come(with right PR guy).... simple as that, you can argue all day but thats the way it is... as for other tracks with mediokra payouts that do good because lots of local racers live in area, also a good promoter, and consistant racing....AND THATS THE REST OF THE STORY...

AARC67 Posted April 24, 2009 Report Share Posted April 24, 2009 I personally think if you want to make big money racing,you need to know your role and know the class your best suited for. There are some people that race in the bigger classes that can't handle a wheel,and some racers in the beginner classes that should be racing a higher class. I obviously am not a promoter ,genious ,or track specialist,but I love racing and like seeing a racer earn his win with a good unpredictable race. Maybe charge the lower classes a few less dollars and the uppers a bit more to earn their keep. There are alot of racers that (believe it or not)race because it cost the same to race in each class with better bragging rights that they race in an upper class. The motors vary in price I know but there some that don't care. The gate has to make money. You may deter less fortunate drivers from moving up,but if you love it enough and are good enough you should have less of a problem finding monetary aid.In a perfect class(in a perfect world) a talented driversclass is more fun to watch that any existing class. Again,these are just opinions. If it all stayed the same and the griping remained the same, I would still be the same diehard fan I will always be. My opinions are not solutions,but strictly poor guidelines to make racers and promoters raise an eyebrow. If I left my discussion open for rebuttle, I am sorry that wasn't my intention. I just wan't every track and racer earn his money. Keep on racing ,I'll be happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RBSF Posted April 24, 2009 Report Share Posted April 24, 2009 You bring up an interesting point, buck....When did we start getting all politically correct out here in the west? I mean like we don't need to go all John Wayne, but I hate dancin' around with diplomacy. If it's wrong-fix it. If it's illegal-don't do it. If you say you're gonna do something-do it.
