    The problem is the guy who is so insecure that he has to drop someone for trash talking.   Trash talking never hurt anyone.  Where does the violence stop?  If a small guy gets dropped, does he get a jack handle?  A gun?  Run over him with a car?   The sanctioning body needs to mandate that these guys get help with managing their anger.

    Stay in your own pit stall, or stfu. Or, stand behind what you say and where you say it. 

  2. There is a problem in this country right now, largely due to social media, where people think they can say anything they want, and there not be any ramifications from it. If you don't want to run the risk of getting dropped, then stfu. Or man up and stand behind what you say, and if that gets you dropped, so be it.

    Like the tech guy that said    I am the rules and you are DQ'd.

     

    Yes, pretty much. But I think I could deal with the days of the iron fist better than I can with all the nonsense they do these days in there officiating.

  4. NASCAR management has never been consistent in any of there officiating. They have and always will do what they want, when they want, and how they want. And I find that to be very unfortunate. That’s why all of us on here have no access to the rule book.

    What was the car count?

     

    Arob there is still some work to do with the car count. But it was better than I expected. Trucks was the biggest class with I think 16 started. Modifieds had 10-12 start. and about the same for the rest of the classes. Naskarts had 6 start I believe. 

    With all the volatility and uncertaintly over the last couple of years its hard to know how many cars are still out there or how many just gave up. From what I saw Saturday night, things look very promising. If they can develop some consistancy it should draw some more cars. Couple more races to go this year yet to hopefully finish strong, and give racers a good feeling that they can sink some money into a car and still have a place to race it. 

     

    But the fans have to do there part as well.

    As someone who grew up with TMS, we stole that from Wilksboro.  TMS didn't stay full, the All Star Race is for the NASCAR community and teams, they're based out of Charlotte, I 110% support this move.  

    With that said, a fall playoff race at TMS will be fun.  If you have the means, support it!

    I will be in Ft. Worth for this race. Hope the weather is good. I will leave Ft. Worth and make my way to Talladega for the following race there. When I leave FT. Worth I will be going to Searcy Arkansas to get some work done to my motorhome. It is very close to Batesville, so we are going to run up to Batesville to Mark Martins museum he has at his Ford dealership up there. Looking forward to that. He is one of my favorites. 

  7. Mike,

    Thank you for your reply. And I am sure the start up of this operation has been a big undertaking. 

    Big crowd on Saturday. I can tell you from this fans perspective it went off pretty well for a new group coming in. When traffic got backed up at the gate and congested the main road, they came out and opened up a 3rd lane and ticket window. 

     

    I think I heard the conssesion stands got wiped out, but that is a good problem to have and an easy one to fix. I didn't run out of beer as I buy enough early on to carry me through the night. 

    It was a very good night at the races and thank you to all who have invested the money and time to bring it back to us.

  8. Nick, what is the chances of the top 3 being DQ'ed under this rule? Seems like they may have been team cars? I know that Luza had them covered up in the 5 car. But the win went to Clayton Green who crossed the line in 4th. 

     

    Arob, i'm not sure where they would post the winners. Maybe on there facebook page? They did have a big crowd, that was nice to see.

    Over 40 cars practice tonight (Friday).

    I count 13 truck and 12 modifieds.

    Come out tomorrow and support asphalt racing. We'll be a very great night of asphalt racing.

    Steve thank you for the update on the track activities tonight. I’ll be paying at the gate and beer stand tomorrow night. It’s been long enough since we have been able to attend some racing at HMP.

    rails, good point. I'm one of those people that avoids facebook and I get all my racing info from this site. I came on here yesterday to see if the race was still on since I had not seen anything posted recently. I hope they have a big crowd and this series is a success. And thanks to Nick and sponsors of this site for keeping it going for folks like me.

    Turn5, it just confuses me that the marketing people, or whoever they pay to get the message out, wouldn’t utilize this forum as a avenue to get there message out.
