nellie88 Posted August 31, 2007 Report Share Posted August 31, 2007 I don't know if I am just speaking for me or for others, but, I have been racing only 8 years there and I have tried sooooo hard to make each year better, one year I had a crew chef and A person who helped me and themselves to do better and better. Then another year I was alone tiring to do it and make it, then, bought help for over 7 motors, then, almost gave up, then I tried again with 2 cars (thunder and SS) then, (I sucked) This year I got it not 100% (racing): it is just not about a thing to do-- it is about my life. IT does distinguish who I am and what I believe--- and what I am about!!!!! (DEEP) (FACT) , I got it----- I tried and tired.. I had a mess when I destroyed my car a few weeks ago. I understood so much when my crew chief worked 40 hrs or so----- and then worked 60 hrs or sooo at work,--- only, so I could race and keep my spot (2nd in points). Its not money (but it is nice) it is who you are> now; the last race before making 2nd in points it ends -- Worse! then hitting the wall or blowing 7 motors. All the work and life of me (besides every day responsibilities) was taken from me.. (Almost like death) but unknown death as know one will tell me (US) if it all mattered! I want that trophy- Silly NO it is a piece of me and everyone involved whom made my life WHOLE - (Why would someone take it away?) Maybe their not, But WE ALL DON'T KNOW THIS FOR THERE IS NO WORD OR A ENDING! Ok enough of that Please advise of the facts as everyone I am sure wants a conclusion.

HiTech Posted August 31, 2007 Report Share Posted August 31, 2007 don is trust worthy ..but can don trust what is being said to him if anything at all ..i dont think don should be the go between .. they had some managers and managed to loose them and so far just aboult any one else for that matter ..has not taken them long to find out just how tough it is to run a race track ..you cant do the racers wrong ..they are your life line ..i know she is sick and dont what her ill ..she has a second in command there and he wont speek ..so nelly all that can be said right now really is wait and see ....action is the only words that speek volume . anything else .is just blowing in the wind ..

hooliganz Posted August 31, 2007 Report Share Posted August 31, 2007 Funny story: Everybody wants to bitch and moan about dirt vs. asphalt. The race Gods must not like it much because nobody's getting to race now. Seems like maybe people sould worry about making thier cars better and not worry about everybody else. That's also why you don't see me on this stupid computer all the time. HOPE ALL RACERS HAVE A GREAT HOLIDAY WEEKEND. HOOLIGAN FOR LIFE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Racer26 Posted August 31, 2007 Report Share Posted August 31, 2007 Hooligan, The awesome thing about DIRT is that being as we are rained out I will head to McCallen. If it rains out then theres Edna...........and so on. Hell, Pleasanton runs tonight. Most dirt tracks also have the same rules or somewhat close. All IMCA divisions are the same rules. Where are you racing this weekend? Don't knock the dirt till you try it. I ran CCS for a few years but found dirt more appealing after only one night. You guys really need to think about your future if you plan to continue racing. Not knocking asphalt, just a reallity check so to speak. DIRT RACER FOR LIFE!

Racerette Posted August 31, 2007 Report Share Posted August 31, 2007 i didn't say anything asphalt vs dirt....i've gone to both this year.....i was just wondering what the big life emergency was with 88, she is not the only one wondering what is going on as has been stated 500 times on here already! like top dog said, go race TPS, get a life, or go race dirt. you have options. but from the few times i went to the asphalt track this year, i think the "crew chief" should get the trophy! now, there is no racing this weekend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
railer Posted August 31, 2007 Report Share Posted August 31, 2007 Im getting my car set-up for dirt now, will race where i can just go to race.

champ1796 Posted August 31, 2007 Report Share Posted August 31, 2007 I can certainly understand how it must feel to have been racing CC this year and past years, and now its all in limbo. Racing there has been a part of their " Life" , spending hours weekly getting their cars prepared, racing hard, dealing with accidents, part failure, etc. For many, Racing at CC has been a way of " Life " for years. I sure hope something is resolved so the racers can continue to race at the venue of their choice and a South Texas tradition can continue. Good Luck to all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bountyhunter Posted August 31, 2007 Report Share Posted August 31, 2007 im not totally sure what she meant but what i got out of it is she and her crew over the years have gotten better and better at racing at cc..... they had lots of ups and downs but she believes (and so do i) that her and her crew have worked dam hard to get the 2nd place in points for the year and is mad as hell because the track is in limbo and she wants to finish racing and recieve that trophy for the hard work they have put in for the years...... its not wether shes racing on asphalt or dirt its the fact they worked there ass off to earn something and they want it....... just my take Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tps48 Posted August 31, 2007 Report Share Posted August 31, 2007 Big life emergencies usually come from taking things for granted. San Antonio racers took SAS for granted, never saw the track closing coming. Now the same thing has happened in CC. As racers we should support the remaining tracks to keep their doors open. CC minis are always welcome with TPS or at STS. This will look like a small deal if more tracks can not keep the doors open and there is no place for anyone to race at. Quit crying over spilled milk and do whatever it takes to get your car, your buddies car or OT's cars to a race track. Get friends and family out to watch this week, not next week.
