South Texas Speedway Posted September 4, 2007 Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 As most of you know last week a fellow track owner disclosed information about South Texas Speedway and other tracks that was uncalled for and incorrect. Claims that STS will not be here next year are 100% incorrect, I have worked very hard to give South Texas a place to race and it will only get better. I think I have proven myself trustworthy as I have run the South Texas Mini-Sprints, Half owner and operator of TAMS, General Manager of CCMS, Business owner & promoter of STS and even when no cars have showed I always paid what I advertisied. Do I own the land at this point no, do I own the business operated on the land yes, I will not get on here and make false ownership claims. I can promise everyone that STS will be here next year. Please continue to build cars and plan on racing dirt in South Texas if that is your choice. Nick, this is not a bash in anyway, I have never commented on other tracks other than positive information, but another track operator made false accusations towards my track and now I am getting PM's that people will not be building cars because of those false accusations, I am trying to protect my interest. If anyone has any questions please call me anytime. Owen Pittman 361-548-0669 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rookie49 Posted September 4, 2007 Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 Owen, I haven't met you, but the fact that no one comes on this site complainin about you or the way you do business says all that needs to be said in your defense. Keep up the good work and maybe I can make it down to the tractor races some weekend. Johnny Sutton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hallracing2003 Posted September 5, 2007 Report Share Posted September 5, 2007 From down here in the Rio Grande Valley, I've been to STS several times to race my modified and hobby car, but of all those times I enjoyed watching the races far more due to the professionalism and great management this track has shown this last season. Just something about this track when I show up.. a big carnival atmosphere... the excitement of racing like I remember back when my dad raced asphalt up in Rockford, Illinois when I was 5 or 6 years old. Something I have not felt at any other track around here except this one. Just from the way things are handled on and off the track and the comments and nature of everyone who posts on here, you can tell the man has things under control and has done a more than fair job of taking care of his duties as track owner/promoter as well as making the drivers and fans feel appreciated. I don't know why, but I have not seen the level of dedication this track has put forth anywhere else in South Texas to date, either to come to the aid of a family in need, or to give something back to the fans and racers in the way of a big BBQ and cold beverages at the end of the night. Awesome job Owen! Hall Racing Team - RGS #96 Thunder car #96 Modified #34 Modified Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subway Posted September 5, 2007 Report Share Posted September 5, 2007 Owen I can't say it better than any of these other posts. But keep on keeping on [edited out by Nick Holt, 9/5/07] Keep up the good work and see ya staurday! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trackwidow Posted September 5, 2007 Report Share Posted September 5, 2007 The staff at STS under the direction of Owen this year has given the drivers a constant place to race. You know unless it rain's (30 days and 30 nights) you'll have races on Saturday night. The only thing I wish for is more time between races to go to the ladies room and get a coke....

spedfrk Posted September 5, 2007 Report Share Posted September 5, 2007 yes more time for the ladies....Any chance of starting a south texas chearleader group. I think girls in skimpy clothes jumping and yelling for their favorite driver (me of course) would be a great addition to the fans night at sts. Just an idea....If it works for football why not motorsports? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
