Muddslinger41 Posted December 12, 2003 Report Share Posted December 12, 2003 I have only heard of Owen at the TAMS races at THS and think he really has no choice but to be fair at the Corpus track ,if not it would look really bad for the TAMS class. If he is not fair at one series then the other would suffer too. As far as the new "Era" of CC Speedway I will come watch and see if it is better or worse. The Yocums made their mistakes at first then seen to correct them. The car count has grown over the last few seasons and anyone who would do anything to change that would be stupid. But hey everyone has a learning curve. [Comment edited out by Nick Holt, 12/14/03] Time will only tell . Good luck Mudd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slysnake Posted December 13, 2003 Report Share Posted December 13, 2003 Well, I am going to be out there, minding my own business, concentrating on winning some races... We all need to give it a try, who knows, it might just what the doctor ordered (no pun intended). We will never know till the season starts and we get in it.

poorboy Posted December 13, 2003 Report Share Posted December 13, 2003 I know for a fact that Owen will be fair and will do the best that can be done in most situations. I see nothing bad at all from Owen running the operations at CC. We are freinds and he will definitely diqualify me for cheating, that is if he can catch me. LOL.

NickHolt Posted December 14, 2003 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2003 I have deleted a couple of posts in this thread regarding a punching incident at CC Speedway this past season. This forum is not a place to bash other drivers or justify fights in the pits by bashing the punched out driver (punchee?). Any further posts bashing drivers involved in this unfortunate CC Speedway incident will likewise be removed. Thanks for your understanding.

TX_Trouble Posted January 7, 2004 Report Share Posted January 7, 2004 I just hope it is, as you say, a "new era". Let's start with some clean driving and keep it up with limiting "teamwork" situation. I am a very outspoken person and I sometimes speak a little too much(ok, a lot of the time), but I would love nothing more than to have clean, fun racing at this track. There's no reason for a few bad apples to ruin the fun for everyone else. That's all I had to say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire Racer Posted January 8, 2004 Report Share Posted January 8, 2004 Has anyone heard whether or not Freddie and the fire crew will be back for this comming racing season. No one has talked to him or any of the others in the crew at all. Is Owen going to use the same guys he had at Saratoga, or will Freddie and the guys be back???

poorboy Posted January 8, 2004 Report Share Posted January 8, 2004 Owen didn't run Saratoga, I sure hope Freddy and his crew are there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loose Lugs Posted January 8, 2004 Report Share Posted January 8, 2004 Freddie has a lot of experience and they are a great group. I also think it would be a mistake to not have them back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire Racer Posted January 8, 2004 Report Share Posted January 8, 2004 To Loose Lugs: I agree that Freddie & the guys should be back this season. They have been doing it for many years as it is. They are just wondering, as I'm sure others are too. I guess they'll have to wait for the drivers meeting to find anything out like the rest of us.

NickHolt Posted January 8, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2004 I'm sure Owen has a lot of things to take care of between now and the start of the season and hiring the safety and fire crew certainly must be on his list. Owen's phone number is no secret, so if potential CC Speedway service providers and vendors need to talk to him all they have to do is pick up the phone...

TX_Trouble Posted January 22, 2004 Report Share Posted January 22, 2004 btw the new name is corpus christi motor speedway Why fix something that isn't broken and ruin a landmark of racing history? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickHolt Posted January 22, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2004 TX_Trouble, Why fix something that isn't broken and ruin a landmark of racing history? There are several good reasons to change the name of a business after new ownership takes over. These reasons may involve tax issues and other legal issues. You will note that the only thing that changed was the addition of the word "Motor." San Antonio Speedway has been called Highway 16 Raceway, San Antonio Raceway, San Antonio International Speedway and San Antonio Speedway under various track owners if my memory serves.

fastowner Posted January 22, 2004 Report Share Posted January 22, 2004 Nick you hit the nail on the head. The name was something we had to change. We really feel there is some great tradition in the CC Speedway name so we tried not to get to far away from it. Thus CC motor Speedway, all of our logos and things will try to make the word motor less noticable and keep as much of the history as possible. Thanks guys.
