and people like you are the reason why people dont come back! You guys dont care to listen why the man wont come back, you just want to go on and on about telling him how hes wrong and once again the "If you dont like it, find something else" attitude comes up. It amazes me how you guys dont care about why hes mad but you have to post 5 times in the thread commenting on him!

Sure tried of you tool. This is all about fun in this class. Maybe you could come and talk to me sometime and see my personality. Fun is what Gabe and I do. If you want to take it as cocky, sorry. You don't know me. Many people love the goofing off in the circle, never thought I would have to come up with so many new dances to tryout, the kids love it.

It was maybe a little funny the first time but nahhh

[darlene deewayne]

Well then witness 23 you and I must be neighbors then because I too live about 3 miles from the track. I can assure you that it rained well past 11 at the track. Afternoon rain might not have been strong but it was a steady drizzle.....if you don't believe me ask Keeler, the 39 truck and the 6p truck as they were leaving the track at around that time after camping out all night. I just drove past the track again and everything was locked up but the kart track was really wet and soggy and it's normally very dry and hard.

Yes the sun is out now and whether it was an early call or not it was a call that our promoter made and we should support that. Everyone will never be pleased 100% of the time but he sure makes a great effort to. I'm sure that once things turn around in the economy we'll see 360's, stocks and possibly other shows added.....just give it a year.....we're not giving up!

wow i didnt know there was a 39 truck. he musta been a new one. too bad they cancelled, maybe he could get a top 3.

Who are you guys? I am saying if your mad at Dean tell him I dont care to read it when I am reading about a rain out It is really getting boring

what i want to know is which one of deans kids you are. you jumped on pitgate last year to run your mouth about millstream when the roes decided to have fremont help them and not your daddy.

No that's not it at all. "slidejobmaster" is a one poster and is hiding under a screen name just to take pop shots and that's not going to advance anyone. We've (WRP) tried all routes to make people happy and we just hope that the true racers understand. It's not about the low car count last night, it's not about kneejerk reactions, it's not about who's the track spokesperson or it's not about mending fences. What we try to offer is a fair and bargain racing facility that gets people home early when they show up and to have seen a good show. Sure there are bumps in the road and there will continue to be bumps.

All I ask is that people understand that at some point a decision has to be made and it was Dean's decision that we wouldn't have enought time to get the track dialed in for a safe and pleasurable racing event for the drivers or fans. Besides that it's now 12:55 PM and it's still raining here. That's at least 3 straight hours of steady rain in Waynesfield.

In no way am I saying that we wouldn't like to have slidejobmaster at the track, all I'm saying is please don't make unjustified comments to a race promoter that works his tail off trying ot make you happy. He needs to think about more than just the racers being able to get on the track and turn laps......there's safety, media, long distance racers, fans, equipment, time, advertisers and weather. Tonight we're still not out of the woods for pop up thundershowers. I appreciate your love for racing Roger but I'm sure you understand the amount of work to prepare a track and it doesn't happen in a couple of hours like Nascar deos drying the track off. Generally we start prepping the track at 6:00am on raceday and it takes riught up until hot laps.......and that's if we had pre-prepped it earlier in the week. Now you throw in the fact that we raced last night and then need to start from scratch......just not enough time since we lost the 3 hours pluss due to rain.

It's the only call......... We'llk have more races and they will be very exciting! We have plans on running well into September so please keep supporting us and we'll do our best to please everyone!

Dan: This is a better post from you.

Keep in mind, if the poster gets to telling stories to their friends, they will surely include 'Yeah, and that guy that works the pit gate at WRP told me -blah blah blah-'. You can doubt me all you want, however, you are a rep for the track (even if unofficial) so explaining the situation, and being respectful, is a far better option that insulting the poster, and possibly several other people.

WRP, it's workers, and 'speakers' need to display professionalism at all times.

witness 23: I don't know if you are strictly stirring the pot, or are seriously confused.

It doesn't matter if you live across the road from the track, or 2 hours away.....if the track is flooded, then the track is flooded... If you think everybody is BSing you, why didn't you take a short drive and see for yourself.

I have been to WRP MANY times this year. On one of the nights the 360 winged sprints were there, and one of the nights the non-wing cars were there, it was barely dusty. One night the track was a little rough. However those times wasn't worth mentioning, because it was minimal, and the track crew did work on it all night.......unlike other tracks that make no attempt to correct the situation.

The rest of the nights have been darn near perfect. I personally thanked Dean for a great track, and a great night of racing, after one of the nights when he came out of the press box, and down the steps as we were leaving.

Everybody has the right to their opinion.

Some are justified, some are a little strange, and some seem like the poster has been drinking pretty heavily before getting on the internet..........


I was pretty disappointed that WRP got rained out this week. I was going to be bringing two of my lifelong friends, and their family's (they were going to be following me to the track). The youngsters were really excited about going, and I'm sure everybody would have had a great time.

We are going to try again in a couple of weeks, and possibly bring along another family or two.

. I must admit even with the bad night of the allstars, after they brought out the grader i dont think i have watched a bad night of racing. Every show has been done in good time. With as wet as the track was friday night, i kept my fingers crossed that we wouldnt have another night like the allstars. But it turned out to be a great night of racing. I dont think any one can complain about not getting their moneys worth this yr.

What a bunch of crybabies. Have you considered the alternative? At least you have the track to bitch about, for now. You may be a lot closer to the alternative than you think.

[dirt queen]

what i want to know is which one of deans kids you are. you jumped on pitgate last year to run your mouth about millstream when the roes decided to have fremont help them and not your daddy.

You have that all wrong or maybe you are just confused And by the way is this Deewayne or Darlene

Needforspeed Keep in mind, if the poster gets to telling stories to their friends, they will surely include 'Yeah, and that guy that works the pit gate at WRP told me -blah blah blah-'. You can doubt me all you want, however, you are a rep for the track (even if unofficial) so explaining the situation, and being respectful, is a far better option that insulting the poster, and possibly several other people If you are talking about me im only standing up for what i feel is a track that can provide the fans some great racing. Im donating my time so people can walk freely to the stands to be with their family and friends between when they are racing or working on their cars. if some dont agree with what i have to say i dont really care i love the sport of racing and love talking to the people as they pass thru the gate. I have met a lot a nice people for the last 3 yrs and some i dont think you could please them if you gave them money to just show up to watch the races. If your not talking about me sorry for looking at it the wrong way. But if some one has a problem with some thing at the track i think that should be taken to Dean and not doing it on here. I think all of us have one thing in common and that is to race or just as being a fan.

I have talked with you before and you are the "TOOL" the kids don't like it and neither do the adults

Great then let me Know who you are, or keep hiding in screen name.

[Need for Speed]

Skip: I was not making any direct references to you with that post.

However, the same principal hold true. You 'work' at WRP, so in a way, you are a representative of the track.

I understand that you like what you do, and human nature is to defend what you like.............

But, doing it blindly, or insulting people when you are doing it, is wrong.

In my thread on the Limaland board, I made comments that pertained to the sprint feature. I wondered why the person operating the water truck, only watered what was essentially the wall, and I also made comments about what I believed to be an excessive amount of dust in the stands after the sprint feature, due to not watering the top 1/2 of the race track.... Those comments were based on MY personal beliefs and observations. Such as: the amount of dust/dirt that was in the air, what had landed on the seats, me, my kids, my dad, and others around me, the fact that during the race I couldn't look towards turn 4 beyond the flag stand because of the sandblast effect, the fact that it 'didn't used to be like that', etc, etc, etc.

I was immediately and repeatedly attacked....at times by people who were not even there that night I never said LMP sucked, the racing sucked, or anything like that, but still, several folks felt the need to jump me.

Classic example of blind defense of LMP.

I have had no reason to complain about WRP.

As somebody that has been around this game a while, I honestly believe that Waynesfield is a great place to watch great racing. And I truly do not understand why the grandstands are not overflowing each week. I try to bring long time race fan that haven't been to WRP (for whatever reason), and people that are new to racing, to WRP each week. And by bringing my kids, I'm trying to keep the fan base coming for the future. After that sprint feature at LMP, my kids told me "Dad, we don't like this place...it's too dirty, can we just go to Waynesfield" At WMP my kids have a blast picking who they think are going to win. They get my dad, my sister, my aunt, my cousin, and me in on it too.

Like I said earlier in this thread (and in another thread a while back), I personally thanked Dean this year for a great night of racing. While I was talking to him, I also thanked him for the speed of the program, the kids under 10 getting in for free, and the minimal to no dust at all.

Tracks need to accept the positive comments, and the negative comments. True you can't please everyone, but you can quite possibly learn something from everyone.

Well, they fed you false info. Jeff didnt race at Oakshade.

[skip]

I fiqured Jeff was at home he was emailing me . Need for speed i have no beef with you, There was no bigger critic of LMP racing surface a few yrs ago than me. Some wouldnt even talk to me even a friend who is a offcial that i worked with for yrs . I have become big friends with Gene the track prep man. No one feels more bad about it when its dusty or ruts up. He talks almost every week about what the track will do. He gets drivers telling him water it , and some get mad when he does. Every yr he has been trying to work more clay into the track. Every one knows lmp dirt is sandy like. He has said that he has more clay to work in at the end of the yr. Its just my personnel thing to see a track like you didnt like, than to have it all rutty and tearing up cars and drivers getting hurt. Lima did a few yrs ago they ran some afternoon shows, cant remember if Dean had them or who but it was a dust storm. Im a number fan of lima for yrs thru the good and the bad since 1962. I dont have the money to go far but did see a lot of eldora, findlay and a little of breman. I did see a lot of usac sunday afternoon shows at eldora. I loved usac of the 60,s until i saw Rutherford go upside down over the wall and was very lucky. I tend to run my mouth some times and make people mad , and some of the people at lima know that when ive made a A** of myself i have told them im sorry. So thats just me, Any one who knows me will tell you that. I just hope we have a good Doty,
