Shadybowl made a few announcements last night at their banquet that makes racing there a bit more inviting for us. The racing there starts the last Saturday of March with free test and tune the Wednesday before. They have test and tune every Wednesday which is good for getting the car ready. They are having 4 big paying races for compacts and Dippin Dots Ice Cream gave $4000 for the compacts drivers points fund for the end of the year. Charlie Stapleton also announced the plans for a dirt track to be built behind the pits and will be run on Friday nights maybe as soon as 2008. Winchester Speedway also has compacts on the schedule this year.

Do you guys have any cars for sale? How much does it cost to get in at Shadybowl now a days? 29 races is a lot! But I know they also cancel whenever they have rain forcasted also because he thinks he may not have a large crowd turnout =)

[compactracer]

What does everyone think about shadybowl? I think I agree with the people that say it is the laughing stock of all the race tracks in the area. I am suprised they are building a dirt track when they can't even run one.... What does everyone think?

[OGRE]

Let me give you one small example. They have had a bump or dip in turn #1 for over 15 years now and have never been able to get rid of it. They have been through 3 owners since the Scheerers sold it. The track was siezed by the US government over a tax and drug raid by one of the owners. Some people don't remember this but initially ShadyBowl used to be dirt....they had a track right where they are talking about putting one again! Don't get me wrong, there have been some awesome drivers race there.....Sceva, Dunlevy, Dean, Vallo and so on, but most of the good drivers always find better places to race because they aren't on the favorite list of the owners. The current owner of that track is the worst one of them all for showing favortism. If your not on his list then you might as well give it up because you're not going to get any breaks there. They charge $30 to get in the pits. The overall condition of the facility is pathetic. They have many fights in the pits there! That's why when some people talk about Limaland showing favortism I just laugh.....because Limaland is nothing like ShadyBowl! Limaland is 1,000 times more professional than the bowl. One last example.....my uncle Dennis raced there for a few years and he was winning quite regularly. There were a few officials that swore up and down he was using illegal tires, traction control and even fuel additives such as poly-propeline. Well he put a squash to all of those rumors by letting the officials go over his car with a fine tooth comb. They even brought in an Engineer from Hoosier tire to inspect his tires.......they found nothing! So all of the sudden half way in to the season they put in a claim rule for the tires. For $150 you could claim all four tires from the winner......you guessed it they claimed Dennis tires every week after he won. He kept turining down the claim because the tires were more expensive to buy than the $150 to claim them. So he put an offer out to the owner (Stapelton) to buy him a set of tires and he'll put them on his car....well he did and Dennis still won! Anyway.....my uncle sued the track over this because he never was paid a dime over the season......and the judge found that the track was at fault for singling out one person over a rule implimented in the middle of the year. My uncle won the suit and never raced there again....he moved on to Mansfield and continued to win until he retired after a broken neck........check ShadyBowls rules out now....you have to buy your tires straight from them! That place is a redneck heaven! I'm not downgrading anyone that runs there at all.....actually I feel sorry for them because they have to run there! I just wanted to run there one more time so that I could take some more of Charlie's money =)

[OGRE]

by the way compactracer.....what kind of stockcar are you guys selling? Are they with engines? Any specifics? How much are they? I'm always keeping my options open. Also.....Nate....how much you asking on the 4 car? You still interested in a truck?

[compactracer]

Deal, We were happy racing at Waynesfield but cannot race there anymore and we have 3 compacts that we need to race. Shadybowl may be a laughing stock but at least now they are going to pay compacts. You don't know anymore that Waynesfield is not the laughing stock. Noone knows what it is going to be like there. Do we! We are disppointed that we can't race there. We gotta go where we gotta go. Good luck to all in the 2007 season!

Dan, One car is a Camaro chassis. It was Parker Brown's car that he ran at Limaland. 9 inch rear end. Ready to race but the motor is nothing to brag about. $2500. Without motor $1500. The other is a Chevelle Chassis. Monte Carlo performance body. Race ready. No motor or rear end gear. 9 inch disc brakes. $1200. Mike Durflinger 937 593 0140

Hey guys, compact I agree that we don't know what waynsefield will be like. Who knows.... and Ogre I totally understand what you mean about favortism. My uncle use to race there a long time ago and won many many races there and they hated him, but that was also with different owners. I have heard many stories about charlie and how he won't listen to anyone's ideas. oh well, Anyone else have any input. I just thought it would be good to hear every one's opinions.
