who cares???? I know it bugs the crap out of me that my 25 bucks a week went to buy a pretty new hauler for the college kids to goof off with. Instead of using our money to you know maybe invite a couple new classes to the race track every once in a while. I mean heck the 410s put on amazing shows at limaland all the time why couldnt they run a couple more all star and outlaw shows?????? On another note since they have such big haulers i think they should also get someone who knows how to drive them because whoever they got driving them haulers just does not know how to drive period.

Just sounds like some sour grapes. Look at George Fisher what he pulled Dale Blaneys car around in last yr. Its not what you pull your car around in that counts its what you roll out of it. Those haulers are proably bought with those kids school fees and not what you pay to get into the races. What makes me mad is the paper bag they put my popcorn in that is bad. Its just to fancy for popcorn.

Haulers were donated. I just hope the students that are on the race team now appreciate what they have. Its a wonderful opportunity. Take advantage of it. And to skip... Todd Sherman once joked with Jeff Babcock after Jeff had won, "You can't win. You have an open trailer." Jeremy Vogel

Back in the 60,s it was almost the same. There were 3 racers from kalida,called themself the kalida boys. They came to the track with a flatbed semi and trailer and on the back were 3 racecars. Rosco Fickel, Bob Gurney and Allan Dollar. Allan Dollar was one of the guys ahead of their times he had a truck that he raced along with 2 other guys.Thanks for setting me straight double checkers. What people will complain about. I think the toilet paper at the track is way to soft.

I'm all about complaining about people that can't drive, but complaining about their tow vehicle is a little bit to far. I guess that I need to complain about the food being to good, I think I spend like $15 on it everytime I go.

:blink: I think it's funny that everyone thinks the college drivers get to go "practice" their driving skills whenever they want. I live near the track and I dont see them out there practicing. I'm not getting dust from there through the week, I think everyone should drive out to Limaland a few times every day so they can see what's going on.... It's not practicing...Unless the school has them practicing in the grader and the tractor... And if they are... I say keep it up, the track has been awesome!!! hahaha :lol:




exactly how close is close to the track? must be nice to see cars and track in your back yard. would love that deal, would have a highly tuned paintball gun with pink paintballs to shoot specifically at Wing Ding Fricke for running his mouth and the cars off and almost killing a nice place! not looking to kill just inflict a little pain with a side of laughter for all he has done to ruin the place. "if you dont like it dont come back"

Once again some one who proably doesnt even support the track adding their 2 cents worth on it. If you dont like it take your comments some where else.

How close do you live? Were you one of the ones flashing **** about 6 years ago when everyone was leaving?

Was a fine moment in Limaland history.

Let the school shut down their program and see what happens to the track. If you dont like it, run at Eldora or shadybowl or waynesfield. like 11 teen year old girls with skinned knees. my $.02 Yeah, school cars do run at the track from time to time. It is indeed school cars--from the Hi performance steering and suspension classes, it was more than likely the orange or red mod or one of the numerous trucks. And yes, they probably were brought there in a nice trailer . who cares? was it the "race team" , no. Ive been going to Limaland for 20+ years now and it's pretty sad that a bunch of grown men need to sit behind a computer and complain about what other "kids" have, rather than be out in the garage actually working on their cars. Personally i wish i had the opportunity to do what alot of these kids have the chance to do. sure, some may be spoiled littlethat have had everything handed to them their entire lifes, but a majority of them actually are hard working and want to get out there and hopefully learn something while having a good time.

this is the exact same attitude that the track has taken towards most of the drivers in the pits every weekend. Its kind of messed up the whole if you dont like go elsewhere and truthfully a lot of drivers have went elsewhere. Eventually Bobs #1 motto "If you dont like go elsewhere" is going to become the reason why Limaland stops running. Drivers and owners dont appreciate the favoritism already shown on a weekly basis at LMP and if Bob keeps repeating his motto for the whole world to know, its going to eventually kill off the race track.

I'm sorry, i should have followed up "run some where else" with something along the lines of , and see if their isn't the same scenario. All of you know ( and especially all of you drivers ) there is the same type of "favoritism" going on at any track you run at.sometimes more, sometimes less. There will always be a few kids out there getting their feet wet. Someone is going to hit someone else, and there is going to be drama. Only difference is them you wouldn't be able to blame it on a whole school for insert random excuse here and their insert random excuse here.
