Always great action on the track thanks to the racers and of course Gene for the great racing surface, but for you fans that do not post on here and just read and for all of you that do and/or attend Lima, watch those lima officials very closely throughout the night. Pay close attention to how they treat these guys? This is racing not russian roulette (one mistake and your finished???? WTF, too expensive these days and NO excuse for a track to treat these guys like they do), give these guys a break and treat them ALL fairly!!! Especially when you Don't have any laps IN!!!

Example one: Dussel in make up feature, gets a flat tire while getting ran over trying to avoid another car while they're all slowing for the yellow, the caution was thrown for a Dunlap spin - Result, Dunlap causes caution restarts race, Dussel tries to avoid having another crash and the track officials gives Dussel NO respect or TIME to change that left rear? There were NO laps recorded, (lap one) and I could see him restarting at the rear, but DAMN these guys spend alot of $$$$ to entertain us and they support LIMALAND even more than us fans, because without these racers and owners and the amount of dollars that they spend What do you have??? A field of Dirt with some butt benches??? WHAT The Hell you gonna sell the Fans without your Racers Lima? Don't they see that they are loosing cars or do they even care?

There should at the very least be a change tire rule of some sort, without one all they are doing is taking money from the teams!

Example two: The 19 or 99 (not sure black with green number) in the stock feature got into a spun car, no where to go, again NO laps recorded (lap one), stops on the backstretch for alittle assistance from an official, because his front clip was hanging. The official on the backstretch was trying to help him by pulling it off, but could not get it, so he Yells to the Safety truck for Cutters, they signal him to quit doing what he was doing, in other words they told him to QUIT helping him out??? This racer pulls into the infield? Since when did Limaland quit helping Racers in the name of Safety? Maybe there were fans up in the stands cheering this guy on? What would it have hurt to give him a second shot, he didn't cause this wreck either???

I feel sorry for the Racers at Lima because of the way that the officials treat the Racers that do support that track, and am sure that these types of actions will continue to hurt the car counts. People are starting to see it more and more, because it is becoming so very obvious???

Another thing is: I think the college race program is awesome, but who the hell is paying for all the damages the college drivers caused Fri. night? They were all over the place???

Not making up anything here, I watched it all with my own eyes and for anyone else that was there and takes the time to absorb the things that are going on at Lima I trust that you all seen it too.

If i had a race car I certainly would not take it there, and i think it is starting to catch on among the locals and the regulars, the guys that pay the bills, NOT the ones that show up once a year and get more repsect and publicity in one night than our locals and 40 hour a week racers that bust their Asses to entertain us ALL SEASON!!!

JMO, Bring It!!!

[pedalmasher]

Sounds like you have alot of the same views and or opinions that i have, but where in the Hell did I say anything about Hammons????????? I used Mike Dussel and a stock car driver as examples, (It was either the #99 Andy king or the #19 Bill Reimund, Sorry i did not look it up the other nite before i posted!) as to the way that Lima officials are treating the drivers that we all cheer for every week!!! Anyway I'm not bitchin at you, because i think we see through the same scope, as was my whole point of the post to begin with. I want the fans to know how the racers are being treated at limaland, and if the fans cannot see it, then they are the fans that are drinkin too much, and nothing wrong with that i used to do that myself

[blackflagmanwhaa]

Favortism!!! What about Wolters actions at the scales blocking them on Stewart , then when he got out of his car Wolters bumps his chest on him. Now if that would of been Ron he would of been kicked out. maybe the people in the stands had a pitpass. As for the track its dirt it does get dusty.Seems like the fans saw a great night of racing. It just seems funny to that some one was booed friday night. How many times has he gotten into some one. FAVORTISM. No UNOH car was in front of Tony when he got it from behind about twice up in turns 1&2 . This is not nascar with a bump and run is it???

[racechasser]

Yea Not Sure What The Hell Was Wrong with Wolters Friday Nite??? Pretty agressive on the Track, and with the Incident at the Scales and then just alittle later in the Pits???? I can understand Frustration, but if your going to start to take it out on your Competitors, YOU NEED A TALKIN TOO!!!! He Drove Like a Mad Man All Nite??? WTF??? Looked Like A College Tryout? Lima Only Sees What They Wanna See, have had that figured out for about 8 years now My well spent 2cents worth Whats Yours?

[sprintfan53]

Seems to be the same old, same old. Don't know why the sour grapes from Sauder7, can't figure out the jealousy of the Hammons team with the success that Kyle has had. The draw is a matter of luck, so what time you do it really doesn't matter, it is not like all the low numbers are drawn first!!! As always, if you want to draw for the team, contact Ron. If I remember right, Allison and Schroeder both started in the front row of their heats-JR and Dussel started in the second and third rows!?! Wolters, Allison and a few other teams have not had the punishment and probation from various incidents, inconsistency has always been an issue. As far as coming from the grandstands to the front stretch for pictures, you just have to pay the extra $13.00 to buy a pit pass. Dussell was not allowed to have his son on the track for pictures, because he didn't have a pit pass.

Dont know why your complaining about the hammon's team. They get more favortism then anyone thier! Why is it he is the first to draw every week before anyone gets thier Hmmm? Last friday when dussel won they a loud the hammon's team to come down out of the grandstands and get pics with them. I tried and they told me no one was aloud a few weeks ago? All in all I do agree that lima isnt very consisent. And a tire change like the allstars have would be great for all teams!! And a little more water this week than last week. The track went away very fast and I do understand they ran two make up features also. jmo

Everyone on the front stretch in the pictures had pit passes. The will only allow you to come on the front stretch if you have one. Mike asked If he could grab his son to get in the picture and they said not without a pitpass......so no favortism there.

Yea right!!!!! Frickie and Ron have drinks and dinner before each race too lmao. As for the track, it was excellent for racing (GOOD JOB GENE) sounds like maybe your driver needs to know how to feather the peddle instead of a tacky track that is nothing but follow the leader. I would like to say thanks to Gene for the excellent track conditions.

Have to agree, that was one good racing surface out there Friday, Thanks Gene, as for the tacky tracks "they suck", all that creates is a follow the leader race.
Would like to say congrats to Dussel and crew good job.

You want to hear some thing i was working the pitgate at Waynesfield and that night it was a NRA. Dave Elwer walked over to me and said skip draw a number for the invert on the feature. You know what i drew a Freakin 12 a FREAKIN 12. I thought some one will be pissed at me. Well guess what it put Stewart on the front row and i think Allison beside him. Now you want to call me a cheater , Ron nor any one from the Hammons team was around just me Dave and a couple of racing fans. But then again it was rigged Isnt it funny how just a post on a great night of racing turns into a trashing, And i must admit im just as guilty.

[sprinter75]

you cheater skip lol think it's funny sauder7 first post and starts out dogging people !!! pay the extra $13.00 get a pit pass get in the next picture and go down and draw for the 6 team WHAT A DEAL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[shady_bucks]

LMAO @ all of you. The Hammons team wins for the first time this year at Limaland and instantly they are cheating again, you guys crack me up. You know what i think your problem is? Your starting to realize that theres nothing you can do to keep Hammons from winning races and nothing you can do to keep him from winning championships. congrats on the win Dussel and keep up the championship run JR One more thing if limaland plays such big favorites for the Hammons cars then explain this to me, If Fricke had not DQed Dussel the one night that he did Dussel would have a nice lead in the points at Limaland. Trust me do your own math but i have already figured this out Dussels average finish in heat races and Features is (with this win) over one spot better A NIGHT than Allison.

[dirtfan20]

as i recall...same deal at eldora...but timmy...bypass scales and ron argued ...he was put on probation and tim got his position? right or wrong?

[sprintfan53]

Like I said, same old-same old. If you are not winning, someone else must be cheating!! If you have to run down someone else and their success, then you really don't have a race team, just a pit full of crybabies. Man up or turn that race trailer into a beauty shop and you can cluck all day long!!

[sprinter75]

wasn't tim at eldora it was helms
