Yes it would... The Miley's would make out 3 times better. No Payouts, but a few bags of chips!

Schedule says their running next 3 weeks, why wait till oct?

It is typical the way things are run at PPMS. I recall a driver being spun out on the start of a race last year and when he bumped into the driver who spun him under caution he was sent to the pits. Why wasn't Barbara sent to the pits. Same old Sh-t, it all boils down to who you are! I was not there, but Jared Miley is a great driver and it is a shame his name is being tarnished. I have never seen that kid drive dirty and feel like he was done wrong. I don't agree with the decision being turned, but perhaps the first decision should have never occured. Racing is a contact sport like it or not. Rubben is racing and if you can't handle that perhaps you should take up golf!

The f-en drama at this place is amazing but watch out he has 23 yrs of notes how they didn't f it up lol

thats funny I was thinking the same thing about the 23 years......wow how many changes were made this week in regards to the rules and such....after 23 years yours still messin with the cake mix.......I think Chuck Noll had a good saying for this ....maybe after like 10 you would move on to your lifes work......

You mean in 23 years you never hit a home run.......maybe its time to go fishing...

This is 90% of the reason I have no involvement whatsoever with UFo anymore. I will have no part with a track that makes decisions based on what happens with ONE certain race team IMO.

I should keep my mouth shut, but I can't.

This is 90% of the reason I am not involved with UFo anymore. I will have no part of any track that makes decisions based on what happends to ONE certain race team.

Hope you are friends with....or have a good Attorney. [/quote] What on earth would he need a lawyer for ??? He is posting about first hand experiance that he has had with the people in question !! I actually agree with the mileys that the provisional rule the way it used to be written was absolutely rediculous, and the ufo was the only group with THAT rediculous rule but you CANT change the rule during the night because it effects 1 person THAT night !! And doug is right the 16 3/4" tire rule is everywhere. Read the sign at eldora it reads " they enter as equals and the winner leaves immortal " ... The enter as equals part is possibly the most important part of running a successful race track. Jared is good enough that he doesnt need to be shown favoritism to run up front but unfortunately He is clearly shown it anyway and it does nothing but make the entire family look bad. If i was jard i would tell them to make sure EVERY judgement call at THAT race track GOES AGAINST him just to avoid any potential appearance of favoratism !! There are many reasons the 2012 pittsburgh was a joke compared to the early pittsburghers but that is at the TOP of the list !! Fans and drivers will stop coming when they see that blatant BS and they have stopped coming ... in DROVES !!

I have known Greg Wheeling to be the most straight up and stand up guy for over 15 years. With that said and knowing that he walked away from PPMS in the middle of the show tells me there was alot of back handed stuff going on. He knew Friday nights cancelation was all BS and qiute a few other things that happen the whole day Saturday. I think when Matt over road the call to move Jared back to 2nd place was the icing on the cake and he (Greg) did not want his name involved with that. Greg carries alot of credability through out our Tri State area and rightfully so. Imagine how bad it would have to have been for him to leave when he did. I am not sure but I would say that Greg has never had to walk away from a show until this one, and that is saying something!!!!!

Legend....don't have a dog in this fight,but.... If someone got on here and made statements (true or False) that adversly affected your deck business.....I think you would be calling your attorney! Didn't the Miley's say on here in a post a month or two ago that they would be looking to prosecute anyone that made statements that adversely affected thier business??? Thats what I read! I just think everyone should be careful before they post! All I am saying!

If they are going to attempt to prosecute ANYONE that endangers their business, they better start closer to home. They are becoming their own number 1 worst enemy!

Sure glad we went to Sharon!

They didn't say that they were going to procecute anyone! They just said that they have a rule in place that prohibits people that race there to bad mouth them over social media or message boards. If you do so, you won't be allowed to race there. You're not going to be sued. You're leagally entitled to your opinion, they can't sue you over it. Otherwise everyone that posts reviews for movies or resturaunts or anything would be in court every week.

Related to the topic, Jared flat out spun Barbara, and if I'm not mistaken, didn't they move Hodgkiss to the back for spinning Covert a few laps before that? And there have been plenty of "rough driving" penalties handed out at that place over the years, so the arguement that there is "no rough driving policy that's enforced" is BS.

You are right. I wouldn't want to say anything to damage their business any more than they already have themselves, so post edited without all the details. It has been proven before at other tracks, that running a race track and being highly involved with a race team racing at that track can be dangerous conflict of interest that can chase away fans and race teams. Some actions of the past predicted something like this would eventually happen IMO. It's just difficult to sit quitely and see that 4 years of building up the UFo name were apparently wasted by antics like this!

Jared clearly spun Keith out. Do doubt about it. It was bs that Keith got sent to the tail for no reason at all!! When Jared got his spot then on that false restart, idk what the hell he did other than put himself into the wall! Lol karma is a bitch baby!!!
