Hodgkiss usually you make good points but I think your hatred of the Mileys is starting to taint your view on things. If this race was at Lernerville I am sure you would not be on here trying to slam the efforts that Vince has done. Vince didn't have to do anything! He could have just raced his car weekly and not put together this FABULOUS race. I know Bob Schwartzmiller, Bobby Heim, the local guys etc appreciate what Vince has done here. He did all the work for the race mostly by himself. He obtained sponsors, got the purse to 2,000 to win etc. He doesn't come on Racestud and put things down or let a vendetta against people skew his view. I sponsor cars because they are my FRIENDS. Yes I do not run an all world business such as yourself, and I don't claim I am great. But I like helping people who truly appreciate it which is why I have no issues sponsoring this race and will continue to do so every year Vince runs it. Thanks Animal for sponsoring the race, you could have sat back and done nothing but you stepped up to the plate and I am sure Vince and the racers who will receive the certificates appreciate it. And also you lernerville cars really need to support this race. I don't care if Chris Schneider is like Hodgkiss and does not like the Mileys. This race was organized by VINCE! You need to support his efforts here. You say you want better pay well here it is. If you don't support the race but say you wish you raced for more well you need to blame yourself for not supporting this event. Excellent job Vince I am sure your Dad is looking down and proud and will have the best seat in the house come Saturday night.

I did .... And politics prevented it from being mentioned. 2 decal gus is not the same as any of the other conflicts
You mentioned. Ppms is Bryan's home track and he contributed to the event. Animal doesn't live anywhere near ppms , and having a competitor giving out gift certificates serves no purpose other than to siphon potential customers off Bryan to animal. It's funny you have the same anti liberal /union feelings I do but we are diametrically opposed on almost every other topic. The other company's you mentioned typically have a small work radius they draw clients from where as shipping decals specifically to racers doesn't have such limitations. Add to that a gift certificate toward something with an indefinite price tag such as racing decals essentially holds no value. It's like
Me saying ill give 200 off a deck purchase but you must present the coupon before I gave the price ... It's meaningless. As a side note I don't give discounts or coupons for anything ever ... That's a side effect of being slammed with work all year every year. I hope the race is a success but I do not condone selling your soul to make it happen.
Ok...
Let me make what I'm offering a bit more clear..
Each certificate is $200.00 towards product.. It is NOT I'll give you $200 off a Complete decal kit, IF you buy it from me..
The recipient will be able to choose how to spend that $200.00 with Animal Graphics.
As I stated in my last post.. I wanted to support this and help promote my business.
My hat's off to you Jon, that you are so busy. In this economy God knows thats a blessing!!

Kind of ironic timing lol- but I forgot to thank Danny Rich of Damage Inc Race Graphics for making the "in memory of Ed Laboon" stickers for the guys to put on their cars. Thanks!

Both Accuweather and Weather.com are saying isolated or widely scattered showers now. Down to 30% chance. Very excited. Should be fine.

Last years winner was sporting some graphics by animal..... Just sayin'. Hahaha. I don't think anyone is going to be mad that one of their competitors was allowed to put their name in this event.

Are they planning on runnning hot laps? What is the starting time? I know it said the first green flag waves at 7, but does this include hotlaps or do they start earlier? Very nice job Vince and thanks for giving us the opportunity to venture to new tracks. See you tomorrow!
#73
Posted 31 May 2013 - 05:44 AM
Hot laps usually start around 6. I believe they will have a drivers meeting after, around 620. The Stocks will then group qualify probably around 630. Heats will start at 7. Good luck and thanks for supporting the race!

Just spoke to Matt Miley. He said he will do whatever he can to get at least the Sportsman feature in tomorrow night. Sunday at 6 pm is a potential rain date. That call will be made by Matt if need be. Forecast is still for scattered storms but not a washout. With how dry it's been it should dry up quick. Thanks.

4) Roll of racers tape and box of rivers- Hard Luck
5) 4 bars of roll bar padding and bag of zip ties- randomly chosen to someone who might get some damage done in feature!
Thanks for the support Kurt!

I agree Paul- I've seen it rain everywhere BUT at the track, heck it poured quite a few times on 22/30 and never hit the track!
If we get a shower or two, just run in the track best they can and go racing. We just really need a 3 hour window after the afternoon storms,

I'm thinking positive, but if weather wins please please PLEASE don't reschedule for Sunday. You will lose all your traveling cars. It is always tough to get cars to a rescheduled event, but adding it to the next regular show would be better than a Sunday.
