I never complain about how the tracks are ran/operated/rules, but it was ridiculous. I was at the shed waiting for a drivers meeting at 1:30, because the racing was suppose to start at 2. 2 rolls around, no drivers meeting or racing so i ask and they say 2:15 for the drivers meeting. Then at the drivers meeting she says no pulling fenders, you cant do anything, you're allowed a funnel and gas at the break. Also, you have to open the gas lid with a quarter. Like, really? What is someone going to do to a car with a screw driver? So after the meeting, i confront her and say, "hey, its the end of the season, motors are wore out and using some oil could i check my oil at the break to be safe? Im not risking blowing my engine on the last night." She says, "yeah, if you come in the pits and go to the tail." WE CANT EVEN CHECK THE OIL?!! ITS THE END OF THE SEASON! MOTORS ARE WORE, THINK ABOUT IT!

Its like comparing apples to oranges if you like asphalt racing go to cnb, Ipersonally would go dirtracing over paved anyday, so them having same day really has no signifigance.

You have no idea what you are talking about. It is MOST DEFFINETLY going to affect the crowd at both tracks. STUPID move.

Don't know much about this promoter but wasn't she the promoter or owner of a track that had to be closed or sold?

[plymouth-man]

I don't usually say too much out here, but have to jump in...
Jeff and AMP did not make this decision and are not any happier about it than we are at CNB. It splits the fans, the cars and goes against several other big Dirt Specials.
Jeff and I have a good working relationship and still do. If you want to complain then please talk to the promoter of the event.
Both AMP and CNB appreciate and need your support. This isn't the end of the world - both will be here again next year!

Thanks for the input, you already had this date on your schedule and that is the race I will be attending. Yesterday would have been a perfectly fine day to run the chilli, bad call in my opinion!!

Monday morning crew chief, and if it rained and many guys stayed over, people would be bitching too. Nothing is ever right and everyone else always knows how to do it better. Clearfield got hammered with rain Friday night and the place was a mud hole Saturday, and thus why it started late. Most of you would make good wives, cause with all the bitching that goes on here, might want to check the status of what's in your pants. If you want to go, then go. If you don't, then go give your wife a hand in the garage, she could use a snack and cold beer

I've seen Jeff run that place on a Sat night with hard rain the night before, it was 80 degrees yesterday and would have dried up fast. I don't like someone running a race over top of another in the area and I will say something if I want, its America pal!! I see your good at kissing people asses, so go do what your good at!!

i ran into chris farrel in passing at the glendale havest fest and said "sure glad they didn't use the sunday ran date, way to nice out here"...

What does he race?

[racer111]

Don't know what weather report you were looking at, because I looked at two, Accuweather, and the Weather Channel, both were calling for a nice day on Sunday, with sun and 80 degrees...sorry bad move running up against all this other stuff going on...I'll go to the Keystone Open...

Sounds like you should cut your losses from Saturday and race somewhere else this Saturday if thats there attitude. That kind of attitude is why racing around here is in such sorry shape.

Its just ridiculous. Im still going to go just for the fact that ive never ran a 100 lap race and Ive always wanted too.

Since I don't own a late model, maybe I'm out of the loop. Is it common for teams check the oil during a race?

There is a 100 lapper at PPMS on the same night. Pays $25k to win. I don't know if they'd take a break to let you check your oil there either, though.

JEFF WAS TAKING CARE OF THE TRACK, BUT SAID IT WAS BAD FROM FRIDAY NIGHTS RAIN.

[speedwiz]

I have never seen a promoter make rants like this and tell fans and drivers not to come to their race. Just unprofessional and turn out at the races proves it. But hey if that's the way you want to act and promote a race go for it.

No its not. If thirdgen43's stuff burns that much oil in 50 laps that he needs to check it at the break, he needs to stay the heck home. That engine has a serious issue and you shouldn't be racing it. And I don't want to hear about money. Because doing stupid stuff like that, is why guys don't have any money. You need to race smart.

They don't let teams check oil during the race anywhere. THINK ABOUT IT.

You have a break at 50 laps, would it hurt to check the oil? It uses a little less than a quart of oil on a regular night. It needs rings.

[TOPGUNRACER]

Had a good time last week, The RAIN was unexpected. I went to the pit concession after the first shower I knew it would take some time to TRY to get the track ready. I was waited on very promptly and the prices were very reasonable. I will be back next week, also I have 2 guys that are bringing there Lates. I think you put on a good show JANNEY. RACING IS A SPORT TO ENJOY!

Agreed if a race motor is that wore out i wouldnt be runnin it

[RacinManiac 2W]

the last weather report i saw for last sunday prior to leaving for the race said 60% chance of rain on sunday, so in my head i said they cant race tomorrow its gonna rain. ill be there saturday!

[bobvogtjr30]

I personally think they should have stuck with the original rain date! The weather was perfect! What I really cant believe is that they are going to make the SS Run heat races again!! So basically we ran 10 laps for free! I don't believe that is very fair for us, its bad enough with a rain out to tow that far for nothing but to run 10 laps especially with racing fuel at $8.00 a gallon! Might not be much to some but for a lower funded team like myself funds are running low at the end of the year. Throw in that the govt cant get together so I cant even get a paycheck for working and it really makes it hard for some of us support this race. I know im just 1 person but im pretty sure most of the other 20 SS that were there would agree!
